Adventuring the popular local Goat Trail.
Simple water crossings, except for the big one at the END!!!
river rock along the side of the mountain and on the trail make for a slippery ride when wet.
Most 4x4 capable vehicles will have no problem.
No tight turns, and very little to no trail rash encountered.
Duration: 35-40 minutes
THE WATER CROSSING AT THE END IS IMPASSIBLE WHEN THEY HAVE RELEASED THE DAM UPSTREAM, DO NOT ATTEMPT!!!

Smart move turning around! You would have been swept away for sure!!!! Great video!
No point losing a rig to a water crossing!
Yes there is beavers and otters in NC and Tn
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
you made the right call; water 1 foot deep flowing at 25mph has the pressure equivalent of wind blowing at 790mph! Even at a low speed of 5mph, 1-2' deep water can carry away even the largest vehicles with a vertical buoyancy force of 1500 pounds per foot of water and 1000 pounds of lateral force. So you'd be fine if you're driving a tank lol. I definitely would have turned around as soon as i saw that too.
They release a dam upstream if it’s been raining a couple days. So we will try it once it’s been dry for a while!
We did hurricane creek today, from what the people we were following said it is a lot more challenging than it was last year. It's our first trail that wasn't just a gravel road with some mud and we loved it. I have a stick gladiator rubicon with 33x12.5x17 baha boss MT tires and it handled it like a champ. Rocks are bigger in person that it looked like in your video but still fun.
Yes we have river otters and beavers in Tennessee, I live in west Tennessee and used to wheel a xj In the early 2000s in middle Tennessee and just bought a 2 door jk I’m building up and looking forward to getting back out there. I’d like to get more in that area and out west, I’ve never been farther west than hot springs Arkansas I recently found your channel and really enjoy it, maybe I’ll meet y’all on a trail in the future.
After you’ve done enough trails in a manual it’s not an issue. I purposely swapped my Ramcharger from auto to a 5 spd manual. The 5.61 1st gear works great in rocks w/o the big jump a 4-1 Rubicon t-case has in other gears.
The TRAIL WAS NOT MUCH but the rock cliff overlook was beautiful 👍
Thanks for sharing the adventure always got to explore new country whether you ever go back or not!
thanks so much for watching
Thumbs up on Safety first, always a wise choice !!
Yeah, thanks
I'll be back to check into that last side trail next to the river. I remember seeing that on my trip there and wondered what was there. It looks fun! And hello from a fellow WNC native!
howdy!
Great off-roading
There is otters and beavers here.. we ride them rds and others all the time with our lil group.. my group is all in east TN.. the majority of us are careful with There rigs.. I myself like a good challenge.. we just don't have that here.. wish I knew you were going I would have tagged along
Looks like you guys had a great time! Sorry I missed it!
Next time for sure! We are ready for some new off road adventures
Excellent video!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Gracias
You all are great love the video.
thanks
Luna you as lways show great scenery and your the best scenery in your videos
Would love to wheel with you , just getting into a 4x4 rig and wanting to learn some trails !
That view is beautiful !!! Love yalls videos and hope we can meet up some day and ride. Me and my wife live in north Florida.
That would be cool!
You guys are pretty close to us if you are from Ashville area. We just across the line in SC if heading South. We enjoy you guys videos.
So nice trial and well done explained!!!!
Im from texas and I would like to go there with my 16 GMC Sierra denali 💯👌🏽
Yeah, we Love Texas
Wait this is in WNC 😳😳🤘🤘👍 sweet I live an hour south of Asheville and have been looking for off-road trails
yeah, we live in Asheville NC
Selamat mlm dulurku joszz pokoknya keren ofroad, salam alat berat buat dulurku semuanya🙏
Marlin is the man. He always has good content.
thanks bro
Definitely otters bro. We call them River pups lol😂❤
There are beavers in NC. I was almost attacked by one at South Mtn some years back. It didn't want a nut but it did want me to give it more space.
seeing one and an otter in nature is all Luna can talk about. I can't wait for her to see it so I can stop hearing about it 😂
How come this GPS coordinates do not work at all I e tried many ways …?
There are Otters in South Carolina. They are in the rivers often seen.
That river was probably too fast for your light 2 door Jeep. If it was heavy like a 4 door or Gladiator you would probably make it.
how does one get here, you said there would be some directions?
They have otters at grandfather mountain
Great video and beautiful ride. Question tho... what do you follow the jeep in front of you so closely. I thought it was common to gap the rig in front of you as much as the one in front of them. Very common when riding in a group of bikes as it shows the comfort level to the one you're following as the relative distance they give themselves to the bike their following. Anyways....just a thought.
Cordinence...NICE!!!
thanks
Thanks for the video! I’m waiting on my 22’ 4XE Rubicon order. I’ve never done off-roading before but want to start. Is that water at the end of the trail? I need a safe exit strategy if it’s bad when I go. Thanks!
It is definitely water! If you dont want to be carried away by the current I suggest backing out and turning back.
How do you get to this trail
I love the goat trail... 🐐 right in my back yard too.
wow you are lucky, thats a very nice trail
@@offroadnchill you said you like it better than hurricane, it's really in my back yard.. but not been in a little while, waiting on my locker install coming up. Is they a reason you like this one better
2 or 4wd in those trails are not about being able to do it in 2wd but to keep the terrain from getting torn up. What's easiest on the trail. The erosion from the rain is bad enough. Spinning tires doesn't help. Tread lightly is also easier on the running gear too. We plan to hit this trail in July.
Did you get the coordinates for the trail you hit after the overlook? The one close to the river? That looked fun.
