I know this was a year ago but an offroad park. There will be every level of trail. Usually at least a couple tow companies that will go into the park and get you if needed but likely other people will help you.
I'm so down, let me get my tundra lifted and Its time to chew through that thing. That looks like a blast. Maybe even teach my wife with that course. 🤔
Yeah Its an awesome trail to learn on. Vehicles with a longer wheel base have a slighly more difficult time making it over/around the rock thats in the middle of the trail.
Yeah that was something new that I was trying out. I will probably do it in more of my videos from here on out. This is a fun easy day trip trail with great scenery.
@@Allianceoffroad yeah it was a great idea. Im still trying to see if I can get time off for Barrett. We will have 3 people out of the office on the Friday that yall are running the trail though.
@@Allianceoffroad you should try making a video. It was a little intimidating for the first few videos that I made, but we all have to start somewhere.
@NotICON Is there a spot where I can actually park a trailer.. My jeep has 4.88 gears so it's definitely not moving to quick. So I have a 16ft car hauler to tow it to places for offraoding.. Or is there a Home Depot or a other store parking lot relatively close so I can just unload there and rive the other 20 miles or so to location..
@@p.m4874 the trail head has some decent parking. If you get there early you shouldn’t have an issue parking the trailer. The trail comes out 1 exit down at Cisco Grove, so you can easily drive back to the trail head. The trail is probably covered in snow right now though, and probably won’t be accessible till late spring.
any type of recovery gear you would recommend for a first timer up here? I know it’s a beginners trail but I don’t want to test my luck lol. I have an 08 jk 2 door sport w a 3” lift on 33s but haven’t gotten around to a winch or traction boards yet
Don’t go alone is the biggest but of advice I can give. Tow straps and a winch are going to be you most used recover items if needed, and make sure to use a tree saver strap if you need to winch to a tree.
An accurate tire guage for airing down. An air compressor to air back up( Smitty built has a portable for around 90 dollars that will air up 33s) a shovel, a pair of heavy leather work gloves. Even a hand held 40 channel CB. Some cell phones don't work well in the hills. Spare gas can carrier mounted outside, so you don't breathe gas fumes. And a friend to go with, don't go alone. 2 jeeps are better than one . Have fun and be safe.
A 2 door on 33s shouldn’t have any issue. Depending on your experience level I would suggest going with somebody that’s familiar with the trail, and has some experience off road.
NotICON thank you for the response! Unfortunately it’ll just be the girlfriend and I but I’ll take the most conservative lines. Walking up and checking things out does the job most of the time.
Right now there is snow on the trail so you can't make it all the way up the trail. I had a buddy that went up there on Friday to check it out. I think mid to late June and the trail will be clear and good to go. I will probably lead a group up that way around that time.
It looks like a great trail to take beginners to challenge them as well. I never been there yet. It looks like all your friends did well. Another great watch~
This is what would be considered the “challenging” path up the trail. Once you make it to the top you can go down the back side of the mountain, and that’s the easy way down.
Off-road Chefs as far as beginner trails go, it’s one of the best. It has just enough to make it challenging for somebody that’s new to the sport. And the views at the top are absolutely amazing.
@@NotICON round trip or 1 way? I saw fordyce trail is nearby...prob a bit too extreme for me. any other trails nearby worth hitting in a day trip to the area? thanks for the reply!
So I think the back side of Signal Peak is closed down right now, so it’s an out and back the same way. Eagle Lake and Pierce OHV loop all starts from the same staging area. Eagle Lake shares the same trail head as Fordyce, but it doesn’t have the extreme rock crawling.
What trail do you take people too when they want to learn how to wheel?
NotICON bald mountain
I haven’t been to Bald Mountain yet, but it’s up there on places that I need to make it to.
I know this was a year ago but an offroad park. There will be every level of trail. Usually at least a couple tow companies that will go into the park and get you if needed but likely other people will help you.
I just bought a TJ. This spot looks great..
How is the off road trail to bowman lake?
This music makes me want to slash my own tires.
Thanks for the informative video. It is good to know there are beginners areas near home.
There are some pretty good ones within about 100 miles of Sacramento

