Great video showing majority of the drive on Hurricane Creek. Most videos only show parts. This is a trail I want to drive through one day so this video gives me a great idea how it is.

@@itsaboutfam glad you enjoyed it. My intention was to show it exactly as it is without me talking about it, editing out lots of sections, or adding context. Hope you have an opportunity to check it out sometime.

You caught it just in time. I live here in WNC and they actually ran a grader through the whole trial on around 7-5-2024 just a week ago so it will take some time to get back to any kind of challenge at least they didn't close it (Yet) and hopefully not. Nice video. Thanks

Thanks.,.

I have been out there so many time and never seen that trail. Usually follow the TAT and SM1000 trails… Can you share the gos coordinates?

Nice video! Those were deep water crossings, did any water get inside your vehicles?

This didn’t age well unfortunately… Hurricane Creek has now been graded down. No longer much of an “offroad” trail. At least they didn’t close it down!
