Bald Mountain OHV Off-Road Made Easy - Bow Tie Trail

[@chrisplata9231]

Made it up with my 2WD Tacoma so the trail is super easy!

[@shredwin4283]

You follow the same trail he did? I plan to go in my 2WD Ranger

[@rubencastano6771]

How did u make it up there on a 2wd tacoma? I just went on Saturday with my Sierra at4x and my friend took his 4 runner with a 3inch lift and 33” tires. It was super hard but i dnt see how a 2wd can make it all the way up to the top.

@@rubencastano6771 Literally just don’t be a bitch and haul ass up that’s how I got up there 😂 momentum was key 🔑 and I’m not calling you a bitch just in general! I take the truck to king of the hammers every year and I never get stuck. Just have to air down and go. I have it built like a prerunner with the front and back bumper with mid travel running the fox 2.5s with the adjustable knobs.

[@chrisplata9231]

@@rubencastano6771 I’m also running like a 3.5 inch lift on the Foxes with 33 toyo Mts

Really enjoyed your video, It made my trip to Bald Mt so easy.

[@epbadventures3020]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@macktack42]

Good job on the video! The Bald Tower Renovation Project was done back in 2013-14 by the Adopt-a-trail club "Clovis Independent 4Wheelers" with other local clubs. It was a great collaboration. Thank you everyone for staying on the designated routes. Enjoy everyone!

Hi Mike, long time no see.

[@jtjeepdad4526]

Thanks for making this! I'm a long way from home, unfamiliar with the area, and was looking for a trail to take my BIL out for his first taste of offroad in his Tacoma. This was perfect with an epic view at the end. Thanks again.

[@harminder87]

Really appriciate the video man! My brother-in-law got a rubicon. We are absolute begineers trying to get to the top of bald mountain.

[@calpilot4784]

Thanks, this is very helpful. I had read about some areas going up that looked like they might be rough for my stock Rubicon, but that must have been a different trail. First time up this looks like a great route. Thank you for posting the map links.

[@dolam]

Awesome video! Thanks for posting.

[@epbadventures3020]

Thanks for watching.

[@srrtbb]

Thank you for this and I shared this with everyone I talked too about this! Ok, I wish you'd do the same for on the way down. I know you shared in the gpx file but having the quick video is awesome for planning. Thanks for awesome video.

[@srrtbb]

Now you said at 4:40 mark "if I'd take a right back there would of been an easier". Like stock '10 Honda CRV get to the top how easier? Lol. I have a dual sport motorcycle and planning to ride that up but want to take a wifey up so I need to drive. Maybe I need to rent a truck for this?

[@blueman9450]

Thank you so much. You are a true patriot 🙏💪

[@epbadventures3020]

I guess, for someone that drives a Japanese truck. HA HA. Thank you!!

[@moez1774]

Wow thanks for sharing. I have a sxs and I want to check out this trail. Thank you!

[@joshprater3215]

Thanks been there numerous times but not in my chevy 1500 on 33s went with my buddy

[@alanmtb9927]

Thanks for sharing

[@cachief]

Great video and descriptive, thanks!

[@edwardramirez1777]

Great video

[@the_bencredible]

Going up to Bald next weekend 👌🏼

[@brandong1751]

Do you ever see any mountain quail up there?

[@christopheralexander5121]

Very helpful. Is 09s02 marked? I saw the sign in the video for bald mtn so maybe that’s your cue to turn. On Gaia it looks like it’s 2.2 miles from the trailhead but I think you said 3.5 miles in your video.

[@yosammy1746]

Can I take my 2019 honda civic up there?

[@mnmz6934]

Nice! How did you get down? Sorry, I didn't see it on your Gaia map, not the same way down?

[@kiykim277]

Awesome video!! Is there a good camping site near by, or any dispersed camping around the trail?

[@Bryan-ci6rw]

Are dirt bikes aloud there. I’m going tomorrow

[@newlion7013]

If you would have turned left at the orange arrow wher would that trail take you to & is it a moderate trail?

[@discipleoffroad]

Hey buddy!! Haha great video 🤙🏼

[@jbandt]

Just saw this video. Do you recall how long this took?

[@epbadventures3020]

If I wasn't stopping to film this could be done in under an hour from the ski park.

[@rubencastano6771]

I had the same question Thank you for the vid Im going up there with a few friends in a couple weeks I always heard this trail was rough but this video helped me see that is very duable

[@theislandfusion6137]

Genuinely. How do you think a 03 pilot would do on bald, I’m on AT BFG tires. Iv taken it on quite a few mountain trails. She’s never gotten stuck or really struggled tbh

[@michaelherzer4349]

Is there a road/ trail from the Sierra senic byway above mammoth pool's down to the san Joaquin river?

[@_mandujano_]

Is there trails for and are sxs allowed here?

[@epbadventures3020]

Yes, Side by sides are up there all the time. Tons of good trails in the Bald Complex, though they're under about 30 feet of snot right now.

[@loboost7094]

What would be a good trail to bald mountain in a utv? Planning a trip out there. First time going

[@wesbarcus3761]

Good chance for new comers to get their jeep dirty, start learning how your vehicle works, drop tire pressure, play on some easy obstacles.

[@tyvang559]

Awesome!

[@epbadventures3020]

Thanks for watching. I see from your channel that you're a rider. I ride myself. I have a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled that needs to be taken out. What are you using for the map overlay on your videos? It's really cool.

[@tyvang559]

@@epbadventures3020 I'm always looking for trails to go on in the valley. Whenever you wanna ride let me know... Can't go on the trails but I'm down for a street ride lol .... I use the go pro app.. as long as your go pro have GPS enabled you can use the overlay when you edit the video on the app. Hope we run into each other out there on the trails... Thanks for the awesome videos

[@willd7533]

Nice video, I gotta try that route. What did you take out?

[@epbadventures3020]

We came out on Plain to Basecamp. When the fires die down I plan on taking a weekend up there and running all the routes and highlighting them all.

[@willd7533]

I was on kaiser pass this past weekend, no smoke in the area. I was planning on going up there to get away from all the smoke. I tried bald mt from the dinkey creek side and I had to turn around, mainly because I was scared by myself lol

[@bigpetah765]

Do you think my highlander can make it up there? Lol

[@epbadventures3020]

Yeah

[@maomaniarocks]

would a stock tacoma 4x4 make it up there same trail? thx

[@pmazurek559]

Getting a stock Tacoma off-road. Do you think it will make it!

[@Ryureki]

When you going lol I’m going tmrw stock Jt lol

[@newlion7013]

How many trails other than brewer & bald mtn., can u do around that area?

[@epbadventures3020]

Are you asking how many I've done, what my rig is capable of doing, or how many there are? As far as how many I've done, I've taken just about every published route to the top of Bald and attempted most of the obstacles along the way. I've yet to do Brewer, but it is on the list. As far as other trails nearby, I've done most of the Red Mountain OHV trails with the exception of Mirror Lake.

[@aprilwine132]

Last trail I did before moving to Idaho to stay three years ago. . I heard some idiot burned the tower down.
