    Montreal Falls was really cool. Most people would never get a chance to see that without videos like this.

      Well worth the hike! Hopefully that quad trail gets wider down to it from the north side to allow more access

      It was a bit of hiking to get there but worth it! We love to see them - even if we have a hike! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

    I absolutely loved the way you narrated the journey through Michigan, weaving in all those historical points! The state’s rich history adds another layer of beauty to the stunning landscapes. From the old logging trails to the connection with the Great Lakes, it’s incredible how much history surrounds those UTV trails.
    I’m living in the West, near Nevada, where I’ve enjoyed exploring rugged landscapes by snowmobile. While our desert and mountain trails have their own unique charm, there’s something special about Michigan’s combination of lush forests, historic landmarks, and beautiful water features that’s hard to beat.
    The way you guys camped out overnight really made the trip feel like a full-on adventure! It’s a true testament to the incredible variety of outdoor beauty and experiences across the U.S., from Michigan's forests to the deserts of the West. This kind of exploration deepens my appreciation for how diverse and wonderful this country is. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring journey!
    P.S. I hail from Minnesota, and we used to camp out from our snowmobiles in temperatures as low as 5 below, with two chainsaws in tow! I also want to suggest adding a hammered Chinese wok to your cooking gear; the thinner metal heats up quickly and is fantastic for open fires. When we go on adventures, we take both an iron skillet and a Dutch oven for baking. Happy exploring!

      That is awesome! Thank you so much for watching! Love to hear others similar experiences too!

      Outstanding comment, probably my favorite because you get it….completely! It’s all about the adventure and I may be biased but the Upper Peninsula has a certain magic to it. It’s rare to find an area that is both beautiful and remote while also accessible. Thanks for following along and taking the time to watch. Comments like yours make it all worth it!

    Ha, my buddies and I were on a UTV backpack trip the may before last and found ourselves camping at Keystone bay.... we also found a jeep stuck in that exact mud hole on our way out, haha! We were fortunate enough to have it all to ourselves.

      It was a great spot and the trail leading to it was really fun! We did not expect to winch anyone out (outside of our own group) but we were glad to help out. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more!

    What a great trip! Well on the bright side the rain kept the dust down, lol. There’s definitely a lot to see in the area.

      Hey Dirty Jak! Yes, the dust was down for sure and it was amazing UP there. I'd like to go again and see even more. Honestly, we were surprised on how much ground we didn't cover in the area - we expected to see it all in the time we had. Anyhow, we will probably go again at some point! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

    Very cool video! Thanks for posting it. Haven't been to the UP in a few years. Looking to do the same type of trips again in the near future.

      I hope you get a change to get UP there! It's such a great place to ride. Thanks for taking the time to watch and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

      Yes, there wasn't much dust on this trip with the rain which is always good! Overall, the weather wasn't too bad - we've seen worse on our trips! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

      Thanks for being patient. Editing takes a while but it’s great to re-live the adventure. Glad you enjoyed it and there will be more to come. Thanks for watching!!

    Man I would love to tag along for one of this trips

    • @UTVBoondocker
      @UTVBoondocker  2 месяца назад

      We have talked about that but if you get more than 3 rigs and 6 people, it gets more difficult to find sites and keep track of everyone. This was the biggest group that we've had and it was challenging. If you plan a trip like this, which I would encourage, start with no more than 3 rigs and see how it goes. It is really fun if you're down for camping for days along with bathing in really cold water :).

    Any way you guys could share your route ? Not sure if you got the map saved.

    glad you enjoyed your trip.the truth is unfortunately the more of these videos get out showing our beautiful trail systems the more people flock here destroying our local spots and getting them shut down most people do not listen to rules or care about conservation.

    • @UTVBoondocker
      @UTVBoondocker  2 месяца назад +1

      Thanks for watching Jeff! Sadly, your point it true and unavoidable. In fact, on our trip another group of UTVs irritated a property owner and they closed their gates so we had to drive around an area which was unfortunate. The only thing we can do is promote respect and ask that others are respectful. For those that are - we appreciate you all!

    How many miles total did u do?

    • @UTVBoondocker
      @UTVBoondocker  3 месяца назад

      Roughly 245 miles traveled during this trip. Typically, we travel more but there was more technical trails than we thought and we spend a little more time enjoying the sites. Thanks for watching!

  • @gearjunkie3412
    @gearjunkie3412 3 месяца назад

    Could you stay in hotels instead of camping. Or is the trail too remote?

    • @UTVBoondocker
      @UTVBoondocker  3 месяца назад

      Absolutely! There are plenty of places to shack up while riding. The place we dropped at had rooms and UTV rentals available too. We prefer to camp as we go so we can explore as much as possible and the food….i love camp food!!! Thanks for watching!
