The road mentioned at 25:55 goes to the old town site of LaBelle. Another, shorter one, starts directly across from where you parked. Around a mile and a half to the town site. From there, an old stagecoach road goes up and over a steep ridge to Bitter Creek and then down to Red River. Sadly, the stage road is blocked by hundreds of downed trees. Then, the lower part of the Bitter Creek is all private land and posted.

@rm1seal Месяц назад

The logs were most likely placed to to stop erosion, we did that on the smaller roads at the San Isabel Scouts ranch here in Colorado it helps from having water wash away trails and roads.

I think y'all need to take some of your exceptional "photos" and make calendars out of them. You take some beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

@4XPEDITION 2 года назад

Heather is the better photographer and someone recently suggested a similar thing! Thanks for watching, Richard.

@BrentHall Год назад

One of my favorite areas ever! Awesome rig too, very cool. Also, it's great to see some more fellow New Mexico RU-vidrs out there.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

NM is extremely under rated.

@newmexicosky6938 Месяц назад

Excellent maps!! So many RU-vid overlanders fail to let viewers know where the adventures actually occur. Great job and thank you!

@kelvinwilkinson7629 18 дней назад

As for your strange trail. Being that close to Philmont, the Boys Scouts of America have a fairly secret organization recognizing experienced and honored campers called Order of the Arrow. They have rituals to include induction and procedures for candidates to become members. I believe you have run into a couple of their induction trails and sites. That would explain the trails, rock formations, circles and other findings along that path. I could tell you more, but the OA (Orderr of the Arrow) would come look for you. Great video.

@Mako2-1 Год назад

Whoooaaa that B1 Lancer fly by must’ve been the coolest surprise! Good job getin the cam out in time. Very rare!

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Could hear it coming from a mile away! lol

@ryanhoeksema2191 9 месяцев назад

I had the privilege of hiking Philmont for 10 days. Incredible experience. I definitely left a piece of me in the Northern New Mexico mountains that trip. Would love the chance to get back to that part of the mountains. Very underrated compared to its Rockies counterparts.

@bradshutler9356 2 года назад

What a beautiful area this is. The more you show us of Northern NM has me wanting to come see and explore it. I have a very capable rig but my problem is age and health these days. I can no longer hike and bike or even walk the way I used to be capable of. I have learned to be content with mostly kicking back when I go camping and enjoying nature and taking it all in the best I can. I have yet to admit that 70 is old as my heart keeps trying to convince me that I am a wild and free 25. I have always believed in "nothing ventured, nothing gained" so maybe come late spring or early summer of 2023 I may come to visit and have the opportunity to meet you and Heather.

@4XPEDITION 2 года назад

Hi Brad! You should come visit the area for sure. And, there are plenty of road trips you can take to see the beauty without having to go deep on trails. You can also camp in epic places that require no walking to get right to the core of what the area offers. You can do it. My step dad is 94 and still gets out there.

@Pack.Leader 2 года назад

I'm sharing this one. More people need to know about you.

@3smoke 2 года назад

I agree! I found more than I was looking for on this channel. I stumbled across 4X when I bought a paddle board and was looking for info on AZ Lake camping.

@andrewfisher2894 Год назад

The trail you came upon may have been a Scout hiking trail and the "bridge" board looked to be for a mountain bike trail. Philmont and the Forest Service work closely together to build and manage trails the Scouts use during some of their hiking treks.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Yeah that is kind of what we determined. The rocks across the trai to keep dirtbikes and mt bikes off the trail possibly.

@daver.236 Год назад

I grew up logging and ranching in the SLV/San Juans. You did a great job capturing that country near there. I loved it. I think those mountains are objectively beautiful in their own right, but that's my home and my heart has longed for it over the 3+ decades I've lived around the world since wandering off the ranch. Thanks for sharing that.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Thanks for the comment. It is a spectacular part of the country.

@stevebailey7633 Год назад

Just found this. Spent 10 years seasonally in NM, explored all over, never got to Valle Vidal, it’s on the list. As thought, don’t worry about putting out timely videos, the content alone makes it interesting to watch, and people discover the site at all times of the year. I watched a good series from a couple bike touring thru France, the release was this summer for a trip last Sept. Didn’t matter,

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Good feedback!

