- Join us as we head into the Arizona outback, into the stunning Kofa Wilderness in southwestern Arizona between Quartzite and Yuma. Be prepared for epic campsites, blazing sunsets, and craggy mountains. The Kofa National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area in the Sonoran desert that, believe it or not, is loaded with wildlife, including bighorn sheep, gila monsters, and many small animals. It's also the home of the mighty saguaro cactus. This area is full of pioneer and mining history and you'll find plenty to see including the old cabins, mining ruins and museum, and a desert landscape that is worthy of an overlander's bucket list. The trail we took through the region was created by Overland Trail Guides and you'll definitely want to carry extra fuel with you on this trip. Stock 4WD vehicles are fine but be prepared for narrow trails with lots of brush in certain areas. Beware of pinstriping!

Hey guys, welcome to Season 2. If you'd like to participate in our Trail Trivia Giveaway, check out our Giveaway landing page at: xploradventure.com/giveaways/.

For each question you answer (incorrect or not), you get another entry into the drawing. So check back regularly for more videos, or better yet, turn on the notifications so you know when a new video drops! Thanks for your support, we appreciate it very much.
Another great adventure - beautiful sites to look at! Looks like you're living your best lives :)
Thanks Lorrie, you and Scott should come with us sometime!
Awesome video! Hated for your journey to end!
So glad you enjoyed it! There's more to come so stay tuned. Part 2 will be out soon.
Great video! As Yumans and fellow 4runnerians we have been out to the spiral labyrinth, it is a great place! Never knew about skull rock, its now on our "go to" list, thanks! At 12:18 on the video there is a faded painted turtle rock, that was our offering for the labyrinth...thanks for taking us along on this adventure! 😊
Thanks, it’s always nice to meet fellow 4Runnerians! It was our first time down in your neck of the woods and we really enjoyed it. We appreciate you watching and commenting!
I’m totally up for it sometime!!
Great video. Funny how being subscribed to over 200 channels of off roading, motorcycle travel, camping and hiking videos it's always a bummer when there is no "cooking at camp" scenes. Well, you guys have that covered...really enjoyed the narration, the cooking and the trivia is a nice touch. Look forward to more from you, keep up the great work!

Thanks Erik, really appreciate the nice comments and you made Jamie's day by saying you appreciated the cooking! She really enjoys that aspects of our trips and I'm the lucky beneficiary of her excellent cooking! We appreciate you tuning in!
Fantastic video!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting - we appreciate it very much!
This looked like a lot of fun!
We had a great time and thanks for watching! Part 2 will be coming out soon, so stay tuned.
Just coming across your channel, and love it so far thanks and best wishes
Thanks so much for your kind words. Thanks for tuning in!
It's not pronounced sugwaro, it's suwaro.....
Thanks for that! I hate mispronouncing things.
Why would you camp right in front of it and deny others the unpolluted view or access to the cave? What a dick move!
It’s an actual campsite and nobody else came by. We got there at 7 pm and were gone the next morning by 9.
