Thank you for sharing. I didn’t realize that the trail came out to the Buckhorn Draw trail. We have been into the pictographs and hiked the slick rock above it. Your editing transitions were annoying and a cross dissolve would have been a little easier to watch. I have thinking about this trail and your video popped up so thanks again for posting. That is one amazing canyon!😀😀👍👍

First I heard of this trail. Does it circle back to where you started, or do you come out somewhere else down the line? Thanks for bringing this to us!

If traveling the trail/canyon from East to West (which is the direction we traveled it in the video) it will come out onto Buckhorn Wash road. You can't then turn either North, which will take you you towards the suspension bridge and Buckhorn pictograph panel or turn south, which will take you back towards I-70. Thanks for watching. Mike

Enjoyed the video Mike. Beautiful country out there. Some of those branches looked close to your Jeep, hopefully you didn't get too many scratches?

[@zmotorsports62]

Thanks for watching. Yes, it is a beautiful area and one my wife and I quickly fell in love with. The branches were close but no scratches this trip. I HATE pinstripes and do NOT consider them badges of honor so I go out of way to avoid them as much as possible. Granted I've had to polish summer out over the years but I've been known to turn around on overgrown trails or drive miles out of my way to avoid them altogether. 😁

Sounds like you have a v8 in your jeep. Do you have diff locks as well?

[@zmotorsports62]

That is correct. I put a 6.2 liter LS engine and 6L80 6-speed automatic in it about 4-years/ 56k miles ago. Yes I also have electric lockers in the front and rear axles. Thank you for taking the time to watch. Mike

How far from your home is this?

[@zmotorsports62]

Only about 240 miles. Thank you for watching. Mike

[@Lineman99]

Oh thats not to far at all. I enjoy your videos!! Keep them coming!!

[@zmotorsports62]

Thank you I appreciate that. I struggle filming the off-road videos. The shop videos are easier to film and I feel more comfortable doing. I appreciate you watching and following along. Mike

I have watched about 12 min of this vid, reminds me of a rock quarry just stone walls and rubble. nothing i would call beautiful or interesting thanks for letting me know not to waste my time going there

[@zmotorsports62]

I guess you have to appreciate natural scenery but that's what makes it a choice to go or not. If you choose not to go that's great, I'd hate for you to be disappointed and that means less people and crowds. 👍

[@jimderksen1653]

These are the canyon drives I love and look for. Certainly not a waste of time for me…..to each his own I guess.

@@jimderksen1653 I guess if you are into dirt and rock it's your thing some of us love streams rivers trees and shrubs and wildflowers mountains and things of beauty but if you're into rocks and dirt, hell my just be where you would be most happy
