Today we went out to the desert near Joshua Tree National Park to explore 3 easy off roading trails. We started with Painted Canyon which was easy 2WD friendly trail. From there we went to do the Godwin Jeep Trail and connected to the Meccacopia Jeep Trail.
All these trails were pretty easy with Godwin Jeep Trail being the harder of the 3. However I did do all of them in 2WD but I don't recommend going by yourself if you have 2WD..there's a few rutted and sandy areas that you can get stuck.

You think a 2wd can make these trials? I have good ground clearance and have done bee canyon 4 times no problem

@Michael_Tran Жыл бұрын

I did everything in 2WD that day...didn't turn on 4x4. However there's a few loose sandy in the wash...so if you go alone I suggest some recover gear and a shovel just in case. But the route I took you'll be going down most of the time so 2WD will be fine.

You can setup a portable bathroom very easily. Buy a popup privacy tent (like $40 on amazon), but a foldable toilet chair (another $40), buy special toilet bags with a degradable gel. For like $120 you have a foldable portable setup.

last year two of my good females friends went on that trail. their 4x4 got a flat, so they had to stop & fix it. two mtn men came out of nowhere and grabbed both girls. they raped them both for about 8 hrs then let them go - true story!
