I am not going to be redundant about saying this is another great video.....but it is! This is right in my backyard and I did not know about it. It also fits my criteria for not destroying my Wrangler on axel-breaking roads. Well, maybe next time I can join you on a similar short, easy off-road trip. Take care and keep the videos coming.
The trail is an easy one, no obstacles to deal with, just a fire road that winds it's way up the hill. Once you hit dirt, the trail will take you 2 - 2.5 hours round trip. Thanks for watching!
Trail ratings are subjective. You should definitely be in a high clearance 4wd vehicle. There are a few ruts and rocky sections that would leave a normal car stranded. But a Cherokee or Subaru would be enough. And I have not been there since the heavy rainy season this past year, so conditions may have changed. Thanks again for watching!@@deserttrailscout
Hi Bill, Great video. I have a question, I noticed in one of your videos a phone mount on the dash. Can you let me know which mount you use? Thanks Dave...
In my JK, I have the "67 designs" mount for my phone. It is their dual ball mount for the Jeep JK. It is a very solid mount that is super versatile. I can mount my phone, ipad, go pro, or radio all on the same setup. In the Gladiator, I have a similar setup but by a different company. The Gladiator has a mount made by " Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions". It is a very similar setup but is a little more budget friendly.
While I wouldn't take a passenger car, you will be fine in a soft-roader. Something like a Subaru, small SUV, or pickup shouldn't have any problems. Thanks so much for watching!
Drove up in my Dodge Omni... Tinged my oil pan... So worth it
It is a great drive. Thanks for watching!

It is a great day trip which can be completed in a stock vehicle. Next time I head out that way, I will let you know. Thanks again for watching!
Good to see the regrowth. Thanks for taking us along.
Mother Nature is awesome. Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much for watching!
How long does this trail take to complete?

@@JKsouthwest thank you! Just wondering why it’s a 4 on Onx Offroad, I guess the shelf roads bring up the score even if it’s on the easier side.

Another great video Bill. I still want to go again, just need to make time.
Prime Jeep weather is just around the corner! Thanks for watching!
The video makes it look easy. In your opinion could a rav4 awd make this trip?
A Rav 4 should be fine on this one. It is mostly a graded dirt road. Just take your time and enjoy the ride. Thanks for watching!

Looks like it might be doable in a soft-roader type vehicle. Is there anything that would rule that out?

OnX has this trail rated as a 4… seems like it should be rated a 2 from what I see here.
