We will be driving on a variety of terrain so you can experience you and your vehicle's capabilities, and perhaps some limitations! You will not be required to traverse anything you are uncomfortable with, but are encouraged to try out a few things for the experience. We will provide instruction, direction, advise, and spotting through difficult terrain, and you will have the opportunity to do the same for your fellow students.
