It's been a while since I've been able to do a proper trip after the newborn arrived this summer, but I finally got out with my buddies Steve and Tyler to explore the middle of George Washington National Forest and see a few different knobs and run the Union Springs Rd trail up to Flag Pole Knob. What a fun trail and it was a blast watching the Trailhawk go up it!

Ran union spring trail, through stone camp out by flagpole knob on the duel sport recently. I live there, so always running the trails in jeep or on bike. Long run, Second mtn, Gauley ridge trail etc are all open again too. to give youll a heads up. Ran all of it recently to in the jeep. Great video & glad youll enjoyed it.

You babied that Cherokee too much. Let that thing wheel. I'm thinking it is more capable than you guys give it credit for.

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

Haha Tyler just replaced his sh!tbox TJ with it less than a year ago so he’s still treating it like his daily. Would rather spend cash on a lift soon than repairs 😉

That drone shot at about 55:20 … it was breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your experience. Great video!

@DarksideOffRoad 2 месяца назад

You should see the drone shots I got on my latest Union Springs video this year! So many great views in that area. 😍

@Kam_jlru 11 месяцев назад

Great video- was just there at the end of July. Actually stayed in that same camp site right after reddish knob! Was a great site

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

THat's awesome. Looked like a great site!

@RLK02 3 месяца назад

I wonder if my 85 k5 Blazer will make it🧐

@DarksideOffRoad 3 месяца назад

It’s not a terribly difficult trail, a little high clearance makes it easier. I’d say probably 😅

@MikeB-68 11 месяцев назад

My 15 Trailhawk looks exactly like Tylers minus the red Pin Stripe!...Is his stock? If so great to see what its capable of!!!

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

His is stock still. Just has a set of A/T tires on 🤘

Great video, thanks for sharing. Love the union springs flagpole knob trails. Took my KL from Switzer lake to flagpole knob and then back down 85a. it's not a trailhawk so didn't press it. Good to see the trailhawk battling the couple little rock segments on Union Springs trail. Those little buggers are more capable than people give them credit for. Then i took the tj next trip and did union springs as well as the lake side trails.

@DarksideOffRoad 10 месяцев назад

So much fun down there. We didn't have time to go down to Switzer Lake like we planned, had to high tail it to Canaan to make camp before dark. Next time though!

Do you have a gpx file for your route you took ?

@theycallmejim9643 11 месяцев назад

We did union springs last weekend! Ended up snapping an axle and shearing the splines on one of the rear hubs in my WK2 on 34’s

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

That sounds wild! lol

@jasonevoy8348 11 месяцев назад

The small spot you pulled into for one, stayed there in June when we ran that trail. It’s a great trail

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

Looked like a decent spot for sure!

@PhatboyHD88 11 месяцев назад

I know Flag pole knob used to be a Jeep badge of honor trail , but i dont think it is anymore , is it ?🤷🏻‍♂️

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

Currently not a BoH. Just a fun trail with great views! Felt a lot like Peter’s Mill Run

@leftoverporkchop9972 10 месяцев назад

you might be thinking of Peter's Mill Run. Also in GWNF, but closer to Edinboro

Just did Union Springs to Flagpole Knob this past weekend. Planned to come down to Switzer lake but that road was closed. Great video.

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

Nice! We were planning on taking the road down to Switzer when we were there. Didn’t see any signs at that time in August. We were outta time tho and had to get off the mountain 😅
