Volcanic Off-Roading: Mogollon Rim to Cinders to Jacob Lake! Part 4 - Ultimate Adventure 2017

  • Part 4 of Ultimate Adventure 2017. We awoke on Day Five to a stunningly panoramic view from our campsite high atop the Mogollon Rim. With all of Arizona laid out below us we drank in the scenery before mounting our 4x4s and heading for Flagstaff, Arizona, to wheel one of the coolest natural features in the area. The Cinders area is just what the name implies: huge mounds of volcanic cinder, or less specifically, volcanic lava pebbles. With huge, towering mountains of cinders several hundred feet high and sprawling over a wide area, the group was turned loose to explore and hammer down on the throttle. Making sure to stay well clear of any vegetation, pretty much any line is allowed here so the rigs with more horsepower put on a really good show. And those that didn’t have power to spare put it in Low Range and did their best to putt up the steep slopes. With some fun under our belt, we hit the road because we still had over six hours to get to our campsite at Jacob Lake. On Day Six we awoke at 8,000-foot campsite and hustled over to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for a Griswold view of the rim and then aired down for 180 miles of dirt adventure driving, including a visit to the Grand Canyon at its most remote location accessible by motor vehicle. After that, it was more dirt into the night.

    Fred is perhaps one of the best presenters on MT and TH-cam. He could make a 3/8" drive socket wrench review entertaining.

      Unfortunately, Ultimate Adventure is boring despite who the presenter is. Fred hosted before and it was just as bad.

    I drove that exact route to the north rim like two weeks before you guys. It's probably a good thing. My son and I wouldn't have paid any attention to the Grand Canyon with all those rigs in sight

    I was originally very skeptical the new commentary and leader of this UA, but it seems like the commentary and editing got a bit better as it went. Also I think a ton of people would love to see Rick as slightly more involved.

  • @DirtSunrise
    @DirtSunrise 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The cool part about this area of the country is that every bit of this trip could be done on dirt, but I understand that with so many trucks and breakdowns they couldn't take the time to stick to dirt.

    Based on discussion in the previous videos (like of the camera crew's van) it looks like there are some bypasses that might let less-modified 4x4s make it. Is the route published somewhere?

    @adrianw3985 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I prefer the North Rim to the south, it's about 1000 feet higher and far less crowded... Point Sublime is a fun place to 4x4 to. Nothing difficult, but a nice place to camp out.

    Good stuff as always gents, but please... more wheelin' less sight-seeing. It's cool to mention some of the sights to give an idea of the trail/path the group is taking but we watch these specials to see some of the most capable off-road drivers in some of the most capable off-road vehicles... To this point it's been more like a Nat' Geo special than UA.

    • @langan9000
