Death Valley, Defense Mine, Minietta Cabin - EPIC Adventure with Jeep Gladiator, Wrangler, EcoDiesel

Фильм және анимация

With the border open, we head south for the first time in 2 years. The first of a multi-part series on our November 2021 EPIC Adventure Tour to Death Valley California. The EPIC team invites Shaun Walford from ‪@TheStoryTillNow‬ on his first California adventure.
It's been two long years since our last visit to the California wilderness and our first day did not disappoint. We woke up in the alien landscape of Alabama Hills and made our way over to the Panamint Valley and the Defense Mine trail. This video should give you a solid idea of what the trail looks like and how it is to traverse in a 4x4.
Feel free to leave us a comment and we'll do our best to respond. Cheers!
