Nice footage as always! I was out there mid-April. As a driver (solo) I found it was difficult to really enjoy the views as with the new truck where I wasn't confident where the corners were, I was concentrating on just driving it. I actually found it a little more sketchy right at the top with the ruts, but that was just me being new to the truck (just 1,000mi on it). I really need to get a GoPro so that I can enjoy it AFTER the fact. Looks like you had a good run at it, no traffic coming up. I had to pull over a couple times, which was a little sketchy for me, but I was looking for that and when I saw uphill vehicles I was able to pick a good spot to pull over (in the switchbacks) and just waited for several packs (herds? LOL) of Jeeps to come up. I think I was able to enjoy the road to Potash Lakes better, because there I was able to pull over whenever I wanted to take pics. Hopefully I'll see you guys out on the trail one of these days, I plan on going back maybe in the fall.

@@kx8960 thank you!! I was in the same boat as you the first time I went. I’m glad I had the GoPro going so I could capture it and see it later because I was super concentrated putting the truck in the right spot and missed some of the scenic parts. We went early in the morning so it was nice not having to deal with the traffic! We took shafer to potash to long canyon trail. Makes for a fun route!

@@EAOffroad Yeah, I think I'll do it again, now that I know my truck better, I'm more confident in it knowing the turning radius etc. Since the Raptor is bigger I can imagine all the trails are that much narrower. Every time I wanted to sightsee I had to remind myself NOT to go where I was looking (as on a motorcycle - target fixation)! I think next time I'll stop every so often (traffic permitting) and get a pic out the window when I can. I wanted to pursue Jug Handle Trail at the end of that day, but didn't know the difficulty and was running out of daylight. That definitely is a nice route though, nice vid!

@@kx8960 2nd time around is a lot better! I went on this trail for my first time in 2020 and I was pretty nervous but that was really my first expedition ever. Doing it now was a lot better! I did chicken corners in the raptor back in 2020 too 😅 it made shafer trail look easy!
