      You should see the drone shots I got on my latest Union Springs video this year! So many great views in that area. 😍

    Great video, thanks for sharing. Love the union springs flagpole knob trails. Took my KL from Switzer lake to flagpole knob and then back down 85a. it's not a trailhawk so didn't press it. Good to see the trailhawk battling the couple little rock segments on Union Springs trail. Those little buggers are more capable than people give them credit for. Then i took the tj next trip and did union springs as well as the lake side trails.

      So much fun down there. We didn't have time to go down to Switzer Lake like we planned, had to high tail it to Canaan to make camp before dark. Next time though!

    Just did Union Springs to Flagpole Knob this past weekend. Planned to come down to Switzer lake but that road was closed. Great video.

      Nice! We were planning on taking the road down to Switzer when we were there. Didn’t see any signs at that time in August. We were outta time tho and had to get off the mountain 😅

    Try driving from flagpole round after dusk in the fog gdown union springs rd. I did that this past September. Yook me 2 hours to make it down the mountain driving in my Colorado zr2. The double locking differential button came in handy that night.

      @@azfersaeed1602 wow this comment was a while ago. believe it or not, I actually blew up the rear differential, not sheared splines in the hub lol (wasn’t sure at the time). Honestly it’s not a hard trail, I think the combination of the already blown CV and some extra throttle to get over the obstacles with 3 wheel drive did it

      @@theycallmejim9643 daaang, blowing a differential is no joke. How did you get home? I've done the trail a few years ago so I am familiar with it which is why I am surprised you sustained that kind of damage. Was your CV not working even before and you still went?
