Il give you all due credit with running up Toquorville Falls in 2-wheel. One of me and my wife's fav place, and we are from Vegas. Worth the drive
It was definitely a challenge but have another person with 4x4 helps just in case
I just picked up a 2024 Colorado ZR2 a couple weeks ago, and am new to real offroading though I "softroaded" my 2010 V6 AWD RAV4 for years since I bought it new. So, I want to go slow, especially since I'm going alone and the truck is really new to me and I'm not 100% sure where the wheels and corners are, and what the turning radius is like. So, easy to easy/moderate trails are what I want until I get more skill and confidence in the truck. I know the ZR2 has WAY more capability than I can use now, so, that's good, I can grow into it. Thanks for videotaping easy trails us noobs can learn on!
No problem..that was one of the main reason I made these type of content. Im not into hard trails even though I've technical been on a few but for me the scenic easy to moderate trail are what I enjoy doing. Glad these videos are helpful.
@@Michael_Tran Yup! I always go out alone, so, I wanted a vehicle with a LOT more capability than the trusty RAV, that I ALMOST got stuck a couple of times over the years. WAY out in BFE by myself, so, it was kinda sketchy. So, now I've got the ZR2, I just bought a tow strap, soft shackles, a hitch ring, and a high performance air pump, and I'll be bringing all that with me. I plan on getting a good shovel, an offroad jack, and some other stuff when I get time, I just had time to get these essentials. I have a Garmin satellite beacon (from exploring on my KTM 890 ADV R) in case I (or someone I run across) get hurt, that I'm bringing too. Maybe I'll see ya out on the trails! Happy wheelin'!
@@kx8960 Great to have all of the recovery gears especially wheeling alone...I've been stuck a few times. Im coming out with another video soon of overlanding routes in utah soon too
Really professionally done videography. Surprised this doesn't have more views. Can't wait to get back out West to tackle these trails. Thanks.
Thank you...the West have some awesome trails
been waiting for a video like this!!
Hopefully it was helpful in your research
Really good video, its rare to find such good videos for the easier trails. Thanks!
Thank you!
hey man, I really want to thank you for this video. cant tell you how many other videos dont include any specific route or gps stuff. your video made it very easy. 5 thumbs up!
Thank you...I really wanted to do the video as if someone who hasn't off road and looking for straight answer on how to get to these trails.
Great video Michael. Nice area. Cool areas all over Utah for sure.
Thank you...Utah is definitely one of the state I've visited so many times now and you can see why. It's gorgeous
Great trails! Thanks for sharing! I like your presentation.
Thank you
Perfect! Planning my cross country trip and looking for stuff like this.
Glad this video was helpful for you.
Subscribed, thanks for sharing!
No problem...hopefully it was helpful
Great informative video!! Thanks!!
Thank you
Planning for a trip to Utah in April 2023. Great video and info for vehicle capability. I've got 4WD but no lift so that is something to look into.
Thank you...glad you found it useful in your research! Happy trailing
Great info!
Thank you
This is amazing, I regret not doing my cross country trip now. Keep up the great content!
Thank you..I'll try my best.
@@Michael_Tran also what drone do you use? The footage looks amazing
Killer content and killer presentation.
These look perfect for our trip back south through Utah next year.
Glad you found it useful in your research.
Enjoyed your video! Southern Utah is my favorite place for off roading and making videos.
Thank you! Yes it's one of our favorite areas too...can't wait to go back in a few days
Great job on the video.
Thank you
Whoo, first!
Great job on the video bro! Would love to check them trails out 🤙🏽
Thanks Ray...definitely a cool area to explore. Im hoping to see more of this area soon when gas is not so expensive.
I can't wait to get my 4runner out there soon! Doing a 3 inch lift right now with new tires
Nice! It will be awesome on the trail
Also, thanks for this video. I’m leaving Eastern Canada tomorrow and I’m heading to Moab then Hurrican. I was looking for some easier routes to check out with my wife. We’ll be solo in a gen 3 raptor 37 but I don’t want to push our luck too much in an area we aren’t familiar
I think a raptor with 37s will have no issue at all with these trails. Most of these trail you will encounter a few people beside the tantalus flat one
#1 absolutely without a doubt should be Monument Valley. The trail is in Navajo nation territory that technically spans Arizona, but the scenery is astounding, and if you're going to Valley of the Gods, you aren't far and should definitely include it. There's a fee to enter, currently $8/person. If you want to see the old west, this is it. The entire 17 mile loop can be done with autos, but a car-based SUV will be able to traverse the worst parts without having to drive carefully.
Definitely was on our list of trail to do...we try 2 times now one when it was covid and last time it closed early. Maybe one day we can finally see it.
Good job
Thank you
what drone did you use, really clear videos.
Got my subs, bro 😊
Thanks bro
Du ma that was nice dawg
Cam on anh em
Great video. With your lift, how much ground clearance do you have? Heading out this winter in my 4wd Expedition for the first time and really looking forward to seeing some out of the way views.
Not sure the exact measurement on my 2wd but I have the exact tires and im getting 11.5 on my 4x4 at the moment...so I think around 11 or 11.5 inches of clearance
Great video. Go you have anything on what drone you are using? Thanks!
Thank you...it's the Mavic Air2

Drone footage is really good was somebody piloting while you guys were driving
Thank you...usually my wife will drive if I see an area that I like to drone. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video.