No shame in not crossing that water. Grew up in an area with a few of those and can't count how any times people have been hurt or killed trying to cross after bad weather. The easiest trails and crossings can become evil with two inches of rain in 24 hours. As far as wildlife, beavers are making a comeback, otters would be very, very rare. I bet that easy trail would be fun in the dead of Winter with about 12 inches of snow on it;)
It definitely adds difficulty! And we made the right call. No boat jeep for now!
Do you drive your Jeep to your destinations or do trailer it?
Yes there's beavers and bears out there
Yessssss
I-40 goes all the way to Barstow, CA by the way.
Definitely beavers and otters in western NC 😁
we have never seen one in person
Need a little info. By the coordinates you gave on x has this listed as buzzard roost road. Is this the same?
yeah, same place but people call it different ways
Off trail again. It’s not an optional trail, it’s a pirate trail. Stay on the trail and they won’t get closed. Caney Fork, Rich Mountain Fire Tower trail, already closed for crap like that.
Did you air down any? Seems like you slipping and spinning, I know from video it looks better than it was but still just asking
yeah, we were at 15 psi
60 + yrs in hard core wheeling in the 11 western states i'd wheel with u an your honey any where. these last few vids have been your best ever
thanks, we really appreciate it
Yeah very wise decision not to go across that cuz it would have took you over the edge moving that fast and that deep without a doubt
Excellent choice to not cross that river. Way too much water flow. Live to wheel another day.
We agree!
Looks like a well equipped pick up truck can handle that trail
I’m from NC & would love to meet up with y’all
of course but we are never here anyways, for example this weekend we are going to be at Gulches Off Road park in South Carolina, please follow us in Instagram @offroadnchill because we always post the nest event we are going to be at
Do you still have the 2 white Jeeps?
yes we do
does anyone have the coordinates of hte river crossing?
you mean the one at the end?
@@offroadnchill yes. Nevermind though i found it!
They do
Where is the entrance point to this trail?
oooof. Good question! Honestly if we didnt have a local take us there I wouldnt be able to tell you! Reach out our buddy Adventuruss on IG or youtube he took us
what psi are you running off road?
depends on the situation. This is not a difficult trail to us, and we did not trailer the jeep. To avoid to taking up a bunch of time to air down and air up before heading home I believe we were at 30psi.
That was I40 between Tennessee and NC.
yeah, exactly
@@offroadnchill I used to live in NC and I have traveled I40 foe years.
Cool video, but a couple pointers. Instead of tearing everything up trying to do things in 2wd, you could help preserve the trails a bit more for everyone else by using your 4wd. Also maybe give the lesser vehicle in front of you a bit more room to maneuver instead of being on their ass. These are just a couple proper edicates of 4whln. Sorry dont mean to harp, but a little goes a long way..Have Fun and b safe..👍
thanks for your help and you are totally right
Definitely a time and place for 4 Hi and 4 Lo.
I thank God for not making me a w*man
Where in north Carolina?
The coordinates are in the video. But we’ve heard it called Goat Trail/12 mile trail.
@@offroadnchill yea those coordinates won’t work in Gaia or Google 🤔
What town is this near in nc?
That was I40 between Tennessee and NC
Basically out by Buzzards Roost overlook
Love❤️ from india🌠
Hello bro
hey, thanks for watching
are you also from India?
Should always be in 4WD when on the trail, 2WD damages the resource excessively
👍👍👍👍
thanks
Thanks for showing it, but 4RUNNERS! are very capable, I would say more like Honda CRV or Toyota Rav4
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Lol she wants to see a beaver
yeah lol
From your voices, I'm guessing you guys are from either Miami or Hialeah.
Hialeah lol
Yeh definitely not from around here types......have no clue what yall are doin. Not being mean. ...its just that inexperience is what gets people hurt. Take people who know whattheyre doing and learn from them....just saying.
@@michealtorres8598 I disagree … there doing great and I’m from around here just down the road
You have a bad habit of keeping your left hand thumb inside the wheel.
So what’s the deal are you two a item ?? Seen her in the last few vids ?? Bad a$$ another Jeep Chick 😉
An item? Yeah you can say that. 😎
the title should be.... "when city slickers can afford 4 x 4 vehicles.."
Michael anyone ever tell you your kinda of a jerk ??
Like the videos but there is one thing you do to much of in your videos to much talking
That’s super nice of you! Thank you!
Enjoyed your video. I would only ask that you don't do what you did at the 14:00 minute mark. Going off the road/trail and taking off into the woods is not responsible off road behavior. It damages surrounding areas and will get areas closed down. Please consider that you not only did that for yourself that day, you showed it to all the viewers of this video which sends out the message it's ok to do it. Thanks.
The chick driving was annoying af.
"We'll only need 2wd"
"2wd is all that's necessary"
No less than 5 mins in it's in 4wd lmfao.
Luna are u single
no, Luna is my wife
@@offroadnchill yea u wish
Its a shame you ruined a great trail ride by talking so much!
Sorry you feel that way Bacon Strips!
Man..can't watch for the lady talking like she knows everything and don't no nothing ..
I know plenty, and I’ve never said I know everything. You’re welcome to not watch :)
Thanks for the comment!
My wife and I are Jeepers from near Raleigh, NC area. We plan on going to Winnrock and back to Nemo possably with both Jeeps. My JK and her Renegade. (Her Renegade is lifted and has A/T tires. It does everything my JK does.) We would love to take a detour on the way and hit this trail. We loved the footage from that spot overlooking I40.
