Sorry to be so negative, but the location Web site didn't win me over like Paradise Canyon's. I did tour the Hidden Fall's Web site and had to agree the Frank's initial assessment - beyond the name, they do nothing to promote its natural beauty/appeal.
Perhaps in future posts this year's TCR organizers can do more to sell to the event site's benefits beyond off-road adventure.

I'm a caver who REALLY doesn't care about motorized off-road vehicles and who seriously doesn't want to spend a weekend listening to them roar through the park. At least Inks Lake and Longhorn Caverns are within a few miles of this miserable TCR site.

Jeeze, big difference between this arid off-road-vehicle park and the lush, verdant river banks and cool, clear waters of Paradise Canyon! I was hoping to convince my girlfriend to fly back with me for this year's TCR but I don't dare send her the link to the Hidden Falls website. Non-cavers who aren't serious motorized off-road vehicle aficionados will likely be scared off by the site's scrublands landscape and their ORV-focused "tour of the park" video and photo album.
