- A group of NOVA Jeepers ran Uwharrie's Daniel (Jeep Badge of Honor Trail), Dickey Bell, Dutch John and a number of other trails over the Memorial Day Weekend. We have a Jeep CJ7, JKU, JK, and a gas and diesel Gladiator on the trip. Fantastic weekend of Off-roading and camping!
I can't remember if I saw you that weekend, but I was out with a group that same weekend, I was in the red early bronco (1970), also camped at Arrowhead. We also did dickey bell in the rain, it was interesting but got everyone up and back down it and back side of daniel. Always a good time at uwharrie!
I remember seeing your rig at the campground but I do not think we came across your group on the trail. We really enjoyed our first trip to Uwharrie and will definitely do it again! Thanks for watching!
The CJ and 2dr JK did pretty well on the.middle path of Dickie Bell, these are the least lifted vehicles I’ve ever seen go up that line.
Both did really well and had experienced drivers, both are running 35" tires.
How much lift and what size tires do you have on your JT.?
I am running a 3.5" lift with 37" tires. Thanks for watching!
What tires were your running?
They are Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 37X13.50 on 17 inch wheels. They are my second set and have worked really well for me. Thanks for watching!
@20:50 wheres the corrds to this spot? or at least a trail number? please.
That is three path hill on trail 390 (Daniel). Thanks for watching!
How would you rate the trails compared to Union Springs to Flagpole? I assume Daniel is harder, but Dickey and the others?
I would say that Daniel is far more difficult but Dickey Bell and the Dutch John trails are more difficult and more enjoyable. The rest of the trails are similar to Union Springs. Thanks for watching!
@@bluox Is there any chance you could make a numbered list of the trails from easiest to hardest? I mainly ask because me and my fiance went to uwharrie spontaneously on a 700cc adv bike (doubled up), the first trail we tried was entering the rocky mountain loop from near the duch John trailhead where the trail crosses Dutch John road, we faced some fun hills and turns for a minute, then we did a very rocky hill climb and figured we should turn around in case we get in over our heads, but we would love to try some easier trails (also, the rules were a bit vague on if we were allowed to ride double on a bike, my bike is plated and designed for passenger, some signs said that double on bikes is against the rules, and some said "no passengers unless vehicle is designed for it")
It is difficult for me to gauge difficulty for a two passenger bike but I would say that the new Lake View Trail (60) would be an excellent trail for you. We did not go on that but I have seen multiple videos on it and it seems to be a scenic ride with some hills and of course any rain changes everything. Wolf Den (89) is the only trail marked as easy but Slab Pile (79), Rocky Mtn Loop (92), Sawmill (93), and Falls Dam (96) are marked as moderate and should be good trails for your purpose. Daniel (390), Kickey Bell (91) and Duty John (90) are listed as not recommended for ATV, UTV, Dirt Bike, or beginners. Thanks for watching!
@@bluox That's more info than what I had before stopping by there haha, so, much appreciated brother. For further context, I have a decent history of offroad riding, and have done so with passengers, but my fiance scares easily at the feeling of instability when rocks shift and such, a feeling that someone like us understands is just part of the experience. She got scared and I didn't want her panicking and shifting her weight in an unfavorable manner. She has no history of off-road riding, but plenty street riding, so I'm showing her a whole new world basically.
@@td7122 That makes perfect sense. Did you stop by the Outpost and pick up one of the free paper maps? It makes it a little easier to plan a route.
