Baby first Off-Roading Trail - Black Mountain Trail Idyllwild - Easy Off-Roading Trail in SoCal

[@2-old-Forthischet]

One of the great joys of life, being a parent.

[@Michael_Tran]

I agree...it's hard at the moment but I know that it will go by so fast. Im just hanging on for the ride.

[@BlueTacomaAndrew]

that was awesome man glad to see you guys out there with the little one enjoying nature and living life. I love taking my boys out to explore and hit the trails

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks man...im looking forward to bringing him out more and more. He definitely loves being outside.

[@Libertatem_Vel_Mortem]

Good on ya for bring yer baby wheelin on an easy trail. Just gotta have a parent watch the 'lil squirt over any bumps. Gotta remember their necks aren't that strong yet. Happy wheelin'!😊

[@Michael_Tran]

We want him to get use to being outside...he's now 6 months so bumping along easy dirt trail is not too bad for him..but Im cautious now of really big whoops

[@DuanDao]

Congrats on the new baby. They change your perspective on life for sure

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you...it definitely has it challenges but also it's blessing. Can't wait to show him more of what we love to do.

[@DuanDao]

@@Michael_Tran lol after our 3rd off-roading became a bit of a challenge. I take 3 max on trips now

[@Michael_Tran]

@@DuanDao Oh man...I can't imagine 3 kids. We're having trouble with one haha...but it's getting better day by day

[@DuanDao]

@ enjoy every minute of it. They grow up so fast. My youngest is 14 so fast man

[@Woodsyexplores]

Great video. I volunteer at the Black Mountain Fire Outlook. It is across Boulder Basin Campground. You will need to come when the Outlook is open for the season. It is amazing.

[@Michael_Tran]

Oh really? I must've missed it then...thanks for your volunteer! I have an excuse to come back now.

[@dutchdaddy2]

You're little midget cricket is too darn cute!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ernestchavez814]

looks great man!!

[@martin_b1628]

Great video. I think your baby will feel better when they can look out the window....a few more years. Keep taking the baby on your trips !

[@Michael_Tran]

Thank you...he definitely loves the outdoor but hate the car seat. I can see once he's a bit older he will enjoy it more

[@droptopp3479]

When it snows, Idyllwild is a great place to visit. Hoped you stopped by at lake fulmor, its a small beautiful lake to picnic and even fish when they stock trout

[@Michael_Tran]

We want to go back when there's snow...I've been there once when there was just small patches of snow. But hopefully we get some good rain this winter and see the local mountains full of snow like last year.

[@nathanhood6378]

Good Video! My kids loved black mountain trail, we camped up at the top then drove to the river crossing on Bee Canyon Trail the next day. Fun late summer trip!

[@Michael_Tran]

That sounds like the perfect weekend...I honestly love that more than some crazy challenging trail. For us it's just to be outside enjoying nature is what we love.

[@4122inc]

That makes me want to hit up the Bee Canyon to Idyllwild trail! Baby is very cute!

[@Michael_Tran]

I need to go back on that trail bro...hopefully we can do some snow wheeling again this year. He's so adorable right now.

[@montyjcm]

Funny was planning to go up there tomorrow (first time). Good timing for a video 🎉

[@Michael_Tran]

Nice! Glad this video is helpful...honestly it's a great beginner trail.

[@montyjcm]

@ yeah it was a nice easy trail. 2wd definitely but I would definitely want some clearance with all those holes.

[@daleboyish]

Needs work. Want to see more of the trail and mountain views!

[@Michael_Tran]

With a baby it's harder to get out to film a lot of the sceneries as he constantly need to be hold but it's a beautiful trail

[@rideryou8707]

Hey Micheal do you do wheelin group rides, how can I join you on an outing??

[@rideryou8707]

Hi Michael, how can I do some wheelin with you. I’m in Orange county 👍

[@YuhboyJacob]

With the weather right now do you think a 2wd with good clearance and AT tires can clear most of that trail? And is your Tacoma 2 or 4wd?

[@Michael_Tran]

I think so...honeslty the last section is the only area I saw a need for 4x4...2wd should be fine with most of the trail.

[@M12Loon]

Michael, what app are you using for the maps of the trail?

[@Michael_Tran]

I've use a few different ones to cross reference to see...but overall Gaia gps is my go to for when on the trail.

[@stacky512a]

Do you know the condition of the trail beyond where you turned around?

[@Michael_Tran]

From what I've saw on KZbin...it's more rutted but not bad if you have 4x4...then again condition is always changing.

[@Beattheroutine]

Some parts are really bad in that loop, we needed to turn around. There was also a fallen tree on the trail. The tower is a small hike away off the trail.

[@stacky512a]

@@Michael_Tran when i used the boulder up there several years ago, it was passenger car friendly. A little slow at times, but regularly accessible.

[@cesarvilla1422]

will a stock subaru make this trail ?

[@Michael_Tran]

We saw a few Subaru stock but not sure how far they went...the rock section was towards the end.
