By now most of the guided trails will be full, but people should still go and just do their own thing. There are enough people around help you out on the trail if anything were to happen.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Agreed!!

[@rickhollman4040]

I have enjoyed your videos, you said feel free to recommend some trails that you might be willing to do with my wife and I (or bring an entire convoy), so I want to recommend OzarkOverlandAdventureTrail which is 5days starting 6/25/24 near Clarksville AR through the Saint Francis Ozark Forest (can provide more details). Next is a 4day trail in Colorado starting 8/19/24. This would include more than one pass in a single day but for simplicity Day1 to include Tincup Pass to Gunnison CO, Day2 to include Pearl Pass to Aspen CO, Day3 to include Taylor Pass to Crested Butte CO, Day4 to include Hancock Pass to Buena Vista CO (same same scenic beauty as iconic trails near Ouray CO but less people on the trails and slightly more challenging) - very excited about AR and CO😀

[@csgodenver]

Ok you just answered my question thanks!

[@Live2Journey]

Good video. We did an ATV tour in Moab and between that and the pass from Ouray to Telluride, we keep debating Jeep life!

[@FarFromOrdinary]

It's not a bad life!! And that area is so beautiful!!

[@Geeks4x4]

Excellent video, was thinking about piggy backing but you covered it all!

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Thanks man!! 🧡

[@jeepinwithjulia]

Great video, thanks!

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Thanks Julia!!!!

[@4122inc]

Excellent guide and great advice! We'll for certain make it next year!

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Yes!! Can't wait!!

[@jeffdissinger6324]

Great video. Thanks.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

No problem Jeff!

[@rodhester2166]

Favorite place to wheel, a close second is trail hero event at Sand Hollow

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Yes! Totally agreed.

[@CajunMile]

Thanks for the info. I’m very intimidated to go off-road, I think i could handle 1-3 trails. Great video. Appreciate your insight.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Dooo iiiiiit. It's soooo much fun!!

[@ChanceP]

Nice video man 👍🏻

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Thanks, hope ya'll are doing well!!

[@patrickjamesmcb]

Man, awesome guide. Wish I could go this year. Still getting settled in CO Springs, Need some skids and bigger tires on the new JT

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Nice Patrick! Reach out when you get settled! I think we've got a scenic ride planned for next Sunday if you're interested!

[@TrailYeti]

Awesome video! Is now to late to plan to go in March?

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Not at all!

[@WreckedBrewery]

Great info. Sadly I'm no where near UT. I'm trying to scout out trails or off-roading spots in my neck of the woods NC/SC. I went exploring the other day and found a near 1-2 difficulty trail going through and around King's Mountain Military Park.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Ughh yeah the West has a lot of public land which unfortunately starts to disappear the further you go East. 😕

[@jasont7814]

Great video. Outside of EJS, do you need to book/reserve these trails, or are they pretty quiet during Spring and Fall? Thanks.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Thanks Jason! Outside of EJS it's all BLM land so you can drive out whenever you like.

[@jam23r1]

Pro tip do trails that red rocks is not doing and you'll find lots of people out on the trail and you don't have to pay

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Great tip!!!

[@trialnterror]

Where can I find these trails?

[@trialnterror]

I went to red rock a month ago and every trail was booked ? Can I just tag along?

[@ColoradoDave]

You left out Metal Masher and Sevenmile Rim, two of my favorite trails.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Seven mile is a good one!! We've yet to run Metal Masher, the grade just makes it sound worse than it probably is.

[@ColoradoDave]

@@FarFromOrdinary Metal Masher has a lot of very difficult optional stuff but it's no harder than Poison Spider otherwise.

[@FarFromOrdinary]

@@ColoradoDave That's really good to know, Poison Spider was one of our favorites.

[@trialnterror]

I’m coming down from northern Utah in my rubicon is there a trail your doing that you wouldn’t mind people to tag along?

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Would love to have you join us! We're running our own stuff Wed, Thur, and Fri. Keep an eye on our IG (@farfromordinarylife) for details!

[@christopherporter4561]

Did you add front lockers to your Mojave?

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Not yet! It's on the list though. The list that keeps getting longer! LOL

[@justenhansen]

Hey where can I find the rest of the video of the 4:43 clip?

[@FarFromOrdinary]

Our original video with that incident is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJCaiGCtfrSeZ6M

[@justenhansen]

Thanks! Tip Toe looks awesome. Might try it this year.
