- Quick run through Bulldog Canyon, entering at Wolverine and exiting at Ellsworth. The trail is a good bit rougher than usual thanks to recent rains. Camera is a G1W dashcam, mounted in a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 2" budget boost and 31" tires.
I cried after watching this
Great video, thank you.
Best time to do bulldog is mid October after there have been several good rains over a few months. Just did it last week and it is pretty tore up which makes it a bit more fun.
Do you think a stock 4WD Sequoia could do this trail? I've read comments that the trail is pretty rough now but I didn't see anything in your video that looked to difficult.
I haven't been on the trail in months - possibly not since this video now that I think about it. I also have never taken a Sequoia off road but I would expect it to handle most of the trail without any issues. The biggest issue I could see would be the rock that shows up at 11:07. If your front wheel ends up off the rock before the rear climbs it, you could end up coming down hard on the frame on that side. If you want to rule that in or out very quickly, you can run this route in reverse by entering off of Ellsworth so the rock is very close to the gate.
Or, worst case if you follow the same path we took, and you decide you aren't going to clear that rock, you would backtrack to the end of the wash (8:35 in the video) and go straight across the wash instead and continue out towards Bush Highway. From the wash to the highway, that part of FR10 is really just a rarely-maintained road instead of a trail. Anything taller than a sports car can handle that as long as you're willing to go slow enough.
Other than that, the hardest climb by far is at 3:30, and that just relies on you keeping good momentum. Nothing here really requires much articulation.
IOwnCalculus Thanks for all the info, I think I'll try the trail from the north.
How do you know which trails to take? Seems like there are a lot of branches.
There are a lot of branches, but overall the trails there are actually very well marked. Vehicle travel is only allowed on a few marked routes, and the vast majority of the branches don't actually go anywhere. Nearly anywhere that really looks like it could be an alternate route will either have brown posts marked with the road number, or they'll put up signs marking them as closed.
The permit for Bulldog Canyon (free, just go here and email them: www.fs.usda.gov/detail/tonto/recreation/ohv/?cid=stelprdb5348179) includes a map of the allowed routes. The Wells book is also useful, as is any sort of GPS. If you pre-download the maps, Google Maps is actually good enough for most of it - three of the more popular routes are actually marked out on it as roads!
IOwnCalculus Thanks. Lots of great information. I have my pass already. I will download from google maps onto my iPad. Thanks again.
I posted a couple of videos myself and plan to post more. Search RUclips for Dennis goebelt.