Making my 1st trip to the area in about a week. Starting out with Monument Valley and then was planning on Moab and was looking for some easy trails to test out the new Grand Cherokee Overland.
Its definitely not my TJ. 😂
Looks like I just might have found what I was looking for.
My only worry is it's got pavement pounders for tires right now. 🤪
No problem man...most of these trails a high clearance with decent tires would be fine. I was getting into overlanding and off roading and these were fine with my 2wd
@@Michael_Tran
Usually if I head out that way the TJ doesn't wanna get past the San Juan's, the area between Silverton, Telluride and Ouray.
This vacation is gonna be almost all pavement. North Texas to Monument Valley, up thru Moab to 70 to Denver then Royal Gorge and a trip up Pikes Peak and after that....
Back to the texas heat. 😥
With all the snow the San Juan's got this year it looks like iam gonna miss out on some epic waterfalls. I try to get up there every couple of years.
So BEAUTIFUL you can drop your camera and if the shutter goes off...
You got a great picture. 😂
Once again....
Thanks for the video.
Be Safe Brother!
✌😎
I think you meant Toquerville, Not Torqueville Falls, but nice video!
Solid list of trails. I wish I could cut and paste some details that would allow me to get them on my map
Not sure if you have Gaia gps...but I usually research these trails and then pin them on my Gaia gps and I can practically follow the trail on the app
@@Michael_Tran Should add the GPX files to the description :)
👍
Hey Mike what is the GPS map gig your using ??
That's Dead Horse POINT State Park!
Would a stock height 5th gen 4Runner be ok for height clearance?
I think so...torqueville falls is the one with the biggest rocky areas but my buddy has a stock 4runner pro and did fine
Could you please define how many inches you consider to be “high clearance”?
around 9-11 inches
Do you think a stock subaru ascent in xmode be able to tacklle these tralils?
Im not sure how's your clearance but torqueville fall is the one trail that has the most rocky areas but I;ve seen a rat 4 did it
I’m going to guess your xmode is more capable than 2 wheel drive. The question is clearance. Might just need to be selective of your lines.

@@skifreakcderby I agree...a good line is key to getting over some of these rocky obstacle
What is considered as "high clearance"? I have a stock 3rd gen trd offroad, these trails look pretty doable.
Normally around 9inch or more
@@Michael_Tran ground to differential?
@@deadbrother5355 Yes
All these trails OK for stock 2013 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited?
Im assuming it's 4x4? If it is yea you shouldn't have an issue. I did all these in my 2wd Tacoma
Very nice video. As an aside, the town in Utah is pronounced “Hurra-kin”, not the usual “Hurry-cane”. Just an FYI if you want to sound local. 👍🏼
I had no idea...it's Hurra-kin from now on. Thanks for the tip
I don’t like sounding dumb so I will continue to call it how it’s spelled 😂
Did you mess with airing down for any of these trails?
Most of them I did.
Do these routes appear in a map?
Some do...some don't. If you have an off road app these should show up
I'm really surprised Hells Revenge did not.. SQUIRREL!!!!.. make the list😝
Haha....let's hit all the black diamond and ill do another list soon haha
@@Michael_Tran I’m up for a Moab weekend. Hells Revenge, Poison Spider and Top of the World with some Castle Valley-La Sal action.
@@jurelle I need more armor now haha
U thnk these trails are camper friendly...small popup?
Is your tacoma 4 cylinder?
Its the v6
Nice. Can you correct spelling, though. Toquerville Falls.
Hmm ... "2wd trails you can partially drive" might be the more apt title, since you kindly pointed out turnaround points on most of these trails.
Utah has a vast network of trail...some easy trail can then connect to harder trail. If you watched the video I completed all the easy trail and it does connect to harder trail
@@Michael_Tran I agree. I was just saying the title on your video makes me think I could do these trails with 2WD and a stock rig ... which your tacoma with a 3" lift, a limited slip diff and 33's really isn't, so of course you completed them. My point was just that it might be foolish for people with 2WD to take these trails unless they know they will be turning around. You did a nice job showing where people could turn around and likely should unless they want to appear on one of the youtube offroad towing channels.
Is your truck a 2wd ?
Yes...this is my old truck 2017 Tacoma 2wd. I now have a 4x4
@@Michael_Tran right on brotha , love the content you put on here, thanks 🤙🏽 keep up the good work
@@pedrolozano9216 Thanks man...appreciate the support!
I see you have the self promotion adds covered, yet there does not seem to be a list of trails.
what are you talking about?
@@Michael_Tran A list of the trails and where they start.
Why do you travel so close ,eating dust
something is just to get everyone in the drone shot not on purpose
FYI~ it's pronounced "TORKville"
No it's not.
More like tokerville.
Toquerville come on bro.
*OH FFS! Background music is so Annoying! can we just listen to the tires and rocks?*
Did it ever occur to you in just over 13 minutes of this video you could have just muted your volume and turned on subtitles? Or was it easier to wait the 13 minutes to type in the only negative thing you could find wrong, only to now realize that you could have solved the annoyance yourself? Could have at least let content creator know his video was cool, cuz it was. Nicely done Michael. Cool areas all over Utah
@@heathjobe6431 Thanks for the support Heath!
