ATV Trail Ride: Old Deserted Mountain Road - Magdalena Mountains, New Mexico
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Our trail ride begins at the Water Canyon Campground in the Magdalena Mountains. We stage our vehicles there before heading up to forest road 39 (according to Gaia Gps) which is about a mile from the campground. The track enters a dried stream bed that runs seasonable (plan accordingly) and follows a canyon a couple miles up to an old cabin (see coordinates below) most likely used by miners. We continue to head up the trail which soon becomes more of a challenge with grades exceeding 14 percent, narrow cliffside hazards, and off-camber challenges to a mineshaft (see coordinates below). At this point, I decided to call it and hopped into my buddy's SXS to complete the final switchbacks up to the summit for a breathtaking view and drone flight!
This trail is seriously beautiful! I would highly recommend only small jeeps to attempt the narrow track and of course ATVs, UTVs, or SXS can travel.
*********If you travel this trail be advised! The video doesn't give this trail enough credit just to how steep and narrow the upper half of this trail is. If you travel based on the information provided, I will not be held accountable for any accidents.*********
Enjoy and drive safe!

Another amazing ride! Brand new to the ATV scene, but I've already made up my mind that my first ride is gonna be in New Mexico. Thanks for bringing us along!
Welcome to the ATV club. I can still remember my first day of getting into ATV riding and then my first ATV camping experience. It is so much fun! New Mexico is a great state to explore and ride. We have so much public land and camping opportunities. Have a good weekend and thanks for watching buddy.
This ride is on my list. Looks like a ton of riding. High mountains too deserts. Probably stay at water canyon campground. Thanks again for blazing another trail for me.
You'll love this trail. And if you like your blood pumping a little bit, the last section of the trail will give you a boost lol. It is steep and narrow along that edge. But the view and history was super worth it. Thanks for watching and all your support.
Cool trail thanks for taking us along. Nice deer with the drone.
It was a super fun trip up there. The view was really cool. Every time I fly my drone I wonder if I am going to catch any wildlife and this was my first capture. It was awesome! Thanks for watching 👍.
I thought you and Pete were doing some significant climbing. And you guys confirmed it with the drone flight. Very cool!.
This ride was creepy toward the top section. But overall a great ride and view. Thanks for watching.
Nice video. I live in texas but I come from Los lines. Such a beautiful place. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! New Mexico is a pretty state with some great outdoor areas. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Looks like one heck of a ride. Great video.
It was a great ride. Thanks for your support. Take care.
Beautiful place nice view thank you for sharing new friend with love and support
Thanks for visiting and subscribing to my channel. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Hey, beautiful place and great video, take care my friend 😊
Thanks for visiting. Its and awesome place to visit.
what a cool ride nice of him to show you a new place hip hip!!!
This was a cool section of the mountain and the views were super cool! It was cool to meet up with someone on RUclips and head outdoors.
Great video
I am glad you enjoyed it. The Magdalena Mountains are beautiful! I never knew this trail was next to Water Canyon.
Stay safe while on your way that place is cool 👍 for you
Thank for watching. I'll be safe, you as well. It is a beautiful place to visit.
Dude awesome video, nice drone footage!
I am glad you enjoyed it my friend. Magdalena is pretty awesome up there. I will have to admit it was on my top favorite places to fly my drone.
Super beautiful place, nice video. Thanks for posting the clip.
It was a beautiful place. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Great video.Enjoyed it very much.Looking forward for more.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I have more to come in the near future.
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures great thank you
Another great video. I’m glad you got out and had a nice time. I always appreciate you keeping yourself safe and making great calls when you are uncomfortable with the situation.
I had a awesome time, despite my troubling issues with being near edges. Knowing your limits is what keeps people safe. The Magdalena Mountains is beautiful and rugged.
That looks like a really great trail, but the steep hills are just really steep. Cool that you got a shot of that deer with your drone, it have probably never seen anything like that before.
I was surprised to see that deer in the footage when I went home and played it on a bigger screen. I had no idea it was there and that I caught it. This is a beautiful trail, just very steep. Thanks for watching my friend.
Beautiful looking drive my friend! Those views from the top were great brother! Could see far into the distance from that view! Looked like a good time out with the ATV’s brother!
