Hey local Bronco!

I see your ride from time to time around the Jewel or when I’m walkin my dog around the Dunkin. You may have spotted my a51 4d Big Bend from time to time. The double decal badges on mine are an easy identifier.

I gotta keep tabs on here again to hit up the next meetup/off-road session. Still haven’t put mine through it’s paces off-road

It's a great park. My first bronco drive was there. Ford rented the park for the day. Bronco did what I didn't know that I could do.

Here is a video from a user on here who did the Bronco Rally there last Fall. Rocky Glen starts at the 4 min. mark.

They’re very mild to slightly moderate… I would say the hardest stuff at Rocky Glen is similar to the Intermediate at Byron.

MOST of Rocky Glen is just like the Easy Trail from Byron.

Depending on if we get any rainfall, there will be some decent mud to play in without risk… there is one hole that should be avoided, but it’s got warning signs all around it, and you can’t stumble into on accident.

lol oh hey… that’s me on the thumbnail

Yep, I agree. RG is fairly easy, tho' I did have a Ford ride-along dude telling me what to do....MUCH different than Byron, which really worked my knees!

And much much smaller.

Watching that vid, didn't have that deep of mudholes when I was there, tho' it was quite wet and muddy. Frankly, I wouldn't go into some of those considering some folks' alternator issues and fuel pump starvations....
