One of our favorite trails - Chinaman Gulch aka Yansing Gulch

Chinaman Gulch (renamed to Yansing Gulch) is easily one of my top 5 favorite trails. It is a 7.1 mile trail that can take between 4-6 hours to complete. Modified 4x4s with lockers and winches are highly recommended. While the area doesn't get much snow, there are a few times during the winter that this because extremely difficult. When dry, it is still very challenging and should never be run alone.

Ran that one back in April. Amazing trail. Can't wait to go back!!

[@mikecolesvids]

Neat vid, love that area. BV is our favorite CO town! But for some reference in takes the average dirt biker 20 - 30 min to do the loop. My preference it to run it each direction in less than an hour. Thanks for sharing the vid!

[@robertwebb3841]

Great video! Glad the new trailer is working out.

[@Anthony_Adventures]

Great video as always man keep up the great work. Just some Advice most the time when your get turtled like you did the best way to get unstuck is to have 1 or 2 people push up and pull down on your front bumper while you drive in reverse. It’s a lot easier to go backwards then forward most of the time.

[@TrailTraveler]

They we all just messing around and goofing off. We just threw on a kinetic rope and pulled it over the rock.

[@JeepingMo]

I need to get back out there, thanks for sharing

[@ryanrowe8742]

Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Definitely helps me decide which trails are next on my list with my 4runner

[@yerwrng]

Our groups usually take 2-3 hours tops and that's when guys are in the group with pretty stock Rubicon jeeps on 33s holding up the pace if everyone is in built rigs it's a couple hours including a stop or two and doing the obstacles . The trail is basically just a rocky road with a few obstacles like the rock pile , whale tail , stair steps then the chutes everything between is basically bumpy road .

[@TrailTraveler]

I've never seen anyone do it in 2 hours, you would have to be flying through it. I've personally never been able to do it in less than 5, mostly due to traffic. A lot of people will sit on an obstacle for 30 minutes, trying dozens of times and creating huge backups on the trail. It took us an hour at Whale's Tail the last time because of 5 rigs in front of us because they just tried forever, not one person ever pulled line to keep things moving.

[@yerwrng]

@@TrailTraveler we've never ran it with much traffic it's pretty much just been us on the trail . I'm actually thinking if running it today but I have to break the rules of running a trail as far as going alone but I'm bored .

[@DeanJohnson67]

less than a month and I'll be in that very area though I don't think I should try this trail in my stock JT Rubicon since I'd likely be solo! looks like a lot of fun though and it's good to see you are making good use of the camper + RTT!

[@TrailTraveler]

The JT is a bit long for this trail and you definitely don't want to do it solo

[@richards144]

Could this trail be done on 35's? I have the Extreme Recon package on my Rubicon with the factory 2" lift. Thanks. Eventually I want to get some armor under the rig and good rock sliders, but I'm all stock right now.

[@TrailTraveler]

It can be done on 35's, you just have to pick good lines, not do the optional obstacles, and be prepared to hear a little scraping underneath.

[@richards144]

@@TrailTraveler thanks

[@golightlycycling6631]

How are you storing fuel for 6-7hr trails? Or can you make it that long on a single tank?

[@TrailTraveler]

"Normally" we can make it but we generally carry two 3g Rotopax for extra fuel.

[@bricecoon1632]

I want to run this and carnage canyon someday

[@PolarBearPHA]

What time of year was this?

[@TrailTraveler]

Mid September

[@LostThymeOverlandAdventures]

Do you remember how long it took?

[@TrailTraveler]

First time we did it, we were by ourselves and it took like 6 hours. Now, I think we can do it in 4.

[@LostThymeOverlandAdventures]

@@TrailTraveler well I actually meant this question to be for the Webster/Red Cone/Radical Hill/Saints John video, but the video switched quicker than I can type.

[@TrailTraveler]

We actually just did that again a week ago, we did it in 8.5 hours. Keep in mind that we are slower with filming, drone shots, stopping for lunch, and Kateryna hunting for mushrooms

[@LostThymeOverlandAdventures]

@@TrailTraveler that’s fine. I stop often when I do trails, throw the Starlink up, and do video calls for work.

[@coloradoprospecting1034]

Good to no, on everything

[@avlogs7372]

Is this trail something a stock JL rubicon could handle?

[@TrailTraveler]

If you can pick good lines and have a winch if you make a mistake

[@bobkohl5406]

I love the video part of it I have to turn the volume off because your commentary on it just puts me to sleep I'm sorry buddy you just don't have a commentators voice sorry about that it's not a criticism it's just what is but your videos are awesome keep him up but do less talk anymore driving thank you bye-bye

[@TrailTraveler]

Have you compared that to one of our current videos? I would like your opinion on if we have improved in your mind
