The main attraction at Hill 60 is the river. It's one of the more difficult places to get to, but I did it when my 4runner was stock so I think you'll be fine. And there's a good route that goes to the river, then over to Mt Sicker, so we can do that and just avoid the party spots where we're likely to find nails.
Skutz Falls would be fine too. We can easily turn around at any point. Most of it is just old logging roads and power lines. A few obstacles along the way. They're also logging out that way lately though, so I don't know how it looks right now. Things change fast when they're logging.
I don't think we'll have any snow, but it'll be wet and sloppy. There's a short water\mud crossing to get to the Hill 60 river spot, and I'm not sure what it'll look like this time of year.
I've done both trips multiple times, so I have no preference either way!
Hill 60 is always good, and well used, so most of the trails are wide enough to avoid any damage. There are a few technical\difficult spots, but stock rigs get through just fine with a spotter.
Mt. Sicker is also good fun, but last time I went up there the guy I was with ended up with multiple nails in his tires. People burn pallets out there and leave the nails behind. So I've been avoiding it.
There are also some nice routes around Skutz Falls up to a viewpoint. One part of it is really sketchy up a very steep power line trail, but last time I was there I found a potential bypass to avoid that. So I'd be up for exploring that too. The final stretch to the viewpoint is really difficult too, but we can go as far as we feel comfortable.
Mt Hall is also an option, up to a cool cabin, but we'd probably hit snow. It goes up to 1100m elevation.
We're meeting at 9:30am tomorrow at the bottom of Hill 60 FSR, if anyone else is interested in joining!
Saturday's fine for me! But let's wait and see if anyone else is coming, and if they have a preference.
Let's do it! Which day is better? Sunday is better for me, but I can do either.

I'm up for whatever!
