Life is an adventure. It is important to explore the world around us as much as possible. Armed with an American Airlines credit card, an 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser, and a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, El Pollo Blanco will bring you along as he quenches his thirst for adventure and experiences. I can assure you, these videos will not be the highest quality, and there are a thousand adventure channels already, but who cares, follow along with a fun loving guy that doesn't know what he's doing.
Have you ever done the Strawberry lake trail? is it the same trail, we are new to the area but we are looking to get back on the trail after a few years off.
Time to teach your wife to drive into Red Lake. If you ever break a leg on the trail, who else is going to drive out. The Dog? I'm not kidding . My significant other drives into Red regularly. Best she learn before you need her to, than after. And my S.O just reminded me, she's also driven to Coyote.
Wow, Red Lake trail looks pretty tore up in places. As most locals know, past Red Lake to Coyote Lake it gets very difficult. I don't think Coyote is as nice as Red, myself. My favorite camping spot at Red is where the two (?) fallen logs protrude into the lake. Nice video.
I had the same question Thank you for the vid Im going up there with a few friends in a couple weeks I always heard this trail was rough but this video helped me see that is very duable
So excited to see some videography of the trails near where I live. I'm just a few miles down the road from the tavern but have never stopped in. I'll have to go get some food there sometime. I have a 91 ranger 4x4 and am hoping to explore more of the beautiful surrounding where I live and someday get ny vehicle capable enough to see this stunning lake. Thanks, and best regards.
My wife and I did the trail in a 4x4 Tahoe to the gate and walked the rest of the way. The guy in the tower took pity on us and gave us both a bottle of water for our return hike. What is the Orange Paint job? is that a no/low scratch finish on the vehicle? I have Sierra Pin Stripes on my latest 4X4 and would like to avoid them.
Thanks, this is very helpful. I had read about some areas going up that looked like they might be rough for my stock Rubicon, but that must have been a different trail. First time up this looks like a great route. Thank you for posting the map links.
Going to do this trail again next month in my JLU Rubicon. did it about 4 years ago in my 2018 Cherokee trailhawk, had to be spotted most of the way up. great video
Genuinely. How do you think a 03 pilot would do on bald, I’m on AT BFG tires. Iv taken it on quite a few mountain trails. She’s never gotten stuck or really struggled tbh
Very helpful. Is 09s02 marked? I saw the sign in the video for bald mtn so maybe that’s your cue to turn. On Gaia it looks like it’s 2.2 miles from the trailhead but I think you said 3.5 miles in your video.
How did u make it up there on a 2wd tacoma? I just went on Saturday with my Sierra at4x and my friend took his 4 runner with a 3inch lift and 33” tires. It was super hard but i dnt see how a 2wd can make it all the way up to the top.
@@rubencastano6771 Literally just don’t be a bitch and haul ass up that’s how I got up there 😂 momentum was key 🔑 and I’m not calling you a bitch just in general! I take the truck to king of the hammers every year and I never get stuck. Just have to air down and go. I have it built like a prerunner with the front and back bumper with mid travel running the fox 2.5s with the adjustable knobs.
My first ever Rocky trail climb. I actually managed the trip in a stock 2001 Dodge Dakota Quadcab 4x4 with 30 inch tires. It was a bit tricky and tested my rookie abilities. It's a pretty heavy truck, but my wife and I did it. What beautiful views, and a sense of accomplishment.
Thank you for this and I shared this with everyone I talked too about this! Ok, I wish you'd do the same for on the way down. I know you shared in the gpx file but having the quick video is awesome for planning. Thanks for awesome video.
Now you said at 4:40 mark "if I'd take a right back there would of been an easier". Like stock '10 Honda CRV get to the top how easier? Lol. I have a dual sport motorcycle and planning to ride that up but want to take a wifey up so I need to drive. Maybe I need to rent a truck for this?
Thanks for making this! I'm a long way from home, unfamiliar with the area, and was looking for a trail to take my BIL out for his first taste of offroad in his Tacoma. This was perfect with an epic view at the end. Thanks again.
Was going to do this trail, but forest ranger said the trails in footprint of the Creek Fire are closed for the time bearing. This was just last week I called the ranger station while doing research. Mid June of 2021 I called.
That’s just what I was told when I called the ranger station. I could very well get 3 different answer from 3 different people but when I had called, that’s what they told me so I didn’t go.
My Father, Brother and I drove this trail many times in the early sixties in my Dad's 41 willys stock. We would stay two weeks, climbed red mountain to look at west lake. Got in trouble for bringing bats back to camp in my tackle box.
honestly amazing video! I assume you are familiar with the trailsoffroad.com site but maybe you can submit the video to replace theirs as they allow community submissions! Your's is so much more informative and well documented than whoever recorded that older vide on a potatoe. If you live here in california do you think you can do strawberry trail? www.trailsoffroad.com/trails/2791-strawberry-lake-trail
