It's great how the video really portrays the different capabilities of each vehicle. Definitely empowering for the awd community, but also reveals how much less work it is offroading with a 4x4.
In the case of this trail, flex goes along way! And that’s why I’d rate this trail as “easy” for 4wd but moderate for AWD. On the Rutted climb, the Passport was lacking traction because of the lack of flex. You know me, I’m all about keeping it real 😉
Back in the 80's MTV music video era, I did a video (knock'n on heaven door) on top of a Moab butte. Choppered up crew/talent/equipment and camp out in the open overnight. The production hired a guard to stay awake all night to make sure no one went 'sleep walking'.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring The song was written by Bob Dylan. Several groups did 'cover versions' including G'nR. However, the music video I did was a cover by an Aussie Metal Group...Called "Heaven". Here's the TH-cam like to the video. Unfortunately, the visual quality sucks but you'll get the idea. th-cam.com/video/0sbWqMVwZmA/w-d-xo.html
I'm definitely one of those that always airs down even on easy trails, not just for ride comfort and my truck, but also helps to keep the trails in better shape. Driving badly rutted and wash boarded roads really aren't that much fun to drive even in a highly built offroad rig lol.
Thanks so much for making these videos! I have been considering getting the 22 Nissan Pathfinder for my family and I, but I'd still like to be able to do some overlanding like you guys are doing and this is one of my top spots I want to go. I didn't know if a vehicle like that would make it. I really appreciate that you guys are showing what can be done with an AWD / "Intelligent 4WD," good tires and driver skill. Thank you and Happy Trails.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring That's awesome, now rename the passport to Razor Crest, (as long as you're Honda doesn't recieve the same fate) I've been lurking your channel for years. Unfortunately i live in florida and far away from any overlanding areas. One day ill get a Offroad vehicle to camp out further out of state and more road trips. I have a group of friends all committing to road-trips and overlanding (most are already ahead with their vehicles of choice). Keep up the great channel!
Wow Jon what a fantastic camp site and a fun drive to it. Nice driving skills getting up the tough side of the gauntlet. Looks like you have a great group of companions to share all these experiences with. I hope to get out there someday to do the same kind of exploring.
That’s another place I want to go back to. I never made a TH-cam video about my trip there. I had just got my 2015 Subaru Forester XT back from having its CVT replaced, and when I was done with the trip I realized the transmission would most likely die again. Literally, the following day I traded it in for my 2019 Honda Passport. (I first tried to get into a Tacoma, but it was too small).
@@JonDZ_Adventuring I just posted a relatively quick edit from a short trip there on my channel I post all my off road stuff too if you are interested. th-cam.com/video/BjzF5WqfCsk/w-d-xo.html Nothing too fancy this trip. Just needed some dirt. I know the kaiporowitz and aquarius plateaus pretty well. If you need some beta hit me up for your trip planning
I also see on the map that Smokey Mountain Overlook and its not that far from there. I am going to be in that neck of the woods in a couple of weeks. Thanks for this. Its just going to be me as well.
You’re very welcome. I need to go back here! This was part of a 5 day trip to White Pocket and Moab and I wish I could have spent more time in this area. Take care out there by yourself. Some areas around Alstrom point had a little cell phone signal (AT&T). Might be good for you to know for peace of mind since you’ll be solo traveling.
Thanks @gwapotaco! You’re trip out there really really sparked my interest and I’ve been wanting to go ever since! I really want to go back and hit up the Grand Bench and possible drive north up to the Grand Escalante.
@@JonDZ_Adventuring @JonDZ Adventuring Funny you mention that! We drove through Grand Escalante up to the town Escalante. Beautiful trail and would be zero issues for your crew with one or two steep climbs but not rutted. I did it in one shot but wish I stopped for camp along the way. You drive on top of the buttes, through riverbeds, in between towering rock formations. We were by ourselves but it would be a blast with a group. Keep the videos coming! (P.S. - now that I remember - there is one section that was VERY steep and was taxing even in 4LO - lmk if you need help planning)

Good question Sean! I bought the fridge from Costco for $260!!!! The Manufacturer is Massimo, It’s 40L. I plug it into my 288wh power station via 110 because my power station is kinda of an older design and doesn’t have a 12v outlet

I’ve been trying to figure out whether I should get skid plate, AT tires, a lift - or even a new TRD Pro 4runner just for this trail. I’ll need to gain some off road skills - not for the sake of off roading but to visit places like this in a safe way with my family. I tried to do a trail recon here last Sep during a road trip to Telluride, but my Subie was in dealer for repairs. So I took my Accord went only as far as the salt mud area you mentioned in this video. Is Black Bear pass next??? And I learned about the poop tent from you in a different video. Thank you!
Haha! I LUV YOU TOO MAN! 🤣🤣🤣 hey, skid plates and tougher tires are always good first upgrades. I hate to bring up a recent incident that transpired over the weekend, but a couple from Arizona in a Forester blew 2 tires and were stranded in Death Valley. Unfortunately the Guy perished and his girlfriend is recovering in a hospital after being air rescued. Jeebus! Looks like they just had a stock Subaru. So... yeah man... sorry to be a buzz kill, but upgraded tires (with more sidewall) sound like a good idea. Skid plate to prevent an oil pan breach.
Wow. Where is that? My family might be going to Montana this summer in our *almost* stock 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser. It has gently larger tires and therefore has a 1/2 inch lift
I may have missed it in the video, but how long is the drive from the trailhead in BW to Alstrom Point? I know the mileage is about 26, but curious how long it should reasonably take assuming the road conditions are the same when you went. Thank you for any info
