Anyone have the list of them,?I didn't write them down while watching assuming they would be in the notes and don't want to have to watch again.

[@RevereOverland]

If you make the list I'll pin the comment

Were any of these closed by BLM with the recent closures?

[@22jeepmojave75]

Thank you for the video. This is my only bucket list for me, driving North West and see America before I die.

[@SGT12XU]

Elephant Hill has my vote. It’s challenging in spots, hairy in others, and very scenic everywhere. The Devil’s Kitchen campground spot #4 is insane.

[@johndirksen4617]

I agree - Onion Creek is always on my list. Just wanted to share my favorite. Here's an epic and difficult 'loop' I've done four times, it takes about a week depending on your choices and the weather. Countless places to camp along the way: Stock up in Moab with extra fuel, water, ice and food - supplies are extremely limited on this trip. Head out to Kane Creek/Hurrah Pass and turn left onto Lockhart Basin road before you reach Chicken Corner. The canyon you climb out of on the LB road is probably the most difficult section of this trip. Next you'll wind around cliff faces for a good four hours of jaw-dropping scenery before reaching pavement just outside the Needles district of Canyonlands. Restock gas etc at Canyonlands Needles Outpost before continuing. Head into Needles and take Elephant Hill. Your eventual destination on this segment is somewhere near HITE - go south in the grabens onto Devil's Lane, climb up Bobby's Hole (can be difficult) and continue South on Ruin Park road, then head east on Beef Basin road (088) at the fork. 088 turns into 'Gooseberry Rd' as it climbs over the Abajos. Head west on Elk Mountain Rd (228) where 088 ends. Right before reaching Bears Ears, the road forks with 228 going south though the Bears Ears ending near Natural Bridges. Turn onto Wooden Shoe Rd (256) instead for minimal pavement. Turn north on Fortknocker (2081) when 256 ends. When you reach pavement, the side road to Hite is just across Hwy 95. Recommended side trip, especially when scorching hot: Go over Blue Notch and down to the lake to cool off and maybe camp for a day or two. Blue Notch road is about 45 minutes each way. Stop at Hite for gas etc, and call Hans Flat ranger station to make a reservation at the Doll House (site #1 is best) or Millard, or the Chocolate Drops, or all three if very ambitious, in the Maze. It will probably take an entire day to go from Doll House to Millard. Go north on 95, crossing over the river. Turn north on Flint Trail road (NP633) about a 1/2 mile past the bridge. The next several hours are just so incredible. (Bet you've already been) When done with the Maze, climb up the Flint Switchbacks and say hi to the rangers at Hans Flat. Take a side trip to Robber's Roost if interested, pretty cool. The roads here can be confusing. Eventually you will hit Hwy 24 about a mile north of Hanksville. Stop in Hanksville for supplies etc. So many choices from this point: return to Moab on the highways if you need to, hit the Swell (!), Cap Reef, etc. Great vid

[@philipmarr7325]

I know some of that route. Ive ridden bikes in Moab a few times. I need to write that down before next time.

[@bradleylayton1741]

Muddy creek! My family lives in a town right off the muddy. So crazy now that I’m looking into doing over landing I had no clue the amount of good trails near my family’s town of Emery. I grew up in Cali and moved to Kentucky 4 years ago.

[@4x4adventure_pl]

This video unfolds the saga of the solo camper, where every sunrise and sunset narrates a story of solo overlanding. The open road becomes a partner, and the solo camper's journey is a visual testament to the beauty of independence.

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Brilliant summary. And as always great placement of cameras to get the best views of the trail. That includes great use of drone angles. 👍

[@cobrakenny]

In the planning stages of a trip to Utah, this was very helpful, thank you!

[@JamesSymmonds]

Great video! Love that you make a realistic vs a puffy chested call out as to what is really needed for various scenarios. (Some channels will say that all of these trails require built out off road rigs. Despites others saying they've done it in lesser.) Putting some of these on my list once I beef up the Subaru a bit. I've already done Shafer top down in a stock Honda Element. So some of these in a plated, tired, and minor lifted Forester sound reasonable.... weather permitting.

[@fpartidafpartida]

I love how you include distance for the trails. Plan to take my Rivian R1S on these trails (as well as doing some mountain biking) and the distance give me a good range idea.

