- Dome Plateau 4x4 trail near Moab, Utah. This is a moderate difficulty off road trail for Jeeps, Toyotas, Fords, Nissans, and all makers of vehicles for off road adventures.
My name is Dewie Jones. I’ve been in a Jeep for 20 years, but I’m still trying to improve my driving skill set. New to being on camera and working on getting better at it. The goal of these videos are to show you a cool trail as well as give you insight into completing it yourself. Feedback welcomed!
Ok, so I finally rectified the failure in this trail guide and a 2021 update of the two most challenging obstacles. th-cam.com/video/nPgzny8kHec/w-d-xo.html
Ha, we too got lost at LA Boca Arch. Came in from the west and spent a lot of time roaming.
Great video
Thanks! I really like this trail that I’m debating going back to refilm it. Thanks for watching!
This is was still another Awesome video. The views are amazing.
Thank you! It’s one of my favorites in Moab
thanks for checking out this trail. .I usually do more extreme trails but I do like these trails, fun to explore and no one covers them.
It’s one of my favorites! I’m going to start covering less known trails weekly as I’m working on my editing speed. Thanks for watching!
Have a new Bronco Sport First Edition -- and we're looking for great places in Western CO and Eastern UT to explore - So glad we stumbled onto your videos! Love them. Clear, concise, honest. Great resource! Keep it up!
Thanks! I like that bronco sport and hope you do too! Maybe we’ll get someone with one to do some trail guides with us. Thanks for being here!

Love the nacho Jeep!
Thank man! It’s actually Dozer, a very similar color but slightly more yellow than nacho. I tried to order a nacho tho, but I was too late.
@@coloradomallcrawlers that’s still pretty cool color
You need more views on this, it's so good!
Thank you so much… this trail is one of my favorites and I wish more people knew about it. I tried to bring attention back on it by covering the overlook recently, but I’m not sure if that worked. Still, I’ll just have to come back here in the future with the crew and make an even better video. Thanks for the support!
Mr. J ,, thanks for the come back ,, sorry ,, I don't do/or have face book ,, your job sounds intrigeing to me ,, get to travel a lot ,, was otr ( my own truck) all of U.S. and half of Canada ,, ,, this is about the only way to get hold of me ,, my email ,, ,, be glad to read from you again or when some fun runs are about to happen ........

Ok, my email is dewiejonesmd@gmail.com. I’m a conductor and locomotive engineer... life is just crazy for me right now. I got to get my oil cooler replaced, figure out work, move to Phippsburg again. A bit stressed to get everything done... haven’t been able to edit the next video.
We have never done Dome Plateau. We did Top of The World some yrs back in a mostly stock (2” budget lift w/33” tires) JKU Rubicon. It wasnt that hard. We were by ourself and didnt see another vehicle all day. The view at the end was totally worth it.... I enjoyed your video of this trail a lot
Yeah! If it wasn’t for the issues my Jeep was having on this trip, I probably would have run it. However, I’m excited to get back there when Colorado’s trails start closing... might bring some of the Cherokees and others! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Enjoyed your video. Especially liked that you included maps throughout to show where you were. Very helpful. Look forward to seeing some of your other videos.
Thank you! I appreciate that and try to include Funtreks, TrailsOffRoad, or GAIA maps. I like using Funtreks because the authors are cool and gave me permission to do so. Thanks for watching!
Great job highlighting the trail! We have not run Dome Plateau yet, but will add it to our list for this fall. Thanks fo sharing.
Thanks so much! I think you’ll love it especially if you get to that overlook I missed. Can’t wait for this CORID19 stuff to be over so I can get back there myself.
Just watched your vid on Fins and Things. These 2 level 4 trails seem perfect for a beginner with a capable rig. Appreciate the vids man!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Good stuff, Dewie. Thanks for sharing this.
No problem! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video. Can't wait for this craziness to be over and go wheeling with you sometime
Yea, that sounds fun and hopefully I can learn some drone skills from you! Same, hopefully sooner than later.
nice shots! really beautiful trail! couple things we do religiously when wheeling is airing down and disconnecting. a great free feature to use on your phone is google offline maps, download the area you plan to explore and when you are out wheeling the satellite will still locate and help navigate a bit too, even with zero connectivity. i use that in conjunction with paper maps and it serves me well. we use those books also, but i have found the Benchmark map books by state to be by far the most helpful when exploring. the books you showed are great too, especially for beginners.
I agree, I use to air down religiously, but now I use it as needed (unless it’s a trail with a lot of sand, snow, or rock crawling). I do this because I need handicaps, otherwise I under rate difficulty. Also, a lot of new off roaders don’t carry compressors onboard. Yea, I know better about having off line maps (like when I lost my drone), but I know most aren’t going to have more than a Funtreks book or a print out from trails offroad so I try to keep it basic (plus it increases the likelihood of an adventure 😉). However, this was a rushed trip... got kicked out of Moab (which I agree with) and had planned on top of the world this day (had those maps already downloaded but wasn’t going to run it solo). Thanks for watching and appreciate your insights here! I’ll check out those benchmark books... I got Massey’s books, but they’re now all out of date.
