Oh wow! Thank you so much for the comment and for your encouraging words! It’s comments like this that keep me going! And wanting to make more content. I do this just for the joy/fun of it, so hearing from a viewer/subscriber like you is really awesome! Reach out anytime! Thanks again! 😀😀😀😀
Great video brother. I did the trail today, but turned around at the rock where you said to use 4x4. Didn't feel comfortable going up it, especially with an topper attached to it... I think I would've been fine, but something said another day. Great video!!
Hey Ryan! So awesome to hear from you. Ya, that spot is a little sketchy. The video really doesn’t show how steep it is. What an amazing trail that is. I wish I was out there again right now! 😃 Thanks for reaching out!
Awesome! I’m a complete newbie and have rented a Rubicon-think I could get to the steep part and then turn around to avoid any climbing/sand? Or is it a loop and I shouldn’t turn around? If I can turn around, is the scenery worth it to just do that first part? I’ll have a couple guys with me but they’re also newbies. Thanks!
Hi 👋 yes, totally worth it to just do the first part and turn back before that steep climb. 😃 The scenery of next level, and through that first part there are some great places to stop for a snack/picnic style lunch. Thank you for watching and for your comment! I really appreciate it! 😀
Gonna make this a bucket item. Another one is the Mojave Trail over about 4 days. Maybe next year if I can find a group. As always, thanks again for another wonderful video.
Ya, that sand was sketchy for sure! Luckily, that loop is fairly well traveled. Even some side-by-side and quad tours that go through that area, so if I got stuck, I wasn’t afraid of injury related to heat.
Another great video. Trail seems overall tame with the exception of some sandy spots. Do you think an Outback Wilderness edition can tackle this trail?
Hi 👋🏼 thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!! 🙌🏻 I would think so, yes. The sandy parts would be my only concern, but some of those would be optional. Make sure: 1) if it’s hot out bring tons of water in case you do get stuck you have ample H2O and 2) keep up your speed and deflate your tires appropriately for the sand. 😃👊🏼
I think the main thing I would be cautious of is the sand section. First question would be: what kind of tires do you have? Are you used to airing down? Any chance you can message me on Instagram so I can chat back-and-forth with you to get you the very best recommendation?
Hey Robert! Well, when I was out there, I wasn’t prepared to air down, because I didn’t have my CO2 tank with me. So, I was at 30-35 PSI believe it or not. I wasn’t completely planning on getting into the dunes, but there was a hill I came over and BOOM, I was in the dunes. Pretty much a point of no return - from there I had to manage making it through the dunes by keeping my speed up and not stopping. The sand was really hot, and it got super soft at that point. In hindsight, that element of my trip was not so smart (full PSI on hot sand), but sometimes you get in a tight spot. Gotta keep your cool and power thru as safe as possible. Thanks for reaching out. Let me know if you have any other Q’s.
Oh! Right on! Ya, it’s such a great trail system! You should get out there for sure! And just be extra cautious of heat and the potential to get stuck in the sand. 👊🏼😀
Excellent video! We are heading to that trail next month and this was a great preview. Appreciated the directions on how to actually find the trail which you rarely see in these trail videos. Looks like you have a capable rig. Are those 35 inch tires on a 2 inch lift?
Hi Michael! Yes 35” tires and a 2.5” lift. Thanks for the kind words. Let me know if you want the GPX file and I’d be happy to share with you! Comments like yours make making these videos so worth it! Thanks for reaching out and have a great trip!
@@alamogiftshop Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Can you find me on Instagram and message me direct there? That way I can get your email address to send the GPX.
Great video, music, and narration! This is just a suggestion, but if you can avoid it, never solo in the desert, especially mid summer. I have saved many unprepared people in the desert. Disoriented, dehydrated, and lost because they had to abandon their vehicles due to breakdowns or getting stuck.
Yep, totally agree. I was prepared for everything but the softness of the sand. That day I really put the ‘newbie’ in TrailNewbie. Thank you for reaching out, and 💯 with you on this one!! 👊🏼
Hi! From the staging area, I think I spent about 3.5 hours out there, maybe 4. But, keep in mind, I was stopping to film and fly my drone. So, it could be done much quicker. Regarding gas, I went with a full tank, always recommend that if you’re ever headed out into extreme heat. The burn on gas was probably only around 1/4 tank or less. But the drive from Vegas is about 50 minutes each way, so go prepared always. Main point to think about out there is heat, bringing tons of water, and being sure you know how to navigate in soft sand for the dunes section. Bring some traction boards possibly, and be able to air down/up if needed as that will help in the sand for sure! 😃 🌵
@@TrailNewbie Your super nice, thank you. I just purchased a 2022 Range Rover Defender 90. I hate to ask your opinion, but its stock out of the dealer with the 22" wheel option. Recommend upgrading tires etc or just take it out. It is a $120,000 truck. I would imagine I can just hit the outback as is? as well my biggest concern is driving somewhere im not allowed to drive with a vehicle. It seems to very hard to actually pinpoint on a map the start of the trail. Im going to try to find someone through RUclips that I can maybe go with a first time, but I might venture out myself. I live in Red Rock canyon so its a straight shot from me to this park I believe.
@@ARTTOnline Hi! All good, here to help. With the 22” wheels, I would mainly be concerned that the tires that came with are somewhat low profile - and therefore even a moderate trail might damage the wheels (rims). Maybe find me on Instagram and message me there? I can tell you more about some good apps so you can find where to go and not go in terms of public lands, state parks, national forests, etc. 😃
The broadway play Rent. The play is called Rent. I can’t necessarily recommend it as many love it, many hate it … for me, I really just enjoyed the song that I refer to in the video. I think the play came out in the late 1990’s and it was very progressive for its time. Thematically, I can’t necessarily recommend it as anything that would be content appropriate for all ages. I hope this answers your question! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
AHAHHAHAHA, well, truth is I’ll be back out there in July! But, not entirely sure I can stop yapping! HAHH unfortunately I’m the yapping Chihuahua of RUclips Overlanding! 🐕 Maybe I should rename the channel that? 😂 Thanks for watching and for the comment! I really appreciate it!🙌🏼🙏🏼👊🏼😃
Hahahahahha, essentially …. I can’t disagree. 🤣 But, if it’s any consequence, I’ve legit never seen Rent. But I did like the idea of that specific song. 👊🏼😃 Thanks for the comment, and for watching! 🙌🏼👏🏼
This is the 3rd video i have watched of your adventures - I am inspired by your deep comments on getting out of the norm. Thank you

