  • #lytlecreek #coldwatercanyon #3n06a
    This by far is the hardest trail I've done in 2WD. We took 13 rigs of different size and capability to go and explore Lytle Creek area. We started with doing the 3N06 trail and end up hitting up 3N06A which was also called Cold Water Canyon. The trail itself is easy, however the last mile on the 3N06A was by far the hardest section. I end up having to be pull up a few times in order to make it to the end.

    @justinh7099 2 года назад +1

    I think you are right when you say the hardest part is the steepness and the loose rocks. The trail also has some spots where you need to bump and it's very difficult to get the momentum. Great job as a crew getting you all up there and great video. Oh and there is nothing wrong with getting pulled, it happens to everyone

    Great video. I was there this past SAT/SUN. May 2022, either the trail got worse or you missed recording the harder parts near the top. There was 2+ foot boulders and holes. First time with my built Rubicon so I was able to make it without issues.

    • @davidleanos8978
      @davidleanos8978 3 года назад +1

      The good thing about aftermarket locker is that u can engage at any time. In the stock locker you can only engage while it’s in 4lo. So I think that’s the upside to aftermarket . It’s that you can engage while in 2wd 4hi or 4lo

      Oh yea, would've been much easier, however I think it's the overall crowded trail that made it hard. People coming down while you're trying to get momentum can be hard.

    • @Michael_Tran
      @Michael_Tran  3 года назад

      It's not actually a campground...it's more of a dispersed camping. If theres an empty yellow post sign, technically you can camp there, so it's all along the trail. But if you do both trails, you're looking at roughly 5-10 miles