It was an awesome drive up there brother. Being up near 10,000ft has its advantages because we are way higher than anything around so we are able to see as far as the eye could see. Thanks for watching👍.
Thats quite an adventure!! Worried when you were going downhill...
That down hill was super steep and climbing it had it's own adventure. I appreciate your watching and commenting. Take care.
How cool is that, having a YT buddy show guide you into that area.
It was really cool to meet with a local follower and hit a trail with him. He was a great guide to this area.
I have a backpacking trip planned with another follower next month. It’s great to build friendships with these guys.
Thanks for watching buddy.

I use to do rides like that years ago with a Grizzly in Nevada and Arizona. Great sites and coming across old mines and structures is way cool.
I had a blast stumbling checking out the mine that was up there. You can't help but think about the people who used to head into the mountain to work or who deep in it actually goes. I would love to ride out in Arizona and Nevada. Thanks for watching my friend.
Awesome trail! Excellent video! Loved it! Thanx Pete!
5:46 - Whoooooaaaaa! That was close!
10:00 - I love finding those old buildings and imagining what the history might have been like for them. Maybe it was a hideout for some stagecoach robbers? LOL
That was quite the climb starting around the 11:30 mark!
13:00 - awesome view!
Cool drone footage from the top!
What psi do you normally keep in your tires? I like mine around 4 psi.
This was a fantastic trail and a bit gutsy the last quarter of the trail up. Cameras never capture the steepness or annngle, lol I can here you saying angle in my head haha.
This mountain range is rich in mining history so I strongly believe the homestead belonged to the miners who used it to camp at and then head up from there to the shaft higher up in the mountains. Or for stagecoach robbers.
Because this is a new Can Am I didn’t even adjust the air pressure from the get go once I brought it home, which I should have right away. But tend to keep about 5 psi in my tires. It rides much more comfortable.
I loved the drone shots from there. It was awesome to have a look around. I am thinking about heading up the same mountain range tomorrow morning to a different summit where a big research center is. I have a handful of chores I need to knock out first before I can commit to first.
Thanks for watching buddy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Another good video Rueben! 👍🏼 Question; do you have bugs like mosquitoes or biting flies there? And are there lots of snakes? Thanks buddy.
To answer your question, we do have mosquitoes and biting flies, but they were not a problem on this trip and I think it was primarily due to how dry its been in New Mexico. So I guess to best answer your question it depends on the season. As for snakes yes we do have snakes in the lower region of the mountain. Most likely it will be a bull snake, however I would not rule out a rattlesnake until you get about the 7500ft mark and above.
Thanks for watching! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks to the RUclips algorithum, I saw your vids! 22 XP Pro
Welcome! I am glad to know the algorithm is still circulating my videos. I appreciate you watching man.
like it!
Thanks, I appreciate you watching.
Awesome trail I would love getting out there, Question? did I see a Bobcat walking on the roof of the building where you and Pete stopped to look at the old building at about the 10:17 min. I had spotted it when you first posted this ride but I had a problem with google and couldnt comment to any posts until it was fixed. Great ride.
No it was a few cows hanging out just behind the cabin. It’s a great place to check out. The whole trail is an old miner road/forest service road that is no longer maintained. Thanks for watching. I am glad you got it all sorted out and can once again post.
👍🏽
Thanks for watching.
Rain might have been caused by topographic lifting. Air is forced over a mountain, cools, condenses and rains
You are exactly right. It always amazes me how fast weather can change in the mountains. Thanks for watching.
Was that a deer or a cow walking behind that old building? Looked like a deer but hard to tell.
That was a cow walking behind the building.
Hill got a little hairy.
This was a sketchy ride on the last 1/3rd of the trail. It is an abandoned trail that will be grown over or a rock slide will shut it down in the future, unless people work to keep it going. But the camera didn't capture how step it was at all, which you know that as well filming videos for your channel.
I was excited for this video man you got some good drone footage nice ride we're going to have to go explore some new trails soon
The drone footage was super cool! I had an awesome day out there and I appreciate you organizing the trip up there. We will have to hit a new area soon. Good stuff bro.