[@TrailNewbie]

Man, I’ve got to get out there to Utah in the next year. AMAZING video as usual. 👊🏼

Very last drone shot from above the ledge was incredible!! Going to check out a few of these later in the year !

[@paulfercho5740]

Went to Utah earlier this month, I really liked Shafer switchbacks to Shafer Road then coming out near Moab on Potash road. The 17 miles off of the 24 to get to Cathedral Valley and Temple of the Sun in Capital Reef was also pretty awesome.

[@AlxDv]

Hey Revere Overland!, you did an awesome job covering the state of Utah!👍 And now all you have to do is, go to The Four Corners (Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico), and break dance on all corners!😂 Then you can mention to people that, you've been In ALL Four states at the exact same time!!!👍👍🤠🥳🥳🥳

[@nephimcknight5832]

I'm doing a 3 inch lift, new tires, new brakes and a tune up on my 97 4runner to do exactly this! I've lived in Utah most of my life and have never done any off roading besides dirt biking at the sand dunes

[@AlexRay1]

The very few people part is changing quickly, the secret is out. Overall great video

[@bluecruiser2019]

Once again, great vid! You hit it spot on, we spend a lot of time over in Utah doing the non publicized trails. Actually have done all of these and they are amazing. I could add quite a few trails to this list that I’m sure you know about. But there are so many how do you pick🤷‍♂️😊👍

[@RevereOverland]

Picking just 5 was hard to do. I actually had 10, but decided to narrow it down!

[@DC-ul3wq]

@@RevereOverland Enjoyed this, thanks. Any of the top 5 not doable by a high clearance van with low range? Also, what would have been #6-10? Thanks.

[@lostarrowoverland4067]

All great calls. Onion is beautiful anytime. But, inclement weather magnifies its beauty. I'll throw my wildcard in. Fortknocker Canyon road just east of the Hite Marina. Route it to Bears Ears. Bring hiking shoes .....

[@RevereOverland]

The snow made it 10x better! I've got that one on my list of trails to do, since I want to connect all the national parks with unpaved roads.

[@lostarrowoverland4067]

It will fit your cinematic talents perfectly.

05:34 - What roof cargo box is that on the 4Runner? I haven't seen any looking like that one when checking on many brands websites. I want something like that, so wide and fits the 4Runner roof. Anybody knows?

[@bodencoker7996]

I am trying to find The Elephant Gap Trail on OnX Offroad and I am unable to find it. None of the trails I can see even go into Zion Nat Park, the Elephant Gap trail doesn't match his description, however the Shunesburg Maildrop is the closest one that does. Is this the trail he is talking about or the Elephant Hill Trail in Moab?

[@user-hw9yq1qk8v]

What is the location of the shot with vehicles parked near the cliff? I've seen other videos of camping and would love to camp there but can't seem to find the name.

[@larshamilton40]

excellent recommendations.. i'm sure you're a busy new Dad, but when's the next (family) trip? cheers !

[@RevereOverland]

Next family trip is in February, but there's a Colorado trip we took that still needs to be edited.

[@jeremyking3986]

So can I do most of these with a lifted AWD Sienna? Or am I better off in a 4Runner?

[@tepicpaco]

where can i see the trails? and follow them.. any map or application?

[@stlouisarch2162]

Would Elephant Hill be doable with a small off-road trailer, in your opinion, or would I be better off leaving it behind? Downhill of course. 😁 An Xterra would be pulling.

[@RevereOverland]

Yes, unless you’re unlucky (or have driver error like us)

[@SGT12XU]

I wouldn’t do that. The trail has a couple tight switchbacks that you have to reverse down and reverse up. That’s a disaster for a trailer.

[@RevereOverland]

@@SGT12XU it must have changed since I last did it. Thanks!

[@stevecarlson2346]

Not impossible but would strongly advise against. As above, two points on the Hill require reversing down a switchback (although one can be done without reversing if you have a very short wheelbase). It has been like that for at least 20 years.

[@RevereOverland]

@@stevecarlson2346 I didn't have to reverse down any switchbacks in my 4Runner. Are you thinking of Elephant Hill in Moab, rather than in southern Utah?
