i dont recall the exact way, the website gives you the address and i followed mapquest, i burned alot of fuel, i'd fill up both tanks right before you go into the park to be safe, should be similar to what i burned since the old truck was a 460. i think its about an hour and a half to 2 hour drive from here if i recall correctly.

probably, the trails are all rated and the map they give you is really good, blue-green-red- black. going easy to hard. i would not do the rock creek in your truck nor would i do teh deep pits and bowls. the hill climbs, log trail and other green trails you should do ok on but i gurantee you will get stuck some with your truck, as long as you have the long straps you should be fine.

the jeep is doing a vertical rock wall climb and the high boy is entering the 5 ft mudpit located just inside the park on the "pole trail"

then definatly carry a 5 gallon can... the log trails are most of the park.... it was access roads for the log sites... hence the name log trails, they are full of mud spots, stream crossings and deep ruts. here are the maps of the park, 90% of the green trails are log trails...ps, crawlers ridge was crazy!! i had a blast on that one. i dont think your truck would make it. imagine superman throwing boulders into a 200 foot tall mountain of jagged rocks.... thats what you drive up at a 45* angle or greater. you go rock to rock.. i cant find any pictures of that right now though.
