- The 246 mi long Steelhead Adventure Trail is set in far Northern California in the 305,000 acre Smith River National Recreation Area (Six Rivers National Forest). With its crystal clear rivers, emerald forests clinging to red serpentine mountain slopes, and ancient Redwood forests, the Steelhead Adventure Trail is one of NorCal's hidden gems.

Thanks for sharing definitely gonna be on this years bucket list
Fun times. Thanks for bringing us along.
Your work is amazing and what you give back to the community should not be taken for granted. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I visited the Smith River area many years ago,camped at Grassy Flats , enjoyed great fishing.I did a solo kayaking trip down past Jededhiah Redwood national park,which i also visited .I did a good hike to the Devil's punch lake ,saw the most unique large Salamander s with their gills on outside, in the lake's outflow creek .l visited another unique sanctuary for the carnivores Pitcher plants , growing in a Bog nearby .It was one of my best Summer vacations.Thanks for bringing up those wonderful memories.Your informative and Scenic video has definitely motivated me to visit that area .
Just wanted to say I’ve grown up here in Del Norte and enjoy all these roads and you did a great job showing them. Almost every summer I’m up going through most these routs and love it. Just started subscribing to the channel, hope to see more good stuff coming.
Found your channel planning a motorcycle trip through the states and I'm super glad I did. Thanks for taking the time to put all of this together.
We've been getting hit up by a lot of folks on motos and adventure bikes, all of our future routes will be including data points and recommended bike going forward. Will slowly add that information to the existing catalog of tracks as well.
Thanks for sharing, will be there next week. Beginning of Sept 2022
Definitely gotta visit there someday!!
Good stuff!
I love this area! I live in Humboldt County. You drove by close to my home, in fact!
My wife and I are heading to the Klamath Glenn. We'll definitely check this out!
Another nice loop out that way is out through Bald Hills drive through Redwood NP then drive down to Hoopa, and you can take one of the dirt roads back over the hill towards Blue Lake. Not sure if it's open with the Six River Fire Complex that's active in the area at the moment though. You can see part of this route in our overlanding the redwood coast video.
Dreamy!
Cleanest river in the USA. Honest! And literally!
Thank you for this awesome video. I would love to pick your brain on your rig (LX 570) I have an opportunity right now to buy a used 2010 LX and was wondering what the reliability has been like for you. I plan to tow with it and do our off road trips with it as well. What do you think? The one I am looking into has 110K miles
I upgraded to a Ram 3500 for the sake of more space. The LX is an absolutely fantastic platform in terms of reliability and durability. The only knock is the horrible MPGs.. but that's expected with a petrol land cruiser.
How about a modified jeep towing a very modified small teardrop camper trailer, Teardrop trailer has a pretty good lift and oversize tires on it
This dang near oregon
So sad that much of this has been or is now burning in the Smith River complex.
Do they need reservation on 22:46?
How did the 80 series hold up on fuel consumption?
There's gas in Hiouchi, so it's a non issue.
Ruby van deventer is a free campspot?
I got a 2015outback with under armor great tires and 2" can I do the trails
U should be fine 😎
I got a 2013 Toyota Tacoma off road 🤷♂️Will it still make it? Armored bumpers winch and rockslides 4 inch lift
Visit our website at overlandtrailguides.com for more detailed information about all of our routes, including this one.
Unfortunately, the Smith River complex has been burning up that way for the last several weeks, so most of the route is currently in accessible.
@@OverlandTrailGuides ok 👍 thanks for the info, we live up we’re the creek fire was , didn’t lose our home but got evacuated for a couple weeks .
Can anyone go in that fire look out ? @19.18
You can go up and walk around the platform. It was locked an unmanned when we visited, but definitely still in use.
i use to live in crescent city ca its not the place i moved from this day in age
What’s a major River?
whatever google says ;)
It's just below the ranks of a Seargent river
😂😂
What a dumb question
It's the opposite of a minor river.
Not no more…
I'M SHOCKED , THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF OVERLANDERS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NOT one REPORT OF A SASQUASH .............LOL
Well, sounds like you need to switch from microdosing to macrodosing. You'll certainly run across a Squatch family among lots of other interesting things! 👾
LOL, if only one of you guys just ran one over ...LOL then I could be a believer ...far scarier things walking on 2 legs in those forests , be safe out there , loved you video too@@OverlandTrailGuides
Fishing this river sucks!!!! Please do not come here!!!
