- On the next leg of our Arizona Adventure we leave the Kofa Wildlife Refuge and head towards the Bradshaw Mountains. We explore some easy, technical trails, encounter several obstacles that lead to mechanical issues and breakdowns, and a get up close and personal with good amount of mud along the way. We also enjoy some good food and even better friendship around the campfire each night.
Part 1 of this adventure: • Adventure into Arizona...

I grew up in Arizona and in the late 70's and early 80's. My friends and I all had 4 wheel drives and we would take off from school on Friday afternoon and not get back home until Sunday evening. It never got old. No cell phones or internet just our camping gears and guns. Our parents never worried either, my how times have changed. We would go to Rocky Point and camp out on Sand Beach, those days are gone.
Thumbs-Up for the lady running up the hill with a fuel-pump!
I have been wheeling the Bradshaw's for decades and it never gets old. There is always something to discover.
I'm looking forward to getting back out there again soon and see what else I can find!
@@TrailRecon You will find a lot of amazing trails, vistas and snakes.
XJs make the wheeling look easy. They are so easy to place and avoid most objects. Great video.
It was great watching them in action on this trip. Thanks!
The Xj is awesome! One of my favorite grills they put on them.
Another awesome video, Brad! Thanks for coming along and doing such an epic job covering our adventure!
Thank you buddy for leading such an unforgettable adventure!
Love the red XJ!
Brad is the king of eating other trail members food!
LOL! I'm not going to turn down a hot meal!
I lead several trips out of the Wickenburg area. Both sides by sides and Jeep. Been over those roads several times . Always a new adventure,,
Awesome to see you playing in my backyard, it was weird to hear my hometown get mentioned in a youtube video. Glad to hear y'all had fun. Loved the video.
XJ's, love watching them wheel. I sure miss mine but glad my grandson now owns it and wheels with his buddies. Brad, you made that mud hole look easy. Great vid. My group is now looking into this area for a future trip.
I love the AZ landscapes!
I never would have imagined Arizona to be so green or wet. Great scenery and awesome trails.
It was truly incredible!
Don't forget the snow! Northern AZ, gets a lot of snow. And Flagstaff never gets that hot in the summer.
Yup! Every 1000 to 1500 feet of elevation gain takes you to a different biome, from Saguaro cactus around Phoenix (1600ft. elevation), to Pinyon/Juniper chaparral around 3500-5500 ft., to Ponderosa Pine along the Mogollon Rim (the largest uninterrupted stand of Ponderosa Pine in the lower 48 states) and the Bradshaws, to Douglas Fir and Blue Spruce at 9000 ft. along the Kaibab Plateau north of the Grand Canyon. There's even a patch of alpine tundra on the peaks of Mt. Humphreys and the San Francisco peaks, the edges of the blown-out volcano looming over Flagstaff! The inner basin of that mountain is definitely a destination to pencil in on TrailRecon's Arizona agenda! Just bear in mind that the season in which it can be visited is relatively short due to its elevation and sheltered nature.
You have influenced my outdoor life in so many ways. I am a nurse for quadriplegics, I use your videos for the request of my patients. One of my patients asked/said drone camera work might make you work a little easier. In San Diego drones made easy might help train you if you are interested. You can set the drone to follow you. You have such great footage, you are appreciated so don’t think this a dig, my patients just want more of your great travels
Thank you so much for the great work you are doing and it's great that some of your patients are enjoying my videos. I have a drone and my son has his license to fly it commercially and we use them when we can, but there are a lot of limitations these days.
I love watching your videos.
Makes me think of my young adulthood days. I grew up in and wheeled Arizona.
Man! This looks like such a good time!
Arizona is amazing
Love that the back of the Toyota that broke down said "Go Prepared" and someone else had the fuel pump. I guess sometimes going prepared is a team effort! LOL
i literally laughed out loud haha the ironies in life are amazing
@@Ihavetopoop718 ram ball mount
Thnx for sharing the adv! I was just down there playing for a couple weeks, I feel fortunate to have seen a water-logged AZ
Love that loop we spend so much time back there since it is so close. Glad you were able to spend sometime and see what Arizona has to offer. 🌵
What trail is this? Do you know where the trailhead is? Thanks.
