Exploring The Corral Hollow 4x4 Trail

[@mtcb1657]

We've been camping in the basin by the second cabin for years, where the trail closes for vehicles past the creek there's a walking/biking trail with a beautiful view I would recommend it

[@TheAngryCamper]

pretty crazy, I was exploring on google earth and stumbled upon corral hollow ohv, then I come to youtube and BOOM this video was recommended!!! great vid!!

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Sounds like the all knowing Google has been paying attention to what you've been looking at on Google earth

[@TheAngryCamper]

@@KlaptOutOffroad I hate to think that you could be right but, there really is no other explanation..... weird

[@TheAngryCamper]

Either that or the universe is telling me that a trip to corral hollow is in my near future!!!!!!

[@cwilsonyt]

Damn good trail review

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Thank you!

[@mikehoncho6460]

I’m hoping my outback will make it through. I have a small lift and larger Falken wildpeak AT3 on it.

[@kenburns4551]

Nice adventure, thanks for taking us along for the ride. Would love to take my XJ there for it’s first trail adventure. Don’t want to go alone on my first trail run though.

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Thanks for the compliment! If your on Facebook, check out the "friends of slickrock and sourgrass trail" group. Corral Hollow is within the territory of that group so there's always people announcing trips to corral hollow and inviting people to tag along.

This video was entertaining. Thanks👍

[@christopherpalisoc]

Thanks you for this great video!

[@the_bencredible]

Just camped there a couple weeks ago. We staying at the overlook at the 5 minute mark. We’ve also slept inside bear trap cabin in other trips. The aspen trees were beautiful when we were there.

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Yeah I know the eastern sierras were going through the aspen color change about 2 weeks ago. Sounds like you visited just at the right time for that.

[@Stuka87]

Really cool video, and nice review of the trail.

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Thanks! You ever run this trail?

[@Stuka87]

Klapt Out Offroad I have not. Only trail I have run off HWY 4 is Slick Rock. Otherwise everything has been 108 or 395.

[@ToddSwagerty]

Thanks for taking the time to video, narrate, and edit. I like exploring, and have taken video, but doing the narration and editing is a pain. BTW, I was checking if I can take my teardrop with me. I think I can make that first mile with the boulders, (the trailer has sliders and 19" clearance) but the narrow twisties in the trees might get me hung up with lots of reversing.

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Yeah, I absolutely hate editing and is why I barely put out any videos. But I appreciate your appreciation towards the hard work I put forth in this one. And I agree, some of those twisty section in the trees might hang you up so it might be better to pre run it without the trailer to gauge it for yourself.

[@josuetrujo]

I was out there last week and I didn't see the second cabin

[@IncompleteJeep]

Nice video!

[@dr.diesel6199]

I did that trail with two wheel drive ram 1500 short bed single cab on 37s beadlocks if anyone's interested in trying it . Great content BTW

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Haha I bet most trails are capable with a 2wd when you have 37" tires

[@SHAWN-EVILSINS]

I have a 05 F-150 6” lift with 35’s buts a 2 wheel drive debating about attempting it lol I have a 89 Toyota pickup lifted that has 4 wheel drive but want to test the F-150

[@Johno530]

Great video! Super helpful. Thinking of heading there this weekend. I have a stock TRD Pro 4runner. I've taken it on some pretty gnarly off road. Would you say the beginning part is basically capable for a rig like mine? I see you did it in you jeep when it was stock. I'm not looking to do the entire thing just going up to camp.

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

I think you should have no problem making it up there. Have fun!

[@johnmadsen37]

I have six transfer cases. Is that enough to drive there?

[@chaiyangg]

Are there cows in the forest of corral hollow

[@justindraggss]

I rode here on my dirt bike in August, it was tons of fun. We even got to under one of the ski lifts. Awesome trail.

[@everythingflytv507]

Which way do you recommend starting the trails top to bottom or bottom to top? LOL. Going this weekend for the first time with a buddy and we are both new to the trail any advice would be great.

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

I recommend going from the tamarack side to cabbage patch side, or in other words the direction I took in the video. Just a heads up though, pretty much all trails above Dorrington, including Corral Hollow are still closed for the season until atleast may 31st

[@everythingflytv507]

@@KlaptOutOffroad Damn. Is there anything else you can recommend that is open right now?

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

@@everythingflytv507 shoot, sorry. Just now seeing your reply. Sourgrass in Dorrington would have been the only trail open this past weekend. Hope you had a good time wherever you went.

[@everythingflytv507]

@@KlaptOutOffroad No worries, ended up going to Miami Creek Trail near Oakhurst. Looking forward to Corral Hollow. Is there a site that I can check to see when it opens?

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

@@everythingflytv507 that trail should be opening up today, but I would call the Calaveras ranger district of the stanislaus national forest to make sure

[@Alboogie415]

I have a JKU that can easily do the run but my gf has a stock GC TrailHawk. Think she’d be able to do this run with me?

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

Absolutely! The only thing she will have to look out for is the few tight spots between trees

[@riveraracing8543]

Can I take my 4 inch (jeep springs) lifted Jetta to this trail?

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

dude, nice! If you haven't seen, I have a MK4 golf with the 4" Jeep lift. Unfortunately I don't think it would be able to run the whole trail. Can probably make it to the cabin and back if you start from the Cabbage Patch side (where I came out at the end of the video)

[@riveraracing8543]

@@KlaptOutOffroad to be honest your video was the reason why I mod mine, that was a great video!!! I am waiting to score some brush gard in a decent price to do it with a winch, we should do a trail with both jettas

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

@@riveraracing8543 I've been wanting to put a winch on mine, just haven't got around to it. If you're ever in or around Tuolumne County, I would totally be down to hit some trails.

[@AustinH7]

I can confirm it is NOT allowed for us to drive into the ski resort. They have since added more logs to block the path. My advice is to avoid driving on their private property, they’ll try to close the trail if we trespass from corral hollow OHV

[@tedthurgate]

Take a look at the National Forrest vehicle use map for Stanislaus National Forrest (Calaveras Northeast). The road through the ski area is seasonally open to the public. Yes I know that is Alpine county, but the map designation is still Calaveras Northest.

[@TheChronicRhythm]

What gps do you have?

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

I was running the Gaia Gps app on a Samsung tablet. I've since switched to the CalTopo app because Gaia was giving me too may problems out on the trail

[@vladd5291]

Any chance you have coordinates for that camping spot with a fire ring overlooking bear valley / corral hollow

[@KlaptOutOffroad]

sounds like you talking about the spot at around 4:45. if so that's at n38 28.659 w120 04.288
