Did this for the first time in June with my FJ. Great trip for those who live nearby.

Being from NJ but now live near the Big Horn National Forest in Wyoming, and having been an OTR truck driver for a couple years, I can say I miss Kentucky. If I hadn’t moved to Wyoming 14.5 years ago from NJ, I’d had gone to Kentucky. PS, thanks for the fun mountain music in the background.

The trail looks fairly open. When I was on Pumpkin Hollow a few months ago the tree branches and bushes were really taking over trail…. Got some nice pinstripes on my rig that I managed to buff out. Lol

I really wish I could have joined you guys. A few of us went there over Labor Day weekend last year and had a blast. Old Fincastle Road was a riot. We didn't have any trouble getting my FJ on 35's or my buddy's Tacoma on 33's over that rock but it got super gnarly and was a giant mud hole further up the trail. We got to a point where the road was washed out and completely impassable and had to turn back. On the way back, I slid down a hill we actually had to winch up and I almost rolled. Overall, that area is gorgeous. Can't wait to take another trip up there. Watching your well made video brought back a lot of memories.

Thank you for taking the time to make video of your trip, which I know wasn't easy, and for editing and uploading the video so we could all enjoy your adventure. I think I'll wait until I have a 3" lift and 33" all terrain tires instead of attempting any of that in my stock V6 4Runner, and even then, I'm not into rock crawling. I'd like to try the tamer portions on my little adventure motorcycle. Two friends and I rode the Hillbilly Triangle in the Daniel Boone National Forest last week. It's 80 miles of all paved road (Irvine-Beattyville-McKee-Irvine), but it's very scenic with lots of hills and curves. We caught the peak foliage. I think I'll edit the GoPro footage tonight and post an unlisted video to share with friends.

Good video, it gives me a idea of what it was like I figured it was a bit more adventurous. Looks a bit like a prescribed route sort of like a offroad park. A bit less of the usual explore and camp roadside that I am used to. I hate mud as well but need to go south one of these days.

Can you say if either ot these is what you took to bypass the water crossing the the "rock Garden"? Thanks again.@@WanderlostOverland

Well I think the Subie should make most of that route. Pending on the time of the year and weather.

We did the west/hard section last Sunday. Honestly, if you’re into scenery like me, you probably went the better direction. I have to pick pounds of leaves out of my frame holes and clay mud that a pressure washer barely removes. lol 35’s we’re borderline if you want to avoid scraping or bumping hard. More like 37’s…

Hey guys! I’m planning on making this trip in September I have a 2018 Chevy 1500 on 33s with a 2 in lift. This will be my first overland trip! This summer I’m going to put steel bumpers, winch, and rock sliders on my truck to make it more capable. Oh, and get a full sized spare tire. One question I have is what PSI are your tires at because I have ridge grapplers as well. And is there anything else you guys can think of before I try this out. Thank you guys for the video and I appreciate any input!

We do a huge bunch of wheeling in the west. There's huge rocks, steep inclines, everything that makes an offroad trip fun. Same great features Kentucky has. But, the west is missing one catalyst, water, or better yet, mud. Yup, we believe the wheeling, in general, east of the Mississippi is more challenging because of the slipping, sliding, and lack of traction.

Maybe give a comment of whether a stock 4x4 would be capable of this trail or if mods are recommended. We have a sock 19 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Whi.e it is a capable vehicle, I have doubts about some sections of this trail without a lift.
