- It's been a while since I've been able to do a proper trip after the newborn arrived this summer, but I finally got out with my buddies Steve and Tyler to explore the middle of George Washington National Forest and see a few different knobs and run the Union Springs Rd trail up to Flag Pole Knob. What a fun trail and it was a blast watching the Trailhawk go up it!

That drone shot at about 55:20 … it was breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your experience. Great video!
You should see the drone shots I got on my latest Union Springs video this year! So many great views in that area. 😍
Ran union spring trail, through stone camp out by flagpole knob on the duel sport recently. I live there, so always running the trails in jeep or on bike. Long run, Second mtn, Gauley ridge trail etc are all open again too. to give youll a heads up. Ran all of it recently to in the jeep. Great video & glad youll enjoyed it.
@@Hypure2wheels awesome!
Oh man I can’t wait to get my bronco out there. It loves rock crawls like this.
It’s an amazing area. I’d love to see a Bronco on it!
Great video- was just there at the end of July. Actually stayed in that same camp site right after reddish knob! Was a great site
THat's awesome. Looked like a great site!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Love the union springs flagpole knob trails. Took my KL from Switzer lake to flagpole knob and then back down 85a. it's not a trailhawk so didn't press it. Good to see the trailhawk battling the couple little rock segments on Union Springs trail. Those little buggers are more capable than people give them credit for. Then i took the tj next trip and did union springs as well as the lake side trails.
So much fun down there. We didn't have time to go down to Switzer Lake like we planned, had to high tail it to Canaan to make camp before dark. Next time though!
Love Union springs, excited for them to reopen flagpole knob. Doing both is a nice loop
Gotta show you how taco handles that
Trailhawk needs some Rock sliders off-road bumper
Really like seeing different terrain that over in here in Colorado. Seems like a beautiful place to do some wheeling. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! I’m continuing to stockpile knowledge of these east coast gems bit by bit 🙂
The small spot you pulled into for one, stayed there in June when we ran that trail. It’s a great trail
Looked like a decent spot for sure!
We did union springs last weekend! Ended up snapping an axle and shearing the splines on one of the rear hubs in my WK2 on 34’s
That sounds wild! lol
Congrats on your newborn sir, and great video
Thanks Justin!
Just did Union Springs to Flagpole Knob this past weekend. Planned to come down to Switzer lake but that road was closed. Great video.
Nice! We were planning on taking the road down to Switzer when we were there. Didn’t see any signs at that time in August. We were outta time tho and had to get off the mountain 😅
Congratulations on the little one! If you’re ever passing through the capital district, hit me up, know a few trails in the area 🫡
Thanks!
You babied that Cherokee too much. Let that thing wheel. I'm thinking it is more capable than you guys give it credit for.
Haha Tyler just replaced his sh!tbox TJ with it less than a year ago so he’s still treating it like his daily. Would rather spend cash on a lift soon than repairs 😉
I wonder if my 85 k5 Blazer will make it🧐
It’s not a terribly difficult trail, a little high clearance makes it easier. I’d say probably 😅
My 15 Trailhawk looks exactly like Tylers minus the red Pin Stripe!...Is his stock? If so great to see what its capable of!!!
His is stock still. Just has a set of A/T tires on 🤘
yoooooo where is that camp site!?
I know Flag pole knob used to be a Jeep badge of honor trail , but i dont think it is anymore , is it ?🤷🏻♂️
Currently not a BoH. Just a fun trail with great views! Felt a lot like Peter’s Mill Run
you might be thinking of Peter's Mill Run. Also in GWNF, but closer to Edinboro
I know where that steak came from, brown paper and a thin sheet on clear plastic
