Great video!

[@JeepAdventures]

Love hearing that. Any trail you think I missed?

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

@@JeepAdventures General Patton Training Facility - Camp Coxcom, Camp Iron Mt, Rice AFB, Camp Midland, Camp Granite. There is also Stagecoach Oasis, there is also a haunted camp ground off hwy S2. If you haven't been to any of these, I can take you guys out there. We can also camp on the Colorado River too. That will be a lot of fun.

[@JeepAdventures]

Sounds like fun.

[@Marhtyn]

Just ordered a Jeep and I will use this as a guide to break it in real nice. Thank you

[@JeepAdventures]

You will have a blast, all these are great trails. Make sure you come back here after and let us konw what you think. Also check out the video guide on our channel for 10 Easy Offroad Trails - Day Trip.

[@ogrimdoombringer]

Great job. Well done. New Subscriber.

[@JeepAdventures]

Thank you, very much appreciated

[@ChrisLoomisDirtFlix]

great video Joshua

[@JeepAdventures]

Thank you

[@terrapinoverland]

Nice...Looking forward to checking out a few of these later this year (2023)

[@JeepAdventures]

Awesome!!! Let me know what you think.

[@shawnsocha1683]

Thanks for putting this together. Great trails and great video. Makes me want to get off the couch and into the Jeep!

[@JeepAdventures]

That's the idea hahahha

[@eriksalgado5984]

Great video! No Santiago Peak off Maple Spings

[@JeepAdventures]

That for sure is a great trip, but it is only a day trip which is why I didn't include it.

[@Joshyutah]

Lets hear it. How does this list sound?

[@JeepAdventures]

Let's hear it

[@Michael_Tran]

Thanks for this list Joshua...I definitely want to explore the Red Canyon area more next once it's a bit cooler.

[@JeepAdventures]

It's a cool area, a lot of cool things to see.

[@armandousmaximus7258]

Great list!

[@JeepAdventures]

Thank you sir. I am guessing you probably done all these?

[@Methendis]

Love this! Thank you!

[@JeepAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@trailship]

I may already be following you.

[@JeepAdventures]

To follow, or not to follow, that is the question.

[@MarioLoco03]

The locals that live on 2N02 are starting to become cranky. Two times I was driving like 7mph when each time someone going the opposite direction stopped their vehicle, rolled down the window and yelled at me to slow down. Those old leathery people becoming karens.

[@JeepAdventures]

Yeah, this seems to be a problem everywhere. Somewhere in the last 10 years, people were thought if you move to an area, that means you shouldn't have to share it with anyone else it feels like. And if they don't' like something, even though its been there way before them, it should be changed. Sadly i feel it is only going to get worse as more and more people live in SoCal and less and less trails are becoming available.

[@MarioLoco03]

@@JeepAdventures I agree

[@KyHarvey71]

are you just using gaia to map these out? any other recommendations?

[@JeepAdventures]

I usually use Gaia when mapping trails

[@JeepAdventures]

Besides that, use our app Trailsoffroad, that will have all my details on the trails
