Thanks Dan! Argentine is a fun one. Nothing difficult at all until you get well above the tree line and the old abandoned gold mines (use to be a rail bed long ago) and even past that just two spots that you will use 4L to crawl up as you reach the ridge line summit. Even if you just drive up to the mines its a really fun trip and worth the drive. The kids like digging around for souvenirs up there. Once the snow melts its a pretty popular camping spot for many so there is quite a bit of friendly help you will pass on most weekends along the way should you need it.
I will say coming back down those two spots from the top the down hill assist mode is your friend!
P.S.- watch out for the sharp rocks up there. I did blow out a side wall on our last trip in late fall but within 30 seconds of it happening literally I had two other guys coming up opposite direction that were eager to help change the spare.
Thanks. I'll but Argentine on my list. When we looked into doing something in that area (Montezuma, etc.) last Summer it was still June and due to a wet spring they had some flooding. Never got back to it.
What tires were you using when you had your flat?
