Join us as we take on the challenging Maze District 4x4 trail through Canyonlands National Park in our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Tribe Trailer. Tackling The DollHouse was much harder than we expected, but the beautiful views and adrenaline rush were totally worth it! Watch as we navigate through narrow canyons and steep cliffs on this epic off-roading adventure.

I live in my camper (usually) and I love taking it on difficult trails, but I’m pretty sure I’m ground tenting when I do this trip. Altho my camper is made for this kind of trail and your vid is making me reconsider it. Looks like you had a blast!

We did the Doll House in May of 2001. A buddy made a trailer with a long hitch and a pintle hook hitch. He had trouble on those tight switchbacks. He mounted a quick disconnect winch (interchangeable) to winch the trailer back straight, although we never used it. He had 33” tires on the trailer. We ate like kings, our food packed in dry ice. It was my buddy dream to do this trail. Full moon over the doll spires. So bright out, no flashlights needed. A magical and truly special trip we will never forget

@@TrailTraveler We also camped at #2. We hiked down to the river one morning and nearly died on the way back up. Not enough water. Lesson learned. Plenty off water we brought though. 4 day trip, 4 people, 40 gallons of water and plenty of gas. Worth all the time preparing. Unfortunately my buddy is no longer with us. He had a 99’ TJ and I had a ‘91 YJ.. Great video and Thanks!! ps. We got our water from Matrimonial Spring.

I like your videos SO much, but I get a chuckle when I see people try to take a frickin trailer on challenging trails and - NO surprise - get into trouble, and this video is no exception. What do I take? A JKUR on 37s. No trailer, no roof rack, no going crazy with bringing tons of camping gear. A ground tent, sleeping bag/pad, toilet system, water, chair, camp stove and simple food is all you need. I don't even bring a fridge or even a cooler. Lighter and simpler is better. Period. My rig goes everywhere, with ease. Just like yours used to when it was configured like mine is.

You do you man. I prefer the conveniences that I can have. Not having a trailer is not a recipe for success as we see every time we are out somewhere. We have taken our trailer places that many people won't even attempt. We choose our lifestyle and the challenges that come with it. We, ourselves and the people we wheel with, have all had things go wrong, had things break, or get stuck, all without having a trailer attached.

@VideosOffRoad 4 ай бұрын

Fair enough. But as can be seen in many videos, including this one, having a trailer attached can often make things a lot harder, and a lot more time consuming. In the hour it took you get through that one obstacle I can set up and tear down camp at least 3 times. I guess "convenience" is maybe a matter of perspective, but I'd rather spend that time enjoying scenery, seeing more trails, or relaxing at camp. I sure wouldn't call what you went through "convenient" at all, myself, including now having to rewire your trailer. Seriously. What your friend without the trailer did was what I'd call convenient. But if you enjoy those kinds of struggles, more power to you. @@TrailTraveler

@@VideosOffRoad The benefit of a roof top tent, storage, power, kitchen, hot water, heating systems, etc outweighs the minor inconvenience of towing it.....for us. In three years of taking our trailer on more difficult trails, this was the first time that it was part of a problem, and it was entirely my fault for not being more careful with the spotting. We absolutely understand that we made our choices for US and what we like, enjoy, and prefer is not going to be for everyone. Our friends have one ton axles and 40's that allow them to do things different than us on stock axles and 38's can do. To each their own. We built our Jeep and trailer for OUR preferences and the things WE like to do. I certainly don't knock anyone for doing things differently and finding what works best for you. Sometimes it is the little things.....if we are going to be out somewhere for 7-10 days without hitting a grocery store, we want to have fresh food, orange juice, meats, etc and not live on Mountain House meals the entire time. That is simply our preference and it requires different equipment than someone going all minimalistic....but....there is a price to pay for that.

Kerry did a great job with the trailer. I don’t think Kerry covered all the stuff we had to pack… but we were absolutely full and we couldn’t have done a 5-day trip without the additional cargo capacity that the trailer brings. Without it, we maybe could have made it 3 days because we would have had to reduce the amount of water & fuel we could take with us. IIRC, our 392 averaged about 5 mpg in the Maze District and the closest gas station was 40+ miles away from the Ranger’s station. That doesn’t sound like much, but that would have been around 14+ hours, one way, from many of the campsites we visited.

We made it about 2/3 way with our camper last year. Got past the worst obstacles but decided to turn back when we started to hear a grinding sound in the front end. It was fun but that is one trail I won’t do with the camper again. We actually did the opposite of you and went from Overlook to Dollhouse, what a long friggin day! Looking forward to seeing how that journey went for you guys 🧐

I did that trail a couple of years ago in my JLU Sport on 33s. Without the trailer we had no problems, we just drove through it without drama but yes there are a lot of obstacles. There were sections where you pull up on a patch of slickrock and you have to look arround to see which direction you continue. The last couple of miles to Dollhouse there were a couple of spots where I thought "you're kidding me, really this is the trail?". It was slow going and our MPG was below 10 most of the way. People do that trail in lesser vehicles and have to nurse them through all the way. I've seen videos where I'm sure they suffered lots of damage. I would not recommend it.

Totally agree. One group we saw on the train l really were a n over their heads.
