BERDOO CANYON: Joshua Tree Trail Run in 4Runner SR5 / Rated Easy

Wheeling in Joshua Tree National Park.
CORRECTION: @ 1:31 in the video I describe the trail as “sandy and loose”. Most of it is actually packed dirt with a thin layer of lose sand and gravel on top.

Lucky noob here. I rented a Jeep Wrangler Sahara on my recent trip to J-Tree and had never driven in these kinds of conditions -- even though it's rated easy. A local driving through near the Geology road entrance said I'd be fine, so I proceeded. I didn't know about airing down and as a result ended up having a tire blow out. Managed to replace the tire, but was pretty stressed out for the second half of the trail down to the valley. Lessons learned.

Glad you made it out ok. Those rocks can be pretty sharp!