@andrewdutton5277 2 месяца назад

So glad I stumbled across this video. I grew up in the flat oil fields of SE New Mexico and, with the exception of a few camping trips with my church or driving up to Albuquerque, I didn’t get much of a chance to explore the awesome landscapes New Mexico has to offer before moving to California 25 years ago. Freshly bit by the exploration bug, I’ll definitely be camping here in August when go out to visit family

What beautiful country with a beautiful couple. What a way to explore and adventure with each other. The camping spot along the creek with no neighbors. What a beautiful thing. Maybe need to check into a Go Fast for my new Honda Ridgeline. The music was outstanding as well as your videoing Yes Ted Turner largest land owner in the US. He lives for his Buffalo. Can do anything he wants with all his $$$. Thanks for all your #1 work

@4XPEDITION 2 года назад

Hi there, Dave. Thanks for this great comment!

@rt3box6tx74 2 года назад

I expect the Forest Service put in the trail obstructions, including the logs to stop bicycles or even dirt bikes & ATVs from using the trail. It may be a hikers only area. I assure you cattle would walk around those logs. Plus cattle trails are little more than a foot wide. We enjoy your adventures.

@4XPEDITION 2 года назад

OH!! I beet you are right! Didn't even think of that! We though that Philmont Scout Ranch might have built the trail as I know they take scouts on long range backpacking trips on their land but also across Valle Vidal Unit.

@rt3box6tx74 2 года назад

@@4XPEDITION Usually there's a sign at the trailhead saying "hikers only". Back in the 80s, 90s, we didn't see much sign of off-trail riding damage but around 2K all respect for designation of trail usage began to be ignored. We were primarily riding near Red Rvr during that period. I haven't been to my cabin south of RR for 3 yrs. 1st it was that crazy NM gov spewing nonsense about the "disease". I wasn't sure I wouldn't run up on a dang roadblock when I reached Bobcat pass. Then there was the question of buying groceries. I usually take everything I need but always forget one important item. The full time neighbor out there had to move to Questa (altitude issues). The other neighbor who went out for summers lost her driving privileges (80+ y.o.) so she can only get out when she has a ride. Bottom line: Im now without a source of direct info on the ground out there.

I think I have been down that road before. I can't remember, it was so long ago. Either way, the Valle Vidal is a special place. Can't wait to go back some day.

@hughwolfe1176 2 года назад

Hello Scott & Heather, Another beautiful area, you two sure can pick em’. That old grey structure sure was intriguing, it appeared abandoned. Was it a fire station due to the hoses? Keep those special places close to your heart as they’ll warm a cold winter night… I’ve been bicycle shopping lately, I really would like to get out on those types of trails. Safe travels

@8rett 2 года назад

Great adventure as always! That B-1 flyover must have been wild, those things are the loudest plane I've ever heard in person. Loved the whole camp right next to the river, were the mosquitoes bad at all? Have you guys thought about getting e-MTBs to explore more on those forest roads? Could knock out 30+ miles and expend the same energy as doing 5 on a regular bike! Cheers!

@4XPEDITION 2 года назад

Hey there Brett! That B-1 was crazy. I met a few hunters that told me they had low fly-overs the night before. There were NO mosquitos along the river. Not one. Thought about the e-bikes but they are restricted on a lot of trails around here. Thanks for watching!

@ElGancho08 2 года назад

I was in the upper frijoles crossing and had an amazing time earlier in the year. Can’t wait to explore more of New Mexico as a Texan. I’ll be in Colorado Springs are at the end of the month for a week of camping and trails that oh would recommend I don’t miss?

When are you coming to Cloudcroft/Ruidoso? Seams like youve been everywhere in NM except for the Sacramento Mountains.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

Good question. I have been there before. I used to visit my brother when he was stationed at Alomogordo for years. We used to go into those mountains hunting and hiking. And, go out on the missile range when it was open to the public to hunt for Quail. Really nice down there.

@4XPEDITION Год назад

That orange stove is a Jet Boil Genesis. There are portable toilets provided around the area and otherwise there are paid campgrounds with bathrooms. If you camp off-grid (no provided toilets) then, yes. We use a portable toilet. You can find links to the products I use here > 4xpedition.com/equipment/

@Jeff-cl3dp 2 месяца назад

Sorry to be the buzzkill but you should probably pick up a MVU Map so you can avoid illegally camping like you did at the 13 min mark. Aside from on-foot/horseback camping, the only spots to vehicle camp are in the two campsites.
