Peters Mill Run OHV Trail Shenandoah/George Washington National Forest with R1S

[kanundrum]

Did Peters Mill Run OHV Trail https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/gwj/recreation/ohv/recarea/?recid=73965&actid=24 Which is a Jeep Badge of Honor Trail mainly to test for future events to make sure they are 21" and 22" friendly. Spoiler Alert: THEY ARE NOT haha. I would not recommend it at least with the amount of rocks there were that would take our a thin sidewall easily.

Trail Length: 8.4 Miles
Time to Complete: 3 Hours with a 45 min lunch Break
Difficulty: Moderate to Slightly More Moderate on some parts (dont have to go)
Power Used: 8% (Confirmed across various Rivians)

@kanundrum - Thanks for looking out for us on 22" wheels!

With those aftermarket wheels, the R1 looks like an R2.

Nice photos. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like no issues for those with 3P Running Boards (RMAXX?)

Thanks for this article. Bottom line is get the 20”s as Rivian intended!

What are you looking at getting?

What are you looking at getting?

Probably a voltaic black rhino wheel or atomic wheels with a 20" tire just not sure if I want LT or AT.

Got to be careful on the Massanutten range. Last time we were there, we were greeted by this sign.

The newer crew members were on the lookout. The older crew members kept their eyes down. There are things you just can’t unsee.

Yeah, I've done Peter's Mill in my CJ7 and my XJ, but we're talking alot more sidewall. And Peters mill is relatively tame. I really wish someone would develop a brake kit so smaller wheels can fit on these things without sacrificing too much stopping distance. Seventeen inch wheels would give an appropriate amount of sidewall. I dont see people chopping the wheel wells to put really bit tires on em, but who knows once they get out of warrenty.
