My First NH Class 6: Wardrobe Road

It's time to explore what New Hampshire has for legal, publicly accessible wheeling! A Class 6 road in New Hampshire is similar to a Class 4 road in Vermont: A town highway that's been discontinued and currently exists in an unmaintained (but still accessible) state. Lucky for me, there are quite a few of these trails right around where I currently live. This video shows my very first exploration of a Class 6 in the Upper Valley...and it didn't disappoint! I cannot WAIT to check out more of these hidden gems.
Also, in case there's any confusion, Class 6 roads are frequently subject to a "Gates and Bars" regulation, meaning a landowner adjacent to a Class 6 road can place place a gate in front of the entrance to the road. These gates must be publicly accessible such that the road can still be used. Cool stuff!

Keep it up man! It’s nice to finally see some east coast wheeling!

Thanks so much!! Plenty more coming up!

Washington, NH…great off road adventures.

Just got a new jeep and am looking for some day-trip distanced trails in NH/Maine/MA/RI. Def gotta check this one out. Thanks for the video man!

Great trail and excellent video. I just found your channel and have watched about a 1/2 dozen now. Great content and great camera. Yeah, even a little battery chainsaw will help a lot. New sub.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thanks Phil! Really glad you’re liking the videos, I’m hoping to make a bunch more this year. I have a battery saw ready to go for this year, can’t wait to try it out.

Great video, really nice filming. Nice looking Tacoma too, what are the specs/mods on it? If you ever want to get together for a trip let me know, I live in Maine, I normally like to go to Vermont to hit trails but NH seems to have some good ones as well. I will be going soon to check out some Class 6's.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thank you! I have a walk-around video on my account if you'd like to see my truck in detail. That being said, it'll look a lot different this spring. The Vermont Class 4's are my favorite...they're what I grew up wheeling on!

@tristancefail Год назад

Seems like a cool road! Might take my lifted forester here when it’s dry

@S0nnenberg Год назад

It’s definitely a cool one, just be careful of that little dip into the brook, helps to have some clearance!

great video.. I am from upstate NY and have already explored Maine.. so not i am on to NH are you allowed to camp on these class 6 roads? not not obviously blocking the roads.. but if there it a opening? just curious on that

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Thank you! Regarding camping, I doubt it’s legal to camp on a C6 road, but I could be wrong. Usually the land to either side of a class 6 is private property as well, so be careful with any sort of camping adventures!

@alanemery1953 3 года назад

You should have no problem finding more adventures in your back yard! What surprised me the most, knowing you, is that you had no saw??? That's like leaving your climbing shoes at home ...

@S0nnenberg 3 года назад

I'm excited to explore more! And yes, huge oversight on my part, especially considering i have a nice folding hand saw and a chainsaw sitting in my work room! Live and learn

@theoriginalmodz 3 года назад

The first time I hit a gate like on this I shit a brick, I felt like I did something wrong. Id keep the road names under lock to protect them. You can always share the town, make people that wanna use it do some homework to find them lol.

@S0nnenberg 3 года назад

Lol!! The gates definitely make you think twice. That's a pretty reasonable suggestion about requiring homework, I generally will do that if it's a known sensitive area, but maps of the Upper Valley roads are quite easy to find.

@OSDCrusher 2 года назад

All class VI roads are legal. The gates are installed by abutting landowners to deter usage of the roads by Jeeps and 4x4's. By law, the gates must remain unlocked.

@sethmoking День назад

@@OSDCrusher Aren't those gates there to be locked in the winter time?

@ewaschuk802 3 года назад

Did that just a couple wks ago…Many more around…

@g.fortin3228 Год назад

yes indeed.. an electric chainsaw would be nice.. and quieter than gas. Thanks for posting. A little too much there for a brand new truck so I'll look for a milder one at least for now. enjoying it without pinstripes for a while.

@S0nnenberg Год назад

I’ve got a nice electric chainsaw in the back of my truck now, it’s proven useful a few times for sure. Thanks for watching!

@billyarsenault1970 2 года назад

Was the gate locked? Anyway- cool vid.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

Nope! The gates can’t be locked (by law), so it’s just a little chain+biner to keep it closed

@surveydude841 2 года назад

How does one go about locating Class 6 roads? Is there a guide or some kind of database?

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

I get this question a lot…NH doesn’t seem as organized as VT when it comes to legal trail documentation, your best bet is to see if the particular town you’re going to has a highway map database on their town website. There are a few repositories floating around out there that people have pulled together, but you’re rolling the dice if they’re a few years out of date, access can change yearly.

What town is this in?

@hughmellert9516 10 месяцев назад

Hey Seth, I'm surprised that someone who says they don't want to damage the Class 6 Road would drive on a road that is totally water logged. This will only cause more damage. When you drive off the established treadway (which you did often) this only widens the erosion that already exists. Just because it's "legal" to drive on Class 6 roads it doesn't mean it's OK to do it when it contributes to the erosion of the road. What fun it is to tear up old roads!!!

@S0nnenberg 10 месяцев назад

Hey there Hugh! Despite your (assumed) well-meaning comment, I disagree with you regarding the condition of this trail for use. While it's not easy to see in video, it was not in any way water logged (some standing water is just a way of life around here, these trails are almost never dry), and while I understand the camera view isn't ideal, I did not leave the tracks. That's virtually impossible considering how tight the trail is. I do appreciate your concern for the trail, good luck with things.

@user-uj3zk2cx8t 9 месяцев назад

Just because you personally do not see this activity as "fun" does not mean that others agree with you. These roads are open to the public and to registered motor vehicles, unless otherwise specified by the town Board of Selectmen

@mach2Jeepnnh 2 года назад

Nice little less used class 6. I do recommend not posting road names. Past few years social media and alike has been hard on the trails in the state. Some have been lost forever same with a few in VT.

@S0nnenberg 2 года назад

I abide by that policy now, for the reasons you’ve mentioned. I see new ones disappear yearly in VT!

@mach2Jeepnnh 2 года назад

@@S0nnenberg You have some really fun stuff around that area. Hopefully it will still be available to us in the years to come. Right mud season needs to end! it’s time to decompress with trail time.

What is happening with the trails?

@mach2Jeepnnh Год назад

@@NHWilderness some have exploded in popularity and that brings overuse. A good and bad thing to some. The worst is attracting the wrong people who just look for mud to rip up or leave trash. It only takes so much abuse till residents vote to close roads for good.
