After going up and down the hills a couple of times, you'll make your last ascent to the top of Alamo Mountain which is over 6000 feet. You will notice the terrain becomes much rockier. The pine trees give way to desert flora. The final part of the trail has some serious rocky ruts and boulders. This is where more clearance, skid plates and rock rails will be appreciated.
On my most recent trip up I ran into a group of Jeeps at the top of the trail that turned out to be the Bakersfield Trailblazers on a maintenance run cleaning up the trail. In their group was a brand new Rubicon that had made the climb. Fortunately, the one upgrade on the Rubicon was a set of rock rails. I could see the scrape marks on the driver's side where they did their job of protecting the Jeep from damage. |
