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.
If you make the list I'll pin the comment
@Revere Overland it's a 9 minute video. How lazy can one be??
Smoky Mountain Road
Elephant Gap Trail
Long Canyon Loop
Wild Horse Road
Onion Creek Road
Good lord 😂
The epitome of lazy.
5th 0:51 smoky moutian road
4th 2:15 elephant camp road
3rd 3:26 the loop
2nd 5:13 a few trails
1st 7:12 onion creek road
Were any of these closed by BLM with the recent closures?
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
I know some of that route. Ive ridden bikes in Moab a few times.
I need to write that down before next time.
Thank you for the video. This is my only bucket list for me, driving North West and see America before I die.
Thanks for sharing your very well curated top 5 Utah overland trails. This has been a great tool for us when we were planning our recent trip to Utah.
Enjoyed your video! Southern Utah is my favorite place for off roading and making videos.
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
Beautiful Trails - I Hope To Do Them One Day
In the planning stages of a trip to Utah, this was very helpful, thank you!
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!!!👍👍🤠🥳🥳🥳
2/24 update on Schafer and Long canyon. Both were in good shape and I could do with my Subaru just fine
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.
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.
Should make a part 2 of cool trails in Northern Utah!
Justin did the northern trails in his video!
Picking five favorites is impossible, we spent a month in the area last summer and every time we thought we found our new #1 favorite trail, we found another #1.
Right! Same with campsites.
@@RevereOverland Oh, I have a favorite there, Devil's Kitchen!
That is a dream scenario, good for y'all
Awesome video!
thanks for sharing.
good answer and Im there right now breaking in new gears. Uploading a full walkaround of Trail Mater its loonng but Rory was in rare form. lol. Great video and spots.
Nice! Perfect state for it.
@@RevereOverland your doing a great job on the channel man. stay up.
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 .....
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.
It will fit your cinematic talents perfectly.
Hit us up next time you are in southern utah!
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.
Such a great and informational video! Thank you for sharing and we appreciate your time and effort that it takes to make videos this quality.
We travel the country full time in our travel trailer and have been using our RAM3500 dually truck for all of our adventures. We would love to explore some of these awesome overland trails but I’m not quite sure if our dually truck would do so well given the width and weight of the vehicle. However, we have been slowly turning it into an overland vehicle as we drive up to a lot of mountain biking trails heads. Curious to hear your thoughts about a dually truck as an overland vehicle in general?
- Dom
So can I do most of these with a lifted AWD Sienna? Or am I better off in a 4Runner?
define unskilled driver....
I feel like I'm constantly saving videos by you and Justin for reference when I can get out West
Man, I’ve got to get out there to Utah in the next year. AMAZING video as usual. 👊🏼
Hey I live in utah and me and my wife would love to tag’s along and make some videos
Loved the video, i just got a gmc 2500 at4 diesel truck, what traul should i start on
Thinking about just laying my sleeping bag on top of my tonneau cover instead of pitching a tent...are bugs a problem out there in April? Any other tips for camping in a pickup truck when out there?
Why do you follow so close getting the dust from the truck in front ,are you scared of getting lost ?
The second I hit the lottery, I am moving to UTAH... lol..
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.
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.
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?
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?
Which tour guides would u guys recommend ?
The very few people part is changing quickly, the secret is out. Overall great video
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.
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🤷♂️😊👍
Picking just 5 was hard to do. I actually had 10, but decided to narrow it down!
@@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.
0:20 is a fantastic view! That's really here? Where at, if you dont mind me asking
Very last drone shot from above the ledge was incredible!! Going to check out a few of these later in the year !
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.
This video makes me want a drone.
I love the drone footage on these!!
Brilliant summary. And as always great placement of cameras to get the best views of the trail. That includes great use of drone angles. 👍
Now we wait for Colorado's 10 overland trails.👍
That’ll be the next top 5 video!
@@RevereOverland I do not know how you are gonna pick 5 trails in Colorado. I am so excited to see what you come up with!
where can i see the trails? and follow them.. any map or application?
Thank you. Fine job. Regards from Ody Slim
Hi, quick question, do i need a permit to drive off road in Utah?
Not in a road legal passenger vehicle. If you’re in a side by side or other off highway vehicle you do.
beautiful overlanding trails 👣 😍
If you want to get there- drive a Jeep. If you want to get back home, drive a land cruiser or lexus.
You guys both do a great job! GX 460 you need to come to Utah, you may never go back to Cali😂
@@imacougar9281 where do you recommend in UT for trails??
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD I love Onion Creek in Moab. Not technical but beautiful with many water crossings.
I would put these as average roads ,good driving
excellent recommendations.. i'm sure you're a busy new Dad, but when's the next (family) trip? cheers !
Next family trip is in February, but there's a Colorado trip we took that still needs to be edited.
Very few people???
I have a 2022 Jeep Cherokee Limited with the AD1 (No Low Range / No rear locker) and would love to do these. Any ideas on if it would have any issues? Doesn't look too rocky at all which is my kind of trails I would love to do.
Gorgeous... other words matter...
This was a great video. Thank you!!
Would like to have a name for you besides ‘that guy on revere overland’
Lol. Rob. Although I’m ok with “that guy on Revere Overland”
Great video. Thanks! Gotta get there.
Awesome list and very helpful! What is the trail at 8:31? That shot looks particularly incredible
Cottonwood Canyon
@@RevereOverland thanks!
Trail locations ?
you really gotta state where the drones were... we dont care if they were or werent in the park, were not gonna tattle on you
You might not, but I’ve had someone report me to the NPS before… despite clearly being outside the park.
@@RevereOverland Actually, as I understand the rules, you CAN fly the drone over NPS land, but the operator has to be outside of the park. However, rangers may still apply other regs to bust you if you do this.
@@markweaver1012 that is true, but my drone isn't in the park at all. I don't want people to see my drone in the park and think they're allowed to fly in that park!
Incredible Video!
great list!
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.
Yes, unless you’re unlucky (or have driver error like us)
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.
@@SGT12XU it must have changed since I last did it. Thanks!
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.
@@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?
Are lockers a needed? Rear? front and Rear?
Lockers weren’t used on any of these trails
@@RevereOverland Thanks for the quick response. Appreciate your content.
Going to Utah and looking for a overland TRUCK for 1 week and I would love to find something to explore out side path so 4x4 for 2 adultes
