About 20 years ago, I did the road on my bicycle. It was an amazing ride. It has some great views and some great places to visit like an old grave and the remnants of a community.
@@michaelsyoutubechannel5857 Can offroad tires get away with regular street tire pressure on this trail, or did you guys deflate? Based on the video, looks like you guys had normal tire pressure.
Great video! It's exactly what I needed to see. Heading out there to camp next weekend and was curious about the road conditions. Like the previous commentor, taking a full size 4x4 truck with no lift. It will be a little challenging but I think it will handle it.
Glad you found it helpful. I know I watched every video I could find before heading out there. It's an awesome off road trail with just enough minor challenges to keep it interesting. More than anything, it allows you to get off the pavement into the heart of beautiful Big Bend National Park. You really have to experience it first hand to appreciate it. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for sharing! Looks beautiful. m camping off Old Ore Road in a month. I'll be coming into the trail near the southside by the Rio Grande and camping about 30 minutes into the drive. I've got a 1500 GMC Sierra 4x4 (no lift) and slightly concerned about road conditions.
Thanks for the comment. We started on the North end near Hwy 385 and drove south, finishing on Park Road near Rio Grande. We only passed 3 vehicles during the entire 3 1/2 hour drive, but one was a 4x4 truck with little to no lift heading north to camp as you'll be doing. There's nothing too sketchy on this trail so I imagine you'd be okay with your 4x4. All the challenging sections are represented in the video with most challenging being at the 8:00 mark. Enjoy your trip. I'm sure it's going to be amazing!
@@michaelsyoutubechannel5857 Excellent. Thank you so much for the response. I watched your whole video and noticed the challenging part at the 8 minute mark. Looks fun and thanks again!
I had some small branches run up against my Jeep which did a bit of light pinstriping to the plastic edging on my tire flares. Based on that, I would say that with a full size truck, some light scratches are a definite possibility. Best of luck!
Do your tires rub at all with the two inch lift? I have basically the same thing just with 33's. I want to put 35's on mine but am concerned about rubbing with only a two inch lift.
Very nice ride. That Jeep deserves to be virtual ducked!

Very impressive that you rode this trail on a bicycle. It's a beautiful ride!
great video. was there any part that you had go 4lo? thanks.
Thank you. 4 hi was plenty. If it were wet, 4 lo would be nice to have as an option.

We were able to get away with normal tire pressure on this trail. No loose areas which would require airing down.
Great video can't wait to make my own in a couple of weeks!!
How long did it take from start to finish ? :)
We took our time and it took about 3 1/2 hours start to finish.

Would a full size truck get scratched up?

Absolutely zero rubbing. It hits the bump stops before it hits the fender walls. I have had no issues with clearance.
@@michaelsyoutubechannel5857 Awesome, thanks, that helps me in my decision to upgrade my tires.
