Yankee Hill Offroad Trail: A Rite of Passage

Yankee Hill is the very first offroad trail for many people. It's a go-to spot just outside of Denver, Colorado, for beginners looking to learn or anyone who just wants to get away for the day.
The route takes you directly into the Yankee Hill Network, where you could spend a day or two exploring many different trails and route combinations, giving you plenty of offroad miles to enjoy. With two different destinations at each end, one being the popular St. Mary's Glacier and Central City/Blackhawk, you can fit in other activities besides offroading.
Vehicles in the video:
White Jeep JL with Ursa Minor is 35" tires with a 2.5" lift.
White Jeep JL 3.0 eco diesel is on 35" tires with a 2" Mopar lift
White Toyota Tacoma is on 32" tires and stock

What a cool area so close to Denver! Don't forget Kingston Peak and Bill Moore Lake. Or Red Elephant if you're feeling adventurous!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks John

[@albertolopez797]

Can i do these trails on a Outback wilderness stock clearance

[@patrickshaw5610]

I work here in the CCRD on the OHV crew and I really appreciate your informative video and proper use! I spent a large amount of my season patrolling and working here this year installing brand new FS road signs to help visitors know the routes they are on, compliance, and trail work!! We just installed a Brand new Kiosk at the TH too so please please check it out! Some great literature and QR codes on there for mapping and rescue!!! And always, STAY THE TRAIL/LEAVE NO TRACE!

[@Trailsoffroad]

It's our pleasure! We started our company over there in St. Mary's Glacier area, so we want to see it treated well! Don't hesitate to contact us anytime for any help or assistance in clean-ups, messaging etc. Most importantly - Thanks for what you do!

[@imjasonriggs]

Another great video and another awesome CO trail to add to the to do list. Nice job Todd!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks Jason!! We hope to see you around sometime soon!

[@stevetabor4447]

Never think that’s close to Denver absolutely gorgeous scenery for days awesome trail great stuff guy’s thanks for sharing as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks!! Todd used to live in Alice/St. Mary’s and always says how much there is to explore there.

[@joeverastegui8399]

Wow!!! Bravo Todd, now this vid is what I think trails Offroad is all about. So well put together and informative. Can't wait to get my chance to do Colorado.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks Joe! Come on out!! we have a few trail suggestions we can share with you :)

[@dennisclark3303]

Wow! I really need to get to Denver. A great trail video.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Come on out any time Dennis!!

[@giuseppecatalano7801]

Great video! 👍🏻

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you kindly :). We appreciate the comments, they give us more energy to go out and make more videos!

[@RayGrau]

OHHH was just here yesterday! 8/11/2024 and the trail is much different then the video. For the most part rocky with loose traction but 2 spots that make you think twice. Be aware of your line - we had a close call! Stock PRO versions can make it but a few upgrades make it worth your while. We went the same direction as the video and everyone recommends the other direction.

[@Trailsoffroad]

That trail gets so much use and abuse, those obstacles get much rougher every year. Leave a trail review if you already haven't on our website/apps, we would love to see the adventure. Thanks for watching!

[@chriskolaska897]

You guys should come out to Southern California there's a lot of cool trails out here.

[@Trailsoffroad]

We have a lot of trails mapped in Southern California but if theres anything on the site we are missing, feel free to leave us a feedback! We love to wheel out there, especially when it gets cold in the mountains!

[@RichardFredrickson]

Your best video!!! I was going up next week.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you, and that area is a classic place to go! Let us know how you liked it by leaving a trail review on the site!

[@RichardFredrickson]

@@Trailsoffroad will do

[@MissouriAdventures]

I'm looking for trails to take my wife and daughters on that hate shelf roads and this looks like it might be the ticket! It's hard to find info on this. Thanks for the video!

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks for watching. You will find all of this information and more on our website or apps. We have fully curated offroad trail guides all across the nation!

[@Iceman_777]

Miners gulch rules.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Yes it certainly does!

[@djmadwax]

Awesome

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thank you :)

[@robingonzalez1210]

I hope someday my wife and I would have the privilege to go on a trail with you guys, God bless.

[@Trailsoffroad]

If you ever see us out on the trail, dont hesitate to come up and say hi. We love wheeling with everyone we meet!

[@mikethompson7406]

Ordered my first Jeep, expecting it by February! '22 JLUR. The white Jeeps have 35s, did you put a lift on there too, what lift? Doesn't look too crazy. I was thinking of 35s and a 2" lift. I've heard a lot of people say stay away from Mopar because it's not complete. It will be my daily driver so 35s with a 2" lift will be plenty for what I want to do.

