Our event is a Poker Run style run where participants collect cards at check points on the trail.  Back at camp the cards are opened and the highest hand wins.  As part of our evening events we have our steak and chicken dinner with all the trimmings followed by our evening ceremony.

Our evening ceremony includes an awards presentation and celebration for our 40th year.  Followed by our prize drawings for kids and adults the celebration continues with music and dancing and of course the famous Hi-Landers Whistle Dancers.  Plan on staying up late and celebrating our 40th Poker Run

This Poker Run trail offers many challenges for our participants this year.  Though we feel confident that most any 4 Wheel Drive vehicle can navigate through this challenging trail, we caution that there is a great possibility of vehicle damage.  We will have spotters at all of the difficult areas on the trail to assist you, so that your trail ride is an enjoyable one.

On run day, the first vehicles lined up at the trailhead at 6:15 a.m. will be the first to leave on the run. Additional groups of vehicles will leave at 1-hour intervals thereafter.  The last group will leave at 9:30 a.m.  No vehicles will be allowed on the trail after 9:30 a.m.

After the Trail Run we have a whole Saturday evening of events planned.  First there is a barbeque style dinner   Following dinner is the awards ceremony, followed by the prize drawing. First up is the kids and then the big kids (adults) prize drawing.   Finally the dance floor opens and our entertainment will keep you going till the wee hours of the morning.  Don't miss our famous Whistle Dancers. They typically make their appearance an hour or two into the dance.
