    Are you thinking about driving the famous Pott's Mountain Jeep Trail? Do your skill level and vehicle capabilities line up for a great or disastrous day on the trail? Check out our trip on a very wet day on this famous offroad trail in Virginia. We take an LJ on 39s. and JL on 37s over the famed obstacles named Rocker Knocker, The Ledge, The Rock Slabs, and Poser Rock. We were all wet and muddy, but we finished unscathed!

    Potts mountain is a blast. A lot of bear hunters use it during the winter keep that in mind. It’s fun to duel sport and a stock Jeep can make it but you will not be able to do all the obstacles but you will have fun. The summer is the driest but rattlesnakes are everywhere. Great trail we ride it a lot being 15 minutes from the house

    I was kind of pissed off the main road that isn't supposed to be a Jeep trail was about as bad. I hadn't been up there in years, and you could easily drive through. I was hitting deep mud holes the whole way and was in a Jetta. I made it through to Potts Creek, but the whole time I thought I was going to get stuck, and nowhere to turn around to go back.

    • @Trailsoffroad
      @Trailsoffroad  11 месяцев назад +2

      That definitely sounds like not the kind of day trip you'd be expecting to have in a Jetta! Although Potts Jeep Trail is definitely the hardest in the area we absolutely also found some decent mud holes on some of the nearby tracks that could swallow up a tire easily.

    Great video!! This was a great trail...and free!! Did it as part of an 'East coast badged trail loop', it was perfectly positioned between Peter's Mill and Bearwallow. Why Peter's mill is badged and Potts Mt. isn't is a mystery! 35", locked in the front, and winched 3 times (also a wet day), this is a true Jeep trail. Did the whole loop as a solo vehicle which is NOT recommended, but it was a bucket list trip and i'm old, soooooo...

    • @Trailsoffroad
      @Trailsoffroad  Год назад +1

      We completely agree! Potts was one of our favorites when we were mapping Virginia. It is a true Jeep trail and should definitely be a Badge of Honor! If you took any pics, head on over to the website or apps and leave a trail review. We would love to see them!

    You all missed the best part of the trail. The stacks ! The best view off the mountain on a stacked rock cliff.

    • @Trailsoffroad
      @Trailsoffroad  Год назад

      It was our impression that The Stacks was the mandatory hardest obstacle along the trail (the one with the illegal bypass), but it sounds like that may be incorrect. Whereabouts are The Stacks you are talking about? That was our first time on the trail and we had to take a few educated guesses on the name of each section.

    • @ChrisElmore-vc7bj
      @ChrisElmore-vc7bj Год назад

      They are around the halfway point near the open fields. A small hike through the woods from there and then your standing on rock cliffs with some of the best views@@Trailsoffroad

    ハッキリとはしないですが、一般的な乗用車のの中で世界中でオールマイティーに使える車の中では、もしかしてJeep が最強の車ではないのでしょうか?雪道では軽いジムニーシエラの様な気もしますが・・・

      ジミーには目的があり、素晴らしい乗り物です。ジープははるかに大きく、より大きな障害物を処理し、より多くのギアを運ぶことができます。
