Took Sandy out for her first trail last weekend.
We went through the "Superstition Backroads" on the OnX app.
My wife complained in one area that it was rough, but at the end of the day she said shehad a lot of fun.

Sandy did great. She rubbed the underside once. Not her fault, I'm sure it was my bad driving.
My wife said we need to take the doors off next time so we dont scratch them.
The trail was a bit narrow in spots.;)



Whare are "badge trails"?
they are ā€˜official’Jeep sanctioned trails. No clue how they determine where these trails are but you check in with the badge of honor app on your phone and jeep sends you a little sticky badge you can put on your rig.

Did a little driving this past Sunday, visited the Davis and Thomas areas in WV. Drove through most of the Cannan loop trail and part of the Canyon Rim trail, I need to do a bit of upgrading before I try to go all the way through based on youtube videos I have watched.

I would love to take a colorado trip but itll probably be in retirement. Its too hard to justify taking a whole month off lol.

for jeep badges? Yes you can I have done it a few times. But I question if anyone at Jeep even really looks at that. The app doesnt seem to have changed in the last few years and I dont think there is anyone to respond to submitted suggestions.

Thanks guys. This is my first Jeep. Had no idea about that app. :)
I've driven Schnebly Hill, but in the 4runner :p

I'll see if I can hit up some of these before we head north for the Summer.

Not exactly 'wheeling' (I didn't need 4wd drive at all), but more of a really cool drive to a fun campsite with great views.

Nice video, looks like an awesome area to check out. A question, it is Whitmore Rapids Grand Canyon Overlook or Elephant Hill in UT like the title on the youtube video? Thanks for sharing.

We help sellers get multiple offer for their car in as little as one business day.
This past weekend we did a little detour while traveling through Western NC. As a newer Jeep owner I'm still amazed by a vehicle that can bounce along a technical trail in 4 low, blast through winding forest roads, then jump back on the highway for a 4 hour drive home.

(Sorry for the dash views - my 14 year old videographer still needs a little training. ?)
Videographer was brilliant. Felt like I was in the passenger seat. Give them an Oscar.

That link is for Elephant Hill.

I’ve been to quite a few places on the north rim but haven’t been to Whitmore yet. It’s on the list. Any trip off pavement is wheelin to me. ?

Well crap, not sure how I messed that up. Let's try that again for the Whitmore Rapids overlook

Metal Masher on Tuesday. Cliffhanger yesterday. Metal Masher is doable on stock gladiators, as long as the right lines are chosen. Cliffhanger is different. Winch required. Multiple vehicles required. Skid everything. :) this obstacle was not doable by 6 of seven Jeeps on the trail that day. Without winching anyway.
