I’d say probably 5 years or so ago I did that trail with a stock 2017 Chevy Colorado 4x4 .
Was nerve wrecking and I had not expected the trail to be as it is but we made it.
Nice Bronco!
Thanks so much! This is a great little fun trail. We have done it with the Bronco and with our previous rig, which was a Colorado Bison.
Unfortunately, the forest service has graded the whole trail, so it is a lot easier now. Still would be a great place to camp!
Great video and thanks for pointing out the camp spots, good job handling the trail
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. It is such a fun trail. Couldn’t pass up doing it considering I was in Greensboro with my daughter for a soccer tourney. That’s why I couldn’t go to MOORE.
By far the best video out on Hurricane Creek and you guys done an awesome job navigating some of those rough areas. Excellent video my friend !!!
Oh man, I really appreciate your comments, Frank. It was great having my daughter with me to help capture video from outside of the rig. This trail has changed. It seems more washed out I spots, which makes it a little more challenging.
@@FiveAngelsOutdoor That’s definitely good to know because my wife and I are going in June to do it. And on another note, we went to Sarah’s Creek this past Saturday and the road at the top after you cross the stream is washed out bad and now impassable for vehicles such as ours, my XJ sets on 8” of lift with 35’s and OX lockers with 4.88 gears front and rear and I wasn’t going to attempt it. It was nice to hear you speak of people doing things on these trails that they shouldn’t be doing because it ruins it for everyone else. Again great job on this video for sure my friend by you and your daughter!!!!
Too bad about Sarah’s Creek. So many nice campsites after that creek crossing. You will have fun at Hurricane when you go!!!
Another great vid! What state are you based out of?
We are in Florida, but we love adventuring north. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Great video sir! Love Hurricane Creek and Max Patch!
Thank Bud!!! Was a little more challenging than the last time. Definitely more washed out.
🙌 sick!!!!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!! It sure is a great trail. So much fun.
I might be going to Hurricane Creek in July.
It is such a great trail!!!! Super cool. It is fun with a couple challenging spots.
Thanks for the video. Subscribed! From your videos, it appears we may live in the same region. I'm near Hendersonville, NC. My wife and I are always looking for exploring buddies. If you're close enough, contact us sometime. Anyway, I've done Hurricane several times and your video has me wanting to go again! I'd love camping out on the trail, but concerned of doing it alone. Happy Trails, Tony
Thanks for watching!!! This was our second time there, and it definitely has changed a bit. I have yet to camp there, either, but will have to some day!
After doing Hurricane creek in my stock 2001 Mitsubishi Monteroa month ago with out getting stuck, this bronco should eat this up like baby food.
Thanks for watching! It sure did and we had a ton of fun!!!!
Too funny we hit Hurricane Creek the same day at 1pm and when we went up to Max Patch roughly around 3:30 it was completely fogged in and misty rain. Ended up leaving there and going over to Old Buzzard Roost Rd.
Wow!! The weather really changes. It was beautiful when we got up there except for a little wind 😀 It sure was a great time.
Nice video.
Thanks for watching and commenting! We had a great time!!!
the first camp spot...would you say you could bring a Intech off road camp trailer there with no issues? or can you go farther to another spot?
Seems those trailers aren’t too big. The trail can be tight in some places, but the good news (or bad) is that the forest service recently graded the road, which makes it easier to navigate and removes all of the obstacles.
I think you could make it in.
What happened at the big obstacle between the “rock/tree” and the muddy ruts near the end ? We took some vintage vehicles on the trip and got hung up on the one you didn’t include in the video.
Yeah. A little bit of a brain fart. We made it through fine, my daughter spotted for me again, but I forgot to set up my tripod 😞 Was sort of bummed, but I was focusing on the trail. I had to run my passenger tire right along that edge, so that I didn’t run too high up the wall on the drivers side.
@@FiveAngelsOutdoor yeah we did it a couple months back in some vintage Scouts and flat fender jeeps. My video is on my channel at “Vintage Overlanding” I had the scout on two wheels on that one. It was crazy
😳 yikes! Will have to check it out!
About to bring my f150 raptor there next week! Hopefully not to many close by scrubs
You will have fun!! Not too many tight spots, but a spotter would be nice for a couple of those obstacles/washouts.
Real nice rig! I’d have to sell both my kidneys to afford it. Guess I’ll stick with my lifted ‘04 diesel Excursion until I win the lotto! 😂 Seriously, looks like a lot of fun and that Bronco ate up the trails.
Thanks so much! It is a fun rig, and we have definitely made it our own.
My sister has an 01 Diesel Excursion. That is a tank, will never die, and she could sell it today for more than she bought it!!!
Have fun and get out there! I think your rig would be a little tight on this trail, though 😀😀😀
Do you think a power wagon will fit down the trail. We will be in the area in a few weeks. Putting 37s on it Friday
I have seen others that size make it through. Have a spotter with you or another rig, because there are a couple of spots where another set of eyes are pretty crucial.
Have a great time!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the video! How did you mount your pelican case to the side trailrax? I'm thinking to do the same but struggling to find a plug and play solution and worried about drilling and water and also don't want everything to fall out of it when I open it. Any insights you're willing to share on that mod I would appreciate it. Thank You.
I have the PaxRax and I used the cross plate to mount the case. I drilled holes through the back of the case and passed a bolt through. I used rubber washers and it is still water proof. Worked out real well and pretty sturdy.
What was the total time it took to get from one end to the other?
Less than three hours for the trail itself. Depends on how much you stop and a larger group could hold things up a bit. If you go up to Max Patch, then that adds 30-60 minutes and then you would have to add hiking time.
How wide is the Bronco?
Just a little over 7’ wide (85.7”)
@@FiveAngelsOutdoor This is priceless information my friend, my son wants to take his yj with me to do hurricane creek and it’s had some major work done for off-road purposes and knowing the width of what we have to work with before going is very important. You have been a great deal of help for us both and we appreciate it so much, thanks again my friend and keep the great videos coming!!! 👍😁
@@StandAloneAdventuresa YJ will have absolutely no problems. I've done hurricane creek twice myself and I'm in a JLU (moderately modified). A YJ is quite a bit narrower than a JL so unless you have super wide axles, you're fine.
Wealthy folks and their expensive play. toys. I plan on trying to do hurricane creek when I trade in my Colorado trail boss on a Colorado zr2.
It ia insane that folks pay close to 100 to 110k for a a vehicle so they can take it off roading on trails like hurricane creek.
The last time I did this trail in September 2022 I did it in my Chevy Colorado ZR2 AEV Bison. It was fun back then, but the trail has changed a bit.
The point of buying the rig is using it!!! 😀 No point of having one to use as pavement process or mall crawler.
so is it too wide?
Nope!!! A little scratchy in a couple of spots, but that’s why I wrapped it. Made it through like a champ!
The Red Beast Wagon fit pretty easily down through there a few weeks ago with some minor pinstripes. I am most likely wider than the Bronco Raptor. I measure out at 84” wide from outside tire to outside tire…
