🔥 TRAILRECON SUMMIT 5 — TICKETS ARE LIVE! 🔥

Five years in, and this is still our favorite weekend of the year. Not because of the trails. Not because of the gear. Because of YOU. 🤝

This is where strangers become trail family. Where the fire burns late and the stories run later. Where everyone leaves with a bigger crew than they came with.

✨ What's new in '26:
🎯 Long Range Precision Rifle Clinic with Buck Holly — 2022 Team USA World Champion 🥈
⚡ Heads up: the rifle clinic is capped at 12 shooters. It WILL sell out.

Look what the canyon revealed this weekend!

On the left: a beautiful piece of Alibates Flint — an agatized dolomite found almost exclusively in the Texas Panhandle. Pre-Columbian peoples quarried this exact stone for over 13,000 years to make tools and arrow points that were traded as far as the Pacific coast. The swirling reds and creams formed roughly 250 million years ago when silica-rich water replaced ancient seabed sediments.

On the right: fossilized gastropods (ancient snails) preserved in cross-section, dating back to a time when this canyon was a shallow inland sea or tidal flat. Those little coils are the inside of shells from creatures that lived hundreds of millions of years before the first dinosaur.

Every trail at MERUS is laid over a 250-million-year-old time capsule. What have YOU found out here? Share your photos in the comments — we love seeing the canyon through your eyes.

One important reminder: take pictures, not the pieces. These fossils and flints are part of what makes Palo Duro magic. Leave them for the next explorer to discover, and let the canyon keep its stories. Snap it, share it, and leave it where it lies.
Happy trails — and happy hunting.

Not your average off-road weekend. 🌄🔥

Texas Toyota Takeover 6 isn’t just an event — it’s what happens when 100 Toyota, Lexus, and Land Cruiser rigs take over Palo Duro Canyon for one unforgettable weekend.

From smooth scenic trails to technical climbs that’ll test your build…
From first-timers to seasoned wheelers…
From solo drivers to full crews…

This is where stories are made.

You’ll spend your days on guided trail runs, pushing your rig and your skills…
And your nights around campfires, swapping stories, checking out builds, and meeting people who get it.

🚙 All skill levels welcome
🏕️ Festival-style camping included (cabins + RV upgrades available)
🔥 Catered dinner Saturday night

But here’s the part that matters most…

We’re limited to just 100 rigs.

So once it fills up — that’s it.

👇 Drop a comment:
What rig are you bringing?

Let’s see who’s pulling up to the canyon.