@@JimmyDevere it’s a series of them but Bradshaws grave is near Wickenburg Mountain loop too many trails to connect pick your own adventure! 👍
@@AZXplorers Thanks for the info. Are you a 4x4 club? I'm in N AZ.
That was Great Brad, good history lesson on the Bradshaw mountains, Arizona Boy , Black Bear Pass 2022 in my 5th gen 4Runner 2016 Trail edition . Keep up the great work.
Driving down that flowing wash was next level, but I %100 agree about the mud. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸
5:11 that was genuine, Brad.
Great video! Brad's vidoes are at a very professional.
Thank you!
the odds of some body having a fuel pump on the ride lol awesome. and good thinking
What an incredible trail with (I’m sure), an equally amazing group of folks. I hope my wife and I are lucky enough one day to join a similar group for a fun adventure and unforgettable experience . Great video as per usual Brad, so grateful you produce them.
Love all the videos and rigs, but the JKU that started it all is still my favorite too.
Backway to crown king was beautiful. Right up in those Bradshaws.
I like the red tires at your campsite there. They look good your Jeep Brad
Looks like an amazing adventure! And I love seeing those old jeeps and toyotas out on the trail.
That for the inspiration to get out outdoors again.
Wow so beautiful! What an amazing adventure. You are inspiring and the landscape out there is amazing…ty! 😎🥾🥾
Another great video of AZ back country. We have a lot of different sceneries here and all can be had in a day or two. I need to plan another adventure up to the Bradshaws again, soon. Thank you Brad for such a great video.
You need to come to the White Mountains of Arizona in the summertime. There are not a lot of technical trails up here, but you will never experience more wildlife and beautiful scenery anywhere.
this was an awesome watch. thank you for sharing with all of us. I can't wait to travel arizona like this
Awesome video..thanks for taking us with you❤❤
Nothing like combing home from a camping trip to a great video like this!
I love the AZ landscapes! Super stoked for the next episode!
one thing I learned in Maine off roading. when in the mud do not let off the gas. you will get stuck. keep the momentum going. great video
Adam with the XJ was one of the first guys I met in the Overland Community in 2017. He was working for Blue Ridge Overland Gear then. They are based out of of Bedford where I live. He is a great guy and remember him going through all the ups and down of putting a diesel engine in that XJ. Awesome guy with an awesome rig.
Inspirational video! 👍🏼
Thanks so much!
awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thank you for joining me!
Hi Brad, really liked this video. Thank you for sharing.😊
Awesome video! Looks like a blast!
Thank you for inviting us..... More
the az sonoran desert is a beautiful place, ive been across kofa and the bradshaws, including the bradshaw trail and grave, you have to be there to get the az feel with so many destination points of interest, and incredible views, your video gives that same feel, thanks for posting again brad!
You were very fortunate to do this type of trail while the wash was running. A rare occurrence in Arizona for sure!
There is no way I can drive like you all did in this amazing video! even with good vehicle. Thank you for making such video and for me, there is a lot to learn from it.
Two minor breakdowns with that many rigs and that many miles? That's a win. And it's always a good idea to carry a spare fuel pump and ignition module. That was one lucky save for the Toyota!
That taco owner with the super soakers mounted on his bedrack is a legend😂, true inspiration for us all
Great video. So good to see the jk out, enjoy cleaning it….
Dude you were in my hood...nice
What an adventure. WOW!! Thanks for taking us along and until next time... Travel safe.
Thanks for watching!
Spectacular trip. Definitely a place to come back to.
The filming is clear as a bell. Awesome views your so fortunate!!!!
Cool video. I have been to that Bradshaw grave site on my motorcycle. Very cool trails and I thought for a minute you were taking the back way to Crown King. That mud hole was small until 10 plus rigs ran thru it 😅
spectacular vedio as always
Another great adventure, I do miss seeing Marco on those with you.
This is one of your best videos. Love the variety of terrain and all the different vehicles. The trip looked like so much fun!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
This comment hurt my feelings
Wow ur Jeep just plowed through that mud crossing...that was awesome,another great video, thank you!!!