Thanks! Ya, it’s definitely a spot you’ve got to see! I haven’t done the Mojave Trail, but that is on my list likely to hit next year! 😀
Wow...great video! I've past by these area countless time and had no idea theres overlanding trails out there. Thanks for the infos
You got it Mike! Glad you liked. Ya - this spot is so cool. Worth the stop for sure! 😀
Great coverage on the petroglyphs! Glad you booked it through them sketchy sand.

Hello! I have a ‘22 4runner trd off road and it’s stock, do you think my 4runner can make this trail? I hope you notice, thanks!

Did you start off where the vault toilets are at?
Yes indeed! 😄
We’re headed there in about 2 weeks.
Right on! Get out there! 😃😃
Your story telling skills won! Congratulations on another subscriber 😂

Thanks Raul! Appreciate it! I hope that Logandale is a place you can check out sometime. 👊🏼
@@TrailNewbie I hope so as well. 👍
Great work. Thanks. I'm there.

Maybe you said it in the video but how many miles is that Loop ?

Another fantastic video! 🙌🏼
P.S. I can’t relate to losing in a casino 👀🤣 #winnersonly
AHAHAHAH, ya, I've never lost a dime in a casino. RIGHT!!! Gotta get back out on the trail with you guys again soon!
😢 That was deep Bro.
Glad you liked it 🙂 that spot is so awesome.

OMG. I was enjoying this until you starting quoting lyrics from "Rent." Immediate cringe/douche chills. 😂😂😂

@@TrailNewbie It didn't stop me from watching your entire video. And now I want to rent a Jeep and drive (some of) those trails.
