- We spent a few days mapping the famous Rimrocker overland route. This trail connects Montrose, Colorado to Moab, Utah via primarily 4x4 roads. We wanted to share with you not only the cool bits and pieces of this amazing route, but how we map our trails, and how we collect our data. Come join us for a great time overlanding the Rimrocker Trail!
This is a how-to and a day in the life of a Trails Offroad contributor.

Thanks for posting this and doing all the mapping legwork. Plan on doing this one next year on our big wheeling trip to and throughout Utah!
That sounds awesome. What trails are you planning on hitting?
Y'all are absolutely nutty haha! That intro made me laugh. Thank you for creating these overview videos. We're downloading your files for GPS to do the Rimrocker in a week!
Thank you so much :) let us know how you enjoyed the trail when you’re done!
This is an excellent how to video.
I am heading the opposite Direction on this Sunday- Monday - Tuesday so thanks for the heads up on the trailer section.
We'll head up 2-mile road to the Buckeye reservoir.
Very cool Jim, we look forward to your trip report.
After pulling my m-416 from Georgia the last few miles were torture ! Honestly I think anticipation of Moab mixed with sadness of the end of the trail made each bump much worse than it actually was. I would not hesitate to pull my trailer over again .
Wow loved the scenery! May I suggest the Rocky Mountain Wildflower field guide for the future lol!
Thanks for the suggestion. Sounds like you are out and about all the time. Post up some trip reports on our website of the areas you hit. We would love to see them.
Oh yeah! I am so doing this Route! Gorgeous filmography, Y’all! Thanks!
Thank you for watching
That "first water crossing" is Tabeguache Creek. You crossed it on a bridge well before you entered Nucla. The river you are looking down on from the mesa rim is the Dolores River.
Thanks for watching the video. Post up a trip report on our website of your trip on this trail. You will find the link in the description.
Thanks man! I put a waypoint on it.
I’m going on the trail in May 2023 and I’m concerned about the trees & brush scratching our trucks. The trail looks very narrow especially on the UT side. We’ll have a Raptor and a modified F-150, is the trail wide enough?
The area of concern is between coordinates: 38.35811, -109.31901 and 38.40989, -108.93364. Thank you!
Great job. Can’t wait to add this to my todo list
Have fun on the trail. When you do it, take lots of photos and post them up on our site. We would love to see them.
trailsoffroad.com will do.
Excellent video
Thank you and thank you for watching.
Another great video.. terrific scenery and insightful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching.
Extremely happy to see the stock height Rubicon on 33" inch tires. That's how mine is and will stay that way.
The stock Rubicon is a very capable vehicle. Thank you for watching.
Appreciated seeing the stock Rubicon, which is how I intend to keep mine. Mine is a 2-door, though.
A stock Rubicon is a very capable vehicle...
Nicely done John! Be careful backing up with that gimble in hand. This one is on the to-do list for sure.
Thank you for watching Wade
Very cool video, this looks like a ton fun!!!!

Ya'll need an electric OneWheel to ride back to the Jeep for filming. Then just toss it in the back. :-)

I want to run the Dusy Ershim trail with you guys.
2020 is seeming like a bust there year. Maybe 2021

Head on over to our trail guide www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1843-rimrocker for more details. This is one of our Preview Guides (its free!).
The road less traveled. 😎
Thank you for watching
Beautiful!! Thanks for showing. Do you think a F250 4x4 with a light weight popup truck camper could make it?
The best thing to do is head over to the trail page (Link is in the description of the video) and check out the information there. If you are all access member, you can ask the trail writer what he thinks and he can also give you pointers and other great info.
Per John, he says you would be fine but should avoid the end of the trail.
Do you think a Stock JLU Willys pulling a Intech Pursue would make this trail?
You should be good. but it is always best to log onto our website and review the trail first. the link to trail is in the video description above.
Great video! Do you think a Subaru Outback with A/T tires and skid plates would make it?
Hey Felix, the answer to your question and a lot more details is on our site. The link is in the video description above. If you still have questions, you can ask the writer on the trail page and they will let you know what they think.
@@Trailsoffroad thanks for the reply! It's a featured trail so I assume it's the same content as it would be with all access and between the site and the video it looks doable but watching some other videos on TH-cam there seems to be some steps after the UT/CO border going west that could be sketchy.
Is this doable with a stock height 2 doorvJK on 265/70R17?
Head on over to our website for all the details on this trail and many more! www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/1843-rimrocker
Was this actually in July, or earlier? I was just out in Pagosa Springs and also did the Alpine loop back in August in my F250. Planning my trip for next year and thinking about doing Rimrocker. Usually just try to stick to easier to moderate trails in the big girl lol.
Yes it was
Nice! Any plans to do a Kokopelli track?
I am sure some of the guys would love to do that track. You should head over the trail page for this one and post up a note saying you would want to go. The link to the trail page is in the video description.
Do you edit in GIS? I tried to do my trip planning in Gaia, but quickly fell back to using GIS again. I find folder management very difficult in Gaia.
We use several tools, but many of use use GAIA for the initial recording.
@@Trailsoffroad okay cool, you have very clean tracks. I usually have to do some cleanup afterwards.
Sometimes I will drive in a tight circle to note a spot that I will need to cleanup. Faster than dropping a pin.
I'm just used to working in layers and Gaia doesn't do that well. I spend more time than its worth yelling at the computer. One thing I do like about the Gaia app is how it drops points. Seems to droop fewer points in straight aways, similar to the way APRS works. Other apps that I use drop pins on a time basis, I usually choose 1 per second.
I would love to have a higher quality GPS, but there so expensive.
could this be done alone?
It is safest to never travel alone, there is a long list of things that could happen while alone that could be deadly that if you were with someone else it wouldn't be a big deal. Thus we believe is it is best to always travel with at least two vehicles, if not more.
Much rubbing on that 2 door with 3.5" lift and 37s?
which vehicle?
