Behind the Scenes on Behind the Reef and Must Do Offroad Trails

When some of the Trails Offroad™ Crew gets together, it usually means mapping off-road trails, finding fun overland routes, and learning new tricks. This trip was located in one of our favorite backcountry areas, the San Rafael Swell in Utah. The San Rafael Swell is an epic destination because of the amazing scenery, fewer crowds, and of course, the epic off-road and overland trails. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at one of our fun crew weekends. Trails in the order shown listed below.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you

[@PineBarrens75]

Great job guys... and gal!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you :) we appreciate that!

[@AzSipp]

AmazIng video! I hope to see more of these behind the scenes! I hope to hit some trails with wade! I love his Arizona trails!

[@Trailsoffroad]

We will let him know!! We would love to go wheel with you sometime :)

[@4coryw]

The video doesn't do the scenery justice, I cant wait to go back and see it again! Great job with the video!

[@Trailsoffroad]

You’re right Cory! So much better in person :)

[@michaelharris1455]

Thanks for the peak behind the scenes, and for sharing such stunning countryside.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you for watching.

[@beckivowles1647]

Beautiful country and scenery!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Truly is amazing! We hope to meet you out there sometime :)

[@Scrambler85]

Always a thumbs up for the video 👍

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you :)

[@VOLK________]

Very well done guys.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you

[@jimlong4259]

Amazing video, Great Pronghorn Shots. (And all shots).

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you :). The pronghorn were definitely a highlight we wanted to fit into the video.

[@chkwgn460]

Awesome! I can't wait to live out west somewhere and exploring trails and places like this.

[@Trailsoffroad]

There are many many places to explore!

[@chkwgn460]

@@Trailsoffroad we have explored parts of Az and Ut and a little of Nv. Love it out there.

[@xploremor]

Great perspective and trip that I'm truly sad we missed. We're healthy and ready for the next one!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Looking forward to it

[@Trailsoffroad]

Sorry we missed you Bobby!! You HAVE to make the next one!

[@MarioLoco03]

Wow, awesome video. But that drone self recovery was awesome too.

[@Trailsoffroad]

hahaha, sometimes you are lucky.

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Amazing...so jealous

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks for watching! If you ever see us on the trail, come up and say hi. We love wheeling with new people!

[@deborahlh7747]

Well done video!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you :)

[@jeepzj2.0]

Another great video, like I’m there. Wish I can make it there in my ZJ. 👌🏼

[@Trailsoffroad]

The swell is hard to beat! One of our favorite places for sure!

[@outlaw9232]

Love the behind the scenes footage! Seems the Trails Offroad uniform is a black Trails Offroad Tee shirt, khaki shorts and dark gray tennis shoes. LOL. Awesome video, drone footage and camera angles. Mission accomplished, I want to to run this trail now! +1..."pick up your daymn trash!"

[@Trailsoffroad]

Lol. Just the shirts were coordinated:)

[@MKAK47]

Great video, time for some to invest in a good tent!

[@Trailsoffroad]

John did, he bought an Ursa Minor for his JL. Now Josh sort of went a different direction, he bought another cheapy and a 40 foot RV.

[@MKAK47]

Glad John did, I can't speak to the RV scene, definitely not something I would do. I have a kodiak and it's been nothing but great.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Those are amazing tents

[@gburleson321]

Excellent work. I love to join you guys sometime.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Anytime Gary!

[@redrockoverland]

We did this trail with our trailer, made for some interesting moments 😀. The shelf section especially. My wife wanted to kill me lol.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Lol, I bet :) I’m sure that story will be told for forever now :)

[@ceddew3185]

It would be most helpful if you video the most difficult portions of the trails, like worst ledges, waterfalls, off camber areas, water crossings, etc. This is most helpful in determining vehicle requirements

[@Trailsoffroad]

Hi Ced, we have the full trail guides that cover that info. Check them out in the links provided in the video description.

[@ceddew3185]

I will look. Thanks

[@KX6D]

Its was going so well...then at about 19:50 Capt. Obvious had to say, "...keep going down the trail; stay tuned." This commentary should become the official drinking game of Trails Offroad!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Bottoms up

[@stevegreen245]

Great job! The pronghorn are super cool. Did you notice they tend to not run away? You may know this already. But they don't need to run. They can hit 65 mph. So they aren't really afraid of getting caught. I've only seen them once. Northern Arizona.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Did not know that! These guys were pretty passive and probably watching us as closely as we were watching them.

[@Scrambler85]

They are the 2nd fastest land animal in the world behind the Cheetah which evolved in North America

[@douglaschinn7660]

Not until hunting season, then they're gone, gone gone LOL!

[@zr2overlander323]

T-minus three weeks and I will be there and the surrounding area!!! Me and my son cannot wait! Thanks for another great video!

[@Trailsoffroad]

What a great place for a trip!! Let us know how it goes :)

[@dkheaton]

This is an excellent video. Thanks for sharing. curious if the behind the Reef and hidden Splendor trails you can do in one day or does it take two?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Really depends on where you starting, but we recommend checking out our trail pages that have detailed guides and time estimates on them. You can find the link above in the video description or just search in google trailsoffroad and the trail name

[@milthornton2072]

how can I see the route you took? Do you transfer it onto the T.O. maps?

[@Trailsoffroad]

All the trails listed in the video description. In order, but we backtracked and did a couple of the same trails twice for night shots or returning to camp. The only one is Temple Mine road - which will show up on any base map you use.

[@YeepLife]

Great vid. Wher'd yall get your shirts done? I need a vender.

[@Trailsoffroad]

These shirts were a company based in Anaheim, CA

[@StaffAction]

the five links in the video description just go to a "404 page could not be found" on your website.

[@Trailsoffroad]

links are working fine. Might be a browser issue. Throw them in google.

[@StaffAction]

@@Trailsoffroad sure enough. they work fine in Chrome but not safari

[@StaffAction]

@@Trailsoffroad btw, you mentioned repeatedly "must-do" hikes. Might be a neat feature of the site - "our top 10 in Utah", "our Must do 10 in AZ", etc.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yeah, randomly we will release those. They take up a lot of time to create them so usually do it during slow times.

[@annegreen9700]

Where do we get the book from?

[@Trailsoffroad]

what book are you speaking of?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Oh!! That book, the Trails Offroad Book of “Must Do Trails” :) it’s not a real book yet :) but we do have over 2600 well-written trail guides on our site.

[@Clawson_customs]

The next time you are here in my backyard please ask local person how to say the name of our desert

[@Trailsoffroad]

Anytime!! Come hit the trail with us 😊

[@Clawson_customs]

That would be great

[@andreaenger6967]

Hi anyone who can help me with my account? I have all access paid subscription and for some reason I can get "ALL ACCESS" I have emailed thru the website but no one have gotten back to me. Can I get help any other way?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Andrea, we didn’t see an email, but please go here: www.trailsoffroad.com/feedback we will get you squared away!

[@andreaenger6967]

@@Trailsoffroad Thank you!

[@JKerr2777]

From what I’m seeing, my Prius could do this trip….

[@z06king]

Then be sure to check out Matt's Offroad Recovery as he recovers a Prius in the Hurricane area kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ2VpWR3oLl2b5o

[@PhilipKaskela]

you can eat soup with a fork too, but it takes forever, looks stupid, and leaves you frustrated. But sure, it technically can be done.

[@Trailsoffroad]

@Philip hahahahaha

[@Trailsoffroad]

A lot of the area could be done in a 2wd, just not all of it.

[@joncallahan3464]

This trip was about better video. Maybe the next trip can be about better audio.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Heck yeah, any chance to hit the trails again :)