@@coloradomallcrawlers i think airing down helps the longevity of your equipment also. i can totally dig exploring with lil or no info, we do it all the time and funny how you pretty much just find cool stuff wandering around out in the middle of nowhere. for the inexperienced i do not recommend this tho. we get lost on purpose but we are really never entirely lost, like you said, you know your way out and after a few trips you will know the area well.
Jeeping with Jenn & John Jeeping with Jenn & John yea, you are probably right... I compensate by going slower on wash board roads and I don’t run and gun like I use to with open diffs. This one is going on 8 years. Yea, that side adventure was fun for sure... I wrote the authors and suggested taking my loop from the overlook instead of backtracking. I wasn’t really lost either, but I definitely didn’t know where that outlook was... I do now tho 😂
Nice video! Did dome plateau a few years ago in my Mitsubishi Montero Sport with a 2" lift and 33s. Was a fun trail and we did the overlook over the river!
Nice and thank you! I’m still mad I missed the overlook but once my jeeo is back in wheeling shape, I’ll be out there as I live in Grand Junction currently. Thanks for watching!
@@coloradomallcrawlers I feel you there! I'm over here in northern Colorado, replacing some coolant seals and gaskets so I can hit the trails!
Thanks for sharing this video. I have a 2004 TJ with a 3" Teraflex lift and 33" BFG KO2's. I will be up there in July and it looks like the "step" sections of this trail will be a good warmup for doing Top of The World.
Yeah! Absolutely! Also, definitely check out the overlook on dome (I’m still mad I missed it... but I hope I made it clear where I should have turned here). Anyway, I might film top of the world on Thursday so if you want to see that video, keep an eye out.
@@coloradomallcrawlers Looking forward to it..... the only think that concerns me about Top of the World is that a couple of places it would be nice to have lockers, but I'm not going to that expense. Plenty of people have made it up without them.
@@markriggall383 yeah, my buddy did it in his renegade! It wasn’t easy tho.
I did Top of the world in a stock 2 door jk sport
Awesome!
It's a nice trail, but easy to get turned around in there. FYI, you can easily do Top of the World trail solo in a 2-door stock JK.
Yep, I know, but with my clutch issues and intermittent dying at the time of filming, I wasn’t going to risk it. We’ll go back and get the Cherokees on top of the world. Thanks for watching!
I never dared to tackle this trail with my 2500 Ram Tradesman the previous years i was in Utah, now that i have a Power Wagon, i'm all in for it and plan on doing it next year
Hell yeah! I love this trail… todays video was filmed on Dome Plateau so you can see some new shots of it if you want.
Man I can't wait, headed out to Colorado and then down to Moab next year in my F250. Haven't decided what month yet, but thinking late September or early October.
You will have a blast... we’re likely going back and filming some more in the winter! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! My wife and I camped and hiked southern Utah for our honeymoon and Dome Plateau was our first campsite, but we didnt make it past the fence about a mile in unfortunately. Heading back for redemption in April so I'm looking forward to it! What did you use to record most of this? The footage is crystal clear!
Have a blast! This was an early video so probably an iPhone 11 and GoPro hero 6. The key which helps is the sunlight… those don’t do well in low light but do great in bright sunlight conditions. Thanks for watching!
I hear Rage Against The Machine.
Lol, probably, my audio editing isn’t the best and I do love a little RATM when wheeling! I might have to watch this one to figure out which song I was listening to.
@@coloradomallcrawlers I felt like I found an easter egg in your video...lol.
Haha, yeah, I’m always like I’ll just mute this clip and put audio over it but I forget to. I do try to keep the outside clips just natural engine and surrounding sounds.
How long did this trip take?
Can you just pick out any spot to camp out for the night? Or is there specific spots and you HAVE to stay in those spots?
I believe you need to camp in established dispersed camping spots. Hope that helps!
Can a stock awd suburban go on this?
I think you’d have problems on yellow Jacket canyon and some washed out parts. If you go with someone, have recovery gear, and make good decisions, then maybe, but I believe your vehicle is at risk.
@@coloradomallcrawlers thanks for heads up
The real question is who’s filming you from the outside if you’re the one driving 🤔😅
Haha, it’s really tricky doing it alone, but the drone does an ok job of following. The first take of that was way better tho, but I didn’t hit record 🙄
Oh no 😭 hate when that happens! But hey, you did an excellent job at filming it on your own with a drone! I definitely thought it was someone on the trail who helped you 😮
Dewie’s Colorado but hey if I’m ever in Colorado I won’t mind tagging along sometime! You’ve got a professional filmmaker here 😅🙏🏻
Alizoid that’d be great!
Dewie’s Colorado I could see us now a few years later! A couple hundred thousand subscribers... doing a colab in the middle of the desert somewhere 😅🙌🏻
How long did this trail take?
It depends, I’d say, plan for at least 6 hours, but you could make it a 2 day adventure. Or you could zip through it all in probably 4 hours.
