Rivian group drive over Bennet pass and Gunsight Ridge on Mt. Hood

[jjswan33]

As a side shoot off a few of us that were part of @DuckTruck Mt Hood outing decided to take an off road drive over Bennett Pass and Gunsight Ridge. We went in the opposite direction I have gone before (starting at Meadows) and there was a bit of snow on the trail. Still a piece of cake.

3 Rivians and one future Rivian owner in his Jeep. Good times.

To add thanks to @av8or for trailing. It was nice wheeling with you folks, not sure if the other two participants are on this forum but thanks for coming along, and a pleasure meeting all of you.

What an incredible view from that overlook! Always love seeing these trips. Will be even better with more Rivians out there.

That was fun! It really gets me ready for the s00n email. @jjswan33 thanks for the guided tour over Bennet pass it was such a better and more scenic drive than the alternative. And a special thanks to @DuckTruck for organizing the trip!

PNW Bigfoot sighting!

I haven’t matched all the names and faces with the handles on this forum, but shout out to all that were there and it was fun meeting you all.

I don’t think we needed to, but we did at the TH.

Any traction issues with the 21s vs the 20s?

Curious on the same question myself!

 

[jjswan33]

@jclicky, @nfrank I wasn’t rolling on the 21s but the word was no issues. I believe the driver was @TheHuskyOrionGoesElectric if he wants to comment.

I was running the 21’s aired down to 35 and didnt have any trouble at all. I used to take my 2 wheel drive chevy Colorado on similar trails and there were really only a few spots that were tricky. For the 21’s and the R1T it was pretty much a cake walk. Not a single slip.

Beautiful pictures. i'm extremely jealous. Looking forward to the day when i can travel in my R1T cross country to these west coast spots. Just very inspiring to know you can go to places like this and get away from it all. Thanks again for sharing!
