Rain, water, and mud! That sums up the Part 1 video of the West Virginia Overland Adventure series. We hit Canaan Loop Road in the rain and dark on a stormy night in March. It made for some tough camping, but awesome trail and water crossing conditions. Nothing better than hanging out in Monongahela National Forest near Blackwater State Park surrounded by mountains!

I’m really digging the stripes on the 4Runner!

That camera does really well with not having the glare from the vehicle lights!! 😮

Awesome terrain. Loved the ledge, stream crossings, & camping snippets. Overhead shots & music a plus. Jeep on...

@davidcarrico3385 Год назад

Great video, I’ll need to go check out that trail (I’m in the Pittsburgh area).

@DarksideOffRoad Год назад

So worth it!

Great trail. Rock, mud, and crossings!

Thanks bro!

Excited to find your channel. Been wanting to do Canaan but hadn't found good video before now. Great footage! Thank you!

@DarksideOffRoad 11 месяцев назад

Hey thanks! I have two videos on it. I hope they help 😁

@Trail-life4x4 Год назад

I was just up there a month ago and the trail was a blast with snow on it

@DarksideOffRoad Год назад

That sounds awesome too! Maybe one of these winters I’ll try that. Been there dry/warm and wet/cold now. Frozen/cold would be next!

I've run it in the snow and on sunny days. I would love to hit it in the rain!

It was fun!

Great video! Subscribed to your channel! Really like the camera angles and drone footage. My stock height Gladiator Rubicon should be able to walk through this (with some careful lines).

Do you have coordinates for that campsite across the water? Awesome looking spot

@dadventuretv2538 6 месяцев назад

Another nice (but shorter) trail out that way is Rt 18 from Douglas WV (starts just above Douglas Falls) out to Olson Fire Tower (def worth the climb up for the view). Also a fun little trail outside of Davis WV down 48. It is across 48 from where A Frane Road hits 48. Cross the stream, follow the gravel road up the hill and at top go right and follow to a small (likely mining?) pond and then hit Buffalo Coal Road and turn right to get back to 48. At the top you can also go left and follow the power lines, but i’ve only gone that way a short distance.

@DarksideOffRoad 6 месяцев назад

Definitely! I have a video of that from 2022 on this channel on my trip with Jon from Dirt Road Therapy! Back when the washout was more gnarly too 🤙

@DarksideOffRoad 6 месяцев назад

The one near 48 sounds cool too 👌

@dadventuretv2538 6 месяцев назад

@@DarksideOffRoad a lot of the land around there is owned by some hunting organization- you’ll see their signs posted around. I might actually contact them about joining just to be able to drive some of their roads. For example there is one right next to 48 going into David that goes about a mile or two to where 48 ends. Awesome fun looking dirt road with lots of mud and a giant boghole and dips to get the articulation working, but it is tagged as their private property.

@EricAmericanTuner Год назад

I was planning on hitting the Cannan Loop in a couple weeks too. Looks like I may have to stick to the dirt trail though. I'm only on stock tacoma suspension right now and some of those rock crawls look like they'd require a lift and some skids. Very cool trail though

@DarksideOffRoad Год назад

Yeah. Check out some other videos to see if there’s comparable vehicles that have run it. It’s not crazy to think a stock truck could do it with good lines. Having said that the rest of the loop is amazing and there sites and hiking trails everywhere. Just enter from the East side for that road Bs the trail section on the West.

@BadDrivers101 9 месяцев назад

I did this trail with a stock gx460 suspension. I have skids and rock sliders though. Touched the skids from the single track from the ruts but not bad just pulled them off and resprayed. When I went it was also relatively dry. Still water on trail water crossings were relatively low. One standing water area was to bottom of my doors. I have a diff breather kit on so wasn’t worried. If you have a stock suspension wait for no rain for a week or two before going.

@robaldakimov8922 7 месяцев назад

Ive done it multiple times. Just did it with a stock 04 ZR2 Blazer. Also did it with my stock Willys Gladiator. It's not that bad at all.

@joeortega8861 10 месяцев назад

Do you think you could do this trail with wrangler A/T’s or would you recommend something beefier

@DarksideOffRoad 10 месяцев назад

Any A/T tire would be fine. A stock wrangler could do this trail but needs to take good lines on the trail portion.

Excellent video my friend..I would love to join in some of the off road trips if you ever want more company.. I live in the Northeast.. Scott

@OJCoz 10 месяцев назад

hey brother in your travels through Canaan Loop trail were there any campsites that were not right off the road? Im looking to roll with the fam and we like choosing away from the road and possibly near water. Anything like that out there? Thanks man and keep doing your thing with the channel!

@DarksideOffRoad 10 месяцев назад

Most are by the road except the site that’s across the water. ⛺️

Not sure in your area, but the other side of PA has Main Line Overland. I’ve never personally used them though, but I know lots of people who have.

@DarksideOffRoad 8 месяцев назад

Hey Jay! I have all my GPX routes and waypoints on my patron site darksideoffroad.com but Canaan Loop Road is an actual marked road in Davis, WV so looking it up on Gaia or Google even will get you there!
