I feel the route is best experienced when done in a counter clockwise direction, starting North of Hinton at the Pony Bridge. It's a nice build up that caps off with a nice climb up Purgatory :) Sugar Creek Loop (and all the other Oklahoma Backroad Exploration Routes) are my first recommendation for folks new to wheeling and overlanding. OKC Overland just hosted a small group ride through the route and plan on doing more in the near future.
I often drive between Minco Binger on 152, and the land suddenly changes and will catch you by surprise in that area. A few miles west of Cogar, there is a campground called Salyer Lake. There is a spring fed Lake at the base of a red rock.
i’ve grown up in minco and cogar my whole life. just bought me a tacoma and am looking for some overlanding little did i know it was right in front of my face! thanks for the vid
Great video. Of all the solo trips I’ve taken, there’s always that moment when I stop and ask myself….should I? Haha. I answer of course about 40ish percent of the time. Haha. 🤙🏼
Michael, sure feels good to see you out and creating content. I enjoy the content. P.s. let’s fix the squeaking noise, even Mark Doiron don’t have them, but he does have raffles.
You’re in my neck of the woods where you said it was a great spot to take a photo of your vehicle. That road used to be dirt. Was really disappointed when they traveled it a couple of years ago. That pond is called Uncle Dans
Purgatory rd is best after the dozer hits it a few days after the rain. Looks like you hit it the day after the big thunder storms. We hit it the Saturday of tge storm before it hit with a 2 wd 1500 and a frontier like yours and scraped down that spot up to your knee. Scraped bumpers to.
This is "Epic"? Seriously? I'm thinking about getting into overlanding for views and adventure. I sure hope there is way more to it than this video showed.

Great advise, thanks! Climbing up Purgatory would be way more doable for most people.

I can’t find it! I need you to look at it.

Purgatory Rd looks cool!
It’s a great spot.
