In Drop Down, teams completed a two-stage rappel, totalling 270 feet (82 m), to reach Bull Canyon and their next clue.
  For the Roadblock, one team member was required to put on skis and descend a 60-foot (18 m) ski-jump training ramp into an Olympic pool to get their next clue.
  Additional tasks
  At John Ford's Point, two team members from each family to take a helicopter to Elephant Butte, where they could retrieve the next clue from the summit. The helicopter could take two families at a time.
  After the Detour, teams were instructed to travel to Green River, and find Green River State Park for an overnight rest. Teams received departure times 15 minutes apart, determined by the order of their arrival.
  The next day, teams found their clues on marked GMC Yukon vehicles, directing them to Heber City to find Bart the Bear, who had the next clue in his mouth.
