The variable to trail times is the size of the group Michelle. Really depends on that.
I expect for Rattlesnake Canyon on Saturday that we will hit the trail head around 9:30-10:00am. Probably be on the trail until at least 3pm...possibly a little later.
Been looking at a few historic mine sites along the trail for everyone to check out and explore...as well as logging a few geocaches. From the trail list and reading a few posts, I think there will be a few children along and want to offer several family friendly opportunities. Geocaches and gold mining history should fit the bill...with a good dose of fun off roading thrown in for good measure.
Last February we ran 36 (yes, thirty-six) vehicles through Rattlesnake Canyon and it took about 6 hours...but we kept the pace "up-tempo" to make sure we didn't run out of daylight.
Hopefully that provides some insight.
...and yes, a group with a very good sense of humor with an even better sense of selfless trail etiquette.
