- The Barracks Trail - Part 1| Kanab, UT
This was such an awesome way to spend a day and an absolute must! The scenery is epic. I was having trouble getting the DJI Mavic Pro 2 to follow me otherwise I would have gotten more drone footage but it just wouldn't cooperate.
The Barracks Trail is a 23 mile trail that crosses the Virgin River over 20+ times and plan on taking you pretty much most of the day to run. You can run it North to South like we did, starting at Kanab, UT or South to North starting at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes.
If you're like me, you've watched a lot of videos on this trail and you'll have to take my word that the Sand Hill is no joke. We ran this trail in late January 2022 and I was hoping the sand would be a bit wetter and packed down but it wasn't. It was very deep, loose sand and incredibly steep so as it would be very difficult to walk up it. Get as much run way as you can at the bottom and just SEND IT. Pedal to the metal on this one and take the bypass to the right.
There's a few fun rocky climbs and the river crossings are a blast, but overall, the trail was super fun and fairly moderate. I can't wait to do it again.
All the best,
Todd

Nice!!! We just got back from Utah and we did this trail + a few others including Smokey Mountain Road. I will also be putting out a video on our adventure through Utah.
That is awesome. We had such a blast doing this trail. I can't wait to do it again!
Knowing how clean you are how can you drive this dirty jeep. Keep it up, fun stuff. Nice river crossing, scary if you get stuck
You are so right about that. I have to clean it immediately pretty much or it will drive me crazy.
Nice video! And you made it all look so easy.
Glad you liked it!
Nice!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback.
You should do a bike check that would be cool
Thanks for the comment. By bike check, are you asking for a video overview on my Santa Cruz Megatower? Wasn't sure what you mean. Thanks!
@@ToddMitchellpro356ADV yes 🙌
Got it. That's a good idea. I'll try and bust that out, I really do love my mtb. I put about 1,000 miles on it last year but this year is off to an incredibly bad start so far, LOL.
What about doing the trail backwards so that you go down the sand hill?
That's a great idea. The only reason I did not go that way is because it was January and I was worried about the water level being too high for the 20+ creek crossings and possibly not being able to cross and having to turn around and go back up the sand hill. In the summer months or a not too wet year, reverse is probably the best plan.
I got negative history on the hill too
LOL, you're right, that's not a hill to take lightly. We'll get it on the first shot next time. What an awesome trail though.
