Nice! Sorry I missed this, but I stayed in Phoenix for a World Series watch party.

I did this trail a few months ago (7/2023) in my R1T on 20" brights. I posted a thread with a bunch of pics back then. I'm surprised the trail wasn't too crowded this time of year with pink Jeeps. It's a bit narrow in some areas and hard to pass, but it looks like things went very well!

In the last pic, I remember slipping right in that spot where the white R1T is. That part is way steeper than it looks. I'm guessing someone found a good line? Anyone else slip there?

Looking forward to meeting the group at a future event! Glad it all went well!

There is a little slide for everyone. We had good guides on the hill! It was a little busy out there, especially with the 10 of us

Had a great time with our first AZ Rivian group outing. Made new friends and increased the love of my Rivian! Amazed at what it can do!

This is my favorite trail if I didn't live in chicago now I would have already gone there in the R1T to do the trail. Did anyone attempt to go up the stairs?

Did anyone attempt ascending the 3rd picture? I got stuck in a similar obstacle going up but with looser terrrain. This was a while ago in an R1S so not sure if the software updates have made this ascend more manageable.

Maybe this one is doable for a Rivian with the right spotting to prevent having too many wheels in the air.

I was that guy in the blue R1T that showed up when you all were on your way out. Pretty funny getting into the trail to see so many Rivians out there!

Made a video of my trip, there's a few shots of this Rivian crew on Broken Arrow!

I have done that (the staircase) down hill in my RIvian and LR4, the LR4 has also done the uphill section on the Left just after mushroom rock without issue. The RIvian struggled and I gave up on it. The LR4 has a rear locker that helped a lot, and the spinning tires of the Rivian in the same location were a little disconcerting, also the RIvian tended to skid sideways whilst going down the devil's staircase, something the LR4 has not done ever (done it several times in it).

Did you turn off Hold on braking for your Descend? My guess is that the Hold was Braking/Locking the tires and skidding

I believe in the appropriate terrain selector it automatically turns off the Hold/brake which I would have used for this, I do not recall a 100% at this time but I know I feathered the accelerator for a moment to straighten it out
