  • The EPIC Team heads down to Utah for the first time in 3 years. Instead of Moab, we're headed to the lesser-known, but very impressive San Rafael Swell. In this episode, we check out Black Dragon Canyon, the Wedge Overlook (Little Grand Canyon), Eva Conover Trail, Eagle Canyon/Arch and the IceBox.
    Our team travels in Teraflex-Equipped Jeeps, including KHAN the EcoDiesel Gladiator and a new 2022 4XE Rubicon. Shaun from ‪@TheStoryTillNow‬ joined us in his 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch.

    They had to have filmed some western movies and tv shows in that area. It's spectacular. You did a great job of capturing it.

    Yes sir I hear that diesel...freedom at $6 per gallon😳 Be very interested in some feedback on the 4xe. We own one, haven't had it on an epic trip yet🤭 4xe review would be very cool

    • @EPIC-4WD
      @EPIC-4WD  Před 2 lety +2

      We're working on a 4XE review, based on the Jeep in this video. It did well, but there's certainly some considerations when doing a long-haul, remote trip like this with it.

    • @billwaterhouse5894
      @billwaterhouse5894 Před 2 lety +1

      If figured it would be, very interested in the upcoming review. My wife and I are taking the PW on this year's trip but planning a CO/UT trip next year, towing a camper with the 4xe 🤔

    Poor Ginger! No Starbucks in Death Valley, No Starbucks in Utah! Has he gotten a complex yet that maybe there's a conspiracy against him and Starbucks in the States?!?! What a cool place and the group you have is obviously very tuned into each other!! Can't wait for part 2.

    • @EPIC-4WD
      @EPIC-4WD  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for following along! Yes, the Ginger's Starbucks fetish is wearing thin. And yes, our team has been adventuring together for over 10 years, so we are a finely tuned machine!

    We have been running those trails in the last year too with LP3W and friends. Glad to see the area get some exposure on CZcams. We've run it with a variety of Jeeps but most have been lifted. Come to think of it, we ran Black Dragon Canyon in a stock JLU in October 2020 and had to take a bypass or two.

    • @EPIC-4WD
      @EPIC-4WD  Před 2 lety

      Yeah, it's a nice change from Moab and the views are excellent.

    I’m trying to figure out why your guys videos are so much better than all the rest. I came up with the fact that you guys look like your having the time of your lives and all the others make it look like a job.

    I thought the US/ Canada border was closed to essential personnel only? I tried heading towards Alaska via Canada and I was turned away.

      Gotta be vaccinated to cross the border still. Otherwise, the border is wide open! Woot!