For me, this is your best video so far. Beautiful scenery, awesome trail with rocks, mud, water... 😁❤ I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you!
It's incredible, impressive the amount and quality of content you can produce even when you're alone. thanks for the video, here in Brazil
Awesome video Brad!!
Nice scenery and great too see different kind of 4x4.
Congratulations and see you in the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You always do such a great job capturing and then conveying a story! Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you very much!
March 25th i was helping with the crown king scramble, and we had water flowing and water falls in the crown king area. I never went on trail that my 2wd f150 would have a problem. Still had snow on the ground as well as alot of big puddles on the road.
It gives me a big smile to see the rain and flowing water. That saguaro with the weird arms looked very familiar, but I have only seen the ones able to be accessed by 2wd
F150 and F250. But there are so many saguaros out there.
There are so many wonderful trails in arizona.
Brad does it again! Another great adventure video. Appreciate you buddy.
Thank you so much!
Just about as good as it gets. Awesome, Brad!
One of my favorites so far Brad. Thanks for sharing that was awesome. I might have to put that on my list when my boys get out of the Army next spring and we head out that way.😊
Thank you so much and thank you for your service!
The white 392 barreling through the mud gave me a serious Camel Trophy vibe.
Great video as always.
I love in southwest Arizona and can go from cactus to pine trees in a 40 minute drive, love it
Glad you enjoyed Arizona so much and it left such an impression on you to return. I've been camping year round out here for about 27 years now and haven't even scratched the surface of every trail to explore. And, I also agree, I prefer Ham over GMRS... much better communication option. Cheers! Pete in Arizona - KI7LIL
One of your all-time best, Brad!
Thank you!
I love seeing XJ’s out there just cake walking on what looks like no bigger than 33’s!
Brad is a genius at video creating . Keep it up !
Love that you’re still lovin the jku!
What a great video! Looks like a blast. Love watching your trail videos. Such a cool adventure!
How fun! Thanks for the video!
I love watching your adventures. Helps me plan for my future travels. I'm down in Central Florida, so I dream of heading out west one of these days.
I LOVE this channel!
That was my back yard when I was a kid growing up
Love it!!!!
Brad, I'm down to meet up in AZ. My XJ is almost ready. Been rebuilding and upgrading for the last 2 years (as $$permits) all the while watching you and others having the time of your lives! I'm just a few more parts away from being able to keep up. Need a lunch box locker for the front, some sort of fender flare solution, and a tire carrier. Man, you capture these adventures like no one else (well need to include Dirt Lifesyle too). Wait, was the trail leader drinking a coors light in the morning? LOL Happy trails....
Great adventure.
Awesome looking adventure!
Awesome video Brad! Just lying in my rooftent on my jk while it's raining outside and watching your video. This is incredible cool. And it looks like you had a great adventure in AZ.
Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like you're in the perfect setting to watch it.
Very cool video. We have a lot of snow here but can’t wait to go do some trails this spring and summer. Thank you for all you do 😃
Thank you!
Bradshaws are amazing love climbing from the saguaros to the pines. When you said Wickenburg Bradshaw's resting place was my guess.
What a perfect trip!
Some pretty cool stuff... thanks for all the footage of the Cherokees. But the reason for the comment... I love seeing the silver beast out on the trails again. We missed her... she is DEFINATELY Trail Recon.
Another great video.
This is the kind of video i like! Overland trips. Challenging ones are the best in my opinion. The kind you used to do. Glad to see you in your JK. I’ve wanted to see how it would do after your upgrades. I really enjoyed it! Especially the water crossing. We just need Marcos
Awesome adventure.
Cool trails.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
im loving this content mate. all the way from the pilbara Australia 👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome, thank you!
what an awesome trip Brad! So stoked you got to check new places out. As rad as lots of rain for the area was I am so not a fan of mud either. Nice job flooring it through the mud though !!
That was a great video!! Always feel like I'm there with ya!
I had a blast and thanks
Thanks for joining me!
Fun video! Thanks Brad-
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Brad, great scenery, keep up the good work ,I really enjoy it. I live in the Tucson Area, there’s great wheeling here also. Chiva Falls, Chimney Rock , Bull Springs, Charlou Gap, And many more just to mention a few