Did it in my stock ram even the granite rock section.💪
Looks like so much fun . Cool video. Thanks for sharing. New sub here!
Thanks for the support. This is a really fun trail, even for experienced wheelers.
Nice vid. Like the intro with the drivers and vehicle! I need to hit a few of these easier trails for some relaxing wheelin days!
Yeah that was something new that I was trying out. I will probably do it in more of my videos from here on out. This is a fun easy day trip trail with great scenery.
@@NotICON I had a good idea huh! I think going to try and do a vid of Barrett.
@@Allianceoffroad yeah it was a great idea. Im still trying to see if I can get time off for Barrett. We will have 3 people out of the office on the Friday that yall are running the trail though.
@@NotICON Gotcha! Just wanted to extend the invite. If you can make it out would be cool!
@@Allianceoffroad you should try making a video. It was a little intimidating for the first few videos that I made, but we all have to start somewhere.
06:24 - "You made that look easy" LOL Thank God I didn't make it look hard.
Haha they make a pill for that!
Does this trail pop up on Google Maps? I can't find it .
This is the trail head. Dropped pin

That is not a fire look-out. It was used to signal trains on the railroad across the other side of Highway 80.
I would join the FB group, but I have an FJ.
You’re more than welcome to join the FB group. There are actually a several Toyota people in the group.
@@NotICON cool! Thanks man, I'll get on that right now.
would this be an okay trail to run for the first time in a jk sport with sliders and 33s no lift?
A 2 door on 33s shouldn’t have any issue. Depending on your experience level I would suggest going with somebody that’s familiar with the trail, and has some experience off road.
NotICON thank you for the response! Unfortunately it’ll just be the girlfriend and I but I’ll take the most conservative lines. Walking up and checking things out does the job most of the time.
Ive walked many obstacles to check out the lines before hand. Nothing wrong with walking things before you do them.
i was there lol
Hey when you going back out that way?im in the Roseville CA location with a WJ.
Right now there is snow on the trail so you can't make it all the way up the trail. I had a buddy that went up there on Friday to check it out. I think mid to late June and the trail will be clear and good to go. I will probably lead a group up that way around that time.
Me and a couple buddies gonna head up there friday
I'm in a 2004 WJ no lift and 31s. It has large plastic bumpers. Doable ?
Or should I take the Comanche?
Thanks for the terrible music. Trying to watch 4 wheeling.
It looks like a great trail to take beginners to challenge them as well. I never been there yet. It looks like all your friends did well. Another great watch~
Thank you for the support. It really is a great beginner trail that offers just enough of a challenge to push beginners out of their comfort zone.
I've heard there's an 'easy' path up there and a 'challenging' path... it looks like this is the challenging path?
This is what would be considered the “challenging” path up the trail. Once you make it to the top you can go down the back side of the mountain, and that’s the easy way down.
Did this trail with my f-150 fx4 on 33” and just a leveling kit during snow melt. Had 2 Jeep’s following. Fun drive! That rock sucks!
Yeah it’s a fun trail, but that rock gives longer wheel base vehicles a hard time.
It's cute how a Wrangler guy would think 33s are small tires. LOL Just teasing. Thanks for the video.
Well stock tires are 31-32 inches depending on the trim level. 33s on a 2 door are great though.
Is that trial just for Jeep’s of can a Tacoma make it up there
A Tacoma is more than capable of making it through this trail.
Loved the video man perfect content editing etc shit was on point for sure man
Thanks man, I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s A really fun trail
Just starting out here. Are there any groups you know of in Elk Grove, CA. Great video man can't wait to get out there.
That trail looks delicious for beginner! Heck yeah thats a lot of fun.
Off-road Chefs as far as beginner trails go, it’s one of the best. It has just enough to make it challenging for somebody that’s new to the sport. And the views at the top are absolutely amazing.
NotICON i agree man! Looks like everyone having so much fun. They loved it 😁 The beautiful sceneries is the reward
The scenery is always amazing.
Did it in my stock ram it was fun.
Yeah the trail isn't super difficult, but it has just enough of a challenge that a beginner will be pushed out of their comfort zone.
😍😍
Do you guys air down at all?
Everybody aired down to somewhere between 12psi-15psi
How long does it take to run this trail?
It’s not a super long trail, so depending on your ability you can do it in 1-2 hours
@@NotICON round trip or 1 way? I saw fordyce trail is nearby...prob a bit too extreme for me. any other trails nearby worth hitting in a day trip to the area? thanks for the reply!

Yeah its one of my favorites because of the scenery at the top. The mountain meadows are beautiful as well.