[@Trailsoffroad]

The white Jeep with the stock wheels has the 2" mopar lift with 35's and Todd has been very happy with it! My Jeep is the white Jeep with black wheels and white top running 35's and a 2.5" Clayton Offroad Overland Plus kit and it has been an incredible lift kit, especially if you run more weight. These rigs are super capable with 35's and lots of people run 37's as well with factory gearing and axles so your options for a capable rig are endless! Thanks for watching and enjoy the new rig! The new JL's are awesome!

[@sanchezable]

I always find a funguy while wheeling in co.

[@Trailsoffroad]

They are around.

[@aaronpackineau9629]

so a stock Ram Big Horn can make this trail yeah?

[@Trailsoffroad]

best thing to do is check our detailed website. the link is in the video description above.

[@mauijim5429]

Really enjoyed the video! Beautiful country. I understand before airing down to 17, the Tacoma tire pressure was 32 psi. What wheel and tire size was installed on that truck?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Hey Jim, there is a lot of factors when it comes to airing down. Weight/tire size/rim size/type of offroading are the 4 major factors.

[@networkguy3152]

Loving the videos! Looking to bring the family out to Colorado in our new rubicon next summer. Do you have suggestions for what trails to hit in what order? We are looking to be out there for about a week and hoping to camp when we can but hotels work. We will be coming from Minnesota.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Awesome,! there is some amazing camping the further you get from Denver. Check out all our trail guides on the site - we have good camping intel in them.

[@arcadianos6045]

Hi, i hace a question if someone can help me. I am going to do my first trail on a 2006 jeep comander i want to Know if the jeep comander can make this trail.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Best thing to do is go to our website. The link is in the description above. There you will find all the details to figure out if you and your jeep are ready for this trail. If you still have questions, you can ask the crew that did this trail recently what they think at the bottom of the website.

[@thedoggiehumansquad9478]

Hi, do I need AT tires for this? can a LX do it with just street tires?

[@Trailsoffroad]

AT tires are highly recommended. The rocks out there are sharp. However, plenty of people do this road in street tires, but your chance for a sliced tire and loss of traction go up!!! Definitely don’t attempt it in snow or ice with street tires. If you’re looking for roads/trails better for street tires, look for the easy rated trails which you can find on our website or apps, this trail is considered moderate.

[@alliesinchas]

Love your videos, keep it up! We're looking to come out this spring, would this be doable with a Jeep Commander, 2.5" lift, with 33"s?

[@Trailsoffroad]

The best thing to do is head over to our website and take a look. You can find the link to the trail page inside the description above.

[@captainamer71]

Btw they tell you to goto their website so you have to pay them money to get info. Many other trail information sites for free.

[@shaddaiahlovato238]

What app do you recommend to use on the trails to stay the course?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Thanks for asking!! The one depicted in the video is the new Trails Offroad app, in IOS. The Android will be out in a few more weeks. We recommend Gaia GPS in addition to ours if you are looking for a more robust navigation option. We hope to see you out on the trails!!

[@shaddaiahlovato238]

@@Trailsoffroad thank you so much. Very new to off reading in colorado and I never want to put myself in a bad situation and be lost lol

[@Trailsoffroad]

@Shaddaiah Lovato and that is why we started doing what we do.. we have been there! lol :) 😀

[@CORNDODGER]

I had to SUB cuz these let me know If I am getting over my head in my STOCK YUGO but seems I am good to go on most

[@Trailsoffroad]

Think this is good, check out our website or app. The details are insane!!!

[@bryandemicheli4748]

How do you know when to air down the tires and to what psi?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Hi Bryan, it's always a good idea to air your tires down for a couple of reasons: 1) it cushions the ride out. 2) your tires will be less prone to puncture on sharp rocks, and 3), more grip! What to air down to is entirely dependent on your tire/wheel size combination.

[@josecuervorok]

Where can I get a t-shirt?

[@Trailsoffroad]

The current best way right now is show up to events and ask. But we are working on a store for the website.

[@shanejpt]

android app please.

[@Trailsoffroad]

Good news!! The beta version should be here any day/week. :)

[@michaeljennrich8527]

I have your app and you list stock SUV can make this. I have a stocked subie forester w/A/T tires and can air down. Outside of recommending me to your website. Already a member do you think this is doable? Yankeehill area (not the hill) to central city?

[@Trailsoffroad]

Overall it wouldn't be a wise idea. Especially now that there the trail is torn up a bit more then normal.

[@modz_king_]

What app are you guys using

[@Trailsoffroad]

TrailsOffroad, but we also use Gaia for the initial run of the trail.
