There has been a lot of hand work done over the years to make the features what they are. Thanks to all those who stayed off the radar working the trail the past few years
@@Trail89Adventures Yeah hopefully, I've looped at the map of the fire online, looks like its mostly to the west of the trail but who knows how accurate those maps are.
I loved your video on this and I am in Arizona who loves to go out in the desert and 20 years ago probably went on this trail but for the life of me I do not know where it starts so do you by any chance have GPS coordinates for where it starts
@@shrek1983able thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately this trail is closed again due to the wildfires this year. The Forest Service is currently showing this closed until at least 12/31/24. The coordinates for the beginning of the trail are 33.86516 -111.62725 This is also a permit required area. You can search for the permit are Recreation.gov.
Hello Todd, I'm new to off roading and love your work. I do have a question. Do you have skid plates on your jeep. I plan on going on the type of trails you run. just wondering if I need to spend the extra money. Thanks for the help and Keep up the awesome work !!
Hi. Thanks for watching and the feedback on the videos. Glad you enjoy them. As for my Jeep, I have a Rubicon model so it came with some basic skid plates from the factory. I have not added anything additional from a skid plate perspective. Any video on the channel that was posted prior to the video titled "Rolls 1343" shows my Jeep with a stock Rubicon lift and stock Rubicon 33" tires. I ran it that way for several years and it was very capable right off the lot. I decided to lift it and add bigger tires over the winter so any video from Rolls 1343 and newer shows it with a 3.5" lift and 37" tires. I will tell you the Telegraph Line Trail video pushed my Jeep to new limits. You heard some noises on that video of the tires rubbing the inner fenders and my front drive shaft rubbing. Was on three wheels a couple of times as well. I wouldn't take a stock vehicle on that trail. Hope that helps.
Hey Todd. What's all that creaking and popping noises? You have tire rubbing or something? Lots of noises coming from that jeep. A group of my friends from Arizona Broncos did that trail... All IFS. Some definite 3 wheeling with IFS 😊Nice video bub
HaHa yeah I know. Couple things. This trail will put your suspension to max flex. Some of the noise was tires hitting my inner plastic fenders and I believe my front drive shaft was rubbing as well. I have a new / longer one but haven’t put it in yet. Little more work to do after adding 3.5” lift and 37” tires.
@@XlonejX you know, I want to say 4-5 hours. There were a lot of people on the trail since it was the first day it was open. Unfortunately the trail is now closed due to the wildfires over the summer.

Never thought I’d see the day. I was talking to a ranger shortly after they closed the area, he said it should only be closed a few months, ha!
@@wallysworkin823 well it is back closed again so hopefully not for as long as this time.
The parts where you can drive right up to the lake are my favorite. I know it’s not technical, but such a cool spot in our state
awesome trail, awesome video. I'm glad I got to do it before the temporary closure. I'm hoping to get out there again in the fall.
I just hope that new fire wasn’t so bad that it prevents the area from opening up agin.

Did it the first week it opened...lots of fun on that one

OnX rates this as a 7/10 for difficulty. This is for the off-camber and big holes.
Unfortunately, the forest service extended the closure through September 30th, 2024.
Excellent video! Looks like a spotter would come in handy in places. Did the new fire close this down again?
I believe the fire has closed it down until June 17 was the last I saw on it. A spotter would definitely come in handy in a few of these areas.

@@Trail89Adventures yeah man get some aftermarket inner Fender liners.... some metal ones, they will give you more clearance. DV8 make some nice ones
Why do I feel that metal molle roof piece in the drivers seat would slice your head open in an accident? @8:42
I've done some work in the crash safety industry and thought the same thing.
Around how long did it take you??
@@XlonejX you know, I want to say 4-5 hours. There were a lot of people on the trail since it was the first day it was open. Unfortunately the trail is now closed due to the wildfires over the summer.
I’m guessing it’s currently closed due to the fires
Currently closed through June 7th. I am sure the forest service will update before then if they are going to extend the closure.
@@Trail89Adventures looking forward to exploring this new to me trail 👍🏻 thank you. Safe travels
Open for 2 to 4 weeks now closed again due to fires.
Just looked up the closure for the Wildcat Fire. Looks like it goes through 6/22/24 right now. Did you get to run the trail before it was closed?
@@Trail89Adventures I wanted to go to Devil's hole missed my opening. Indian Springs wash trailhead was open.
@@bigrockauto another fire broke out over the weekend by Bartlet Lake so we will see if the area opens back up on 6/22 or not.
How long does it take to run this trail?
I would say 4 hours or so. Maybe a little longer.
