Enjoyed your video! Southern Utah is my favorite place for off roading and making videos.
Thanks! Utah has a lot of amazing scenery for sure.
This was a really nice review of a trail. Simple. To the point. And it looks like a beautiful area.
Thank you.
Glad I found this video ! Cut to the chase and told me exactly what I needed to know. I just subscribed !
Glad we could help!
Was there in the same exact spot 3 years ago. I was alone and decided to turn around. nice video👍🏻
Nice! Smart choice to turn back if you were by yourself.
At 3:27 make a quick right and bypass the top steep portion of the hill. This trail is usually ran the opposite direction but is fun both ways. I just ran it to Mt Carmel and back in late November.
Thanks for the tip!
Good video. Thinking of taking on this trail in July. Thank you for the tips
Thank you! You will enjoy it.
Any chance all wheel drive compact SUVs like Forester, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson will be able to make through this in July from South to North direction? All three have 8.2+ inches of ground clearance.
If you bypass the hardest part of the trail by Rock Spring you should be good. Be aware it will be very hot out there in July.
Thank you for this. Make more of these type of videos please
Will do! Thank you.
Your description says moderate more like for advanced and skilled off-roaders! But thanks so much for sharing always looking forward for more of your videos!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
easy to moderate and only one truck made it unassisted. I wonder what difficult would be.
Great review.
Thank you!
Trail Reports like this a re great. Seeing sand like that reminds me of some Deployments over the years, as well as some of the Trails we have here in Florida.. Appreciate the share.
Thank you for watching and for your service.
I got stuck in the same spot in my stock JKU with tires aired way down in July. Sand was way too soft to go up.
That sand hill is no joke! Thanks for watching.
Lol let air out of tires go down to 10 psi make sure your traction control is turned off and give it he’ll I go up it no problem in jeep
Thanks for the tip!
At about the 3:10 mark there is a shallower portion of that trail on the left that swing across your drone path at 3:27 mark. This path would loop to the right then climb at a less steep angle than what you were attempting to climb. Its a bummer you didn't explore that, at least with your drone.
I bet you would have made it to the top.
Put this in the google map search to see the portion I am referring to:
37.180044, -112.756203
Thanks for the tip!
where was your starting point?
Mt. Carmel Junction. Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our adventure videos!
Holy crap, that sand looked like a giant hill of construction sand.
Ya, it was super loose.
You said to run this trail from south to north, is the trail marked at the south end off the freeway? So Mt Carmel Junction would be at the end of the run? I’ve never been to the area land we are planning a trip in the next few weeks
It’s not marked well. That is correct, you will be ending the trail at Mt. Carmel. The first half of the trail running it in that direction isn’t very exciting but the second half is awesome!
Location ? Looks really nice
The Barracks Trail is outside Mt Carmel Junction, Utah.
Bruno A Soria Martinez just north from Kanab Utah.15 miles maybe
Just did this 8-3-19. The Sand Hill screwed me, made it just beyond the fork. What was the guy who made it driving and how on Earth did he get up that?
It is a tough climb. The Yellow Xterra made it with lots of momentum, low gearing, and high revs on the engine to keep the tires turning.
My dad in 2000 tj and me in 2014 jku both climbed it in October sand was extremely dry let air down to 6 psi went right up no problem up steepest part can be done let air out and turn off traction control it kills your hours power
You guys should have aired down to 10 psi and you would find the sand a lot easier .
Thanks for the tip. The group was running 15 - 21 psi depending on the rig.
I recommend 10 or even 6 psi better and turn traction control off
@@Onebandit Okay spider expert.
@@usbombs you don’t have to just a suggestion to make your rig go better in the sand
What truck and tires made it?
The yellow solid axle swapped Nissan Xterra running BFG KM3s
Cool, Thanks!
@@RogueOverland awh ..I was hoping it was the 4runner
Robert L Lawrence Jr my xj Cherokee on 33” x15 on 10 “ wide rims ,aired down to 10 psi
Where did you stay yet? Sure would be helpful
We drive in that day but there is camping at Pink Coral Sand Dunes.
Is this trail doable with a 2WD? Going out to Zion later this month and would really love to hit this trail!
Probably not, especially not if run north to south. That being said you should be fine getting to the first or second water crossing running north to south; even just seeing a short portion of the trail would be very scenic. Thanks for watching!
Hmmm think I’ll take my chances lol but thanks for the tip! Great video! 👍🏼
Let us know how it goes!
@@mauriciojaracuaro6111 Call Matt's off road recovery/towing after you get stuck.
I hope you didn’t really try in 2 wheel drive crazy stupid if you do
Is this a Nissan commercial?
lol... kinda looks that way. Thanks for watching!
But the Nissan got stuck.....
Great video, a couple of buddies and I are looking to do this trail later this month. Did you guys camp on the trail or complete it in one pass?
We did it in one pass. We camped by Panguitch lake the night before.
😀👍👍👍
You overlander guys are weak
lol...... Thanks for watching!
