Wheeler Lake Jeep Trail
Wheeler Lake jeep trail is a 7 rated trail. We headed out to the trail Saturday morning July 8th with 11 jeeps. To get to the trail from Fairplay head north on route 9 to County 4 which is 2 miles north of Alma. Turn left on County 4. Follow the road for 1.9 miles turn left then later bear right and follow fs 408 around Montgomery reservoir to the trail.

A great view of the valley. It was a great day for a trail run, but the trail was very busy. There had to be 50 vehicles on the trail, which caused alot of waiting. Chris broke a front left axle and had to pull the axle and drive down in 2 wheel drive and Greg still seems to be having damage show up caused by the Rubicon Trail. He completely broke off a lower control arm bracket while just driving down the trail. Fortunately both where able to do a trail fix that allowed them to drive their vehicles home.
