Early Season Trail Conditions on Yankee Boy Basin | Spring Trail Guide

Yankee Boy Basin Off-Road Trail Guide for AWD and 4WD OHV, Jeep, and trail rated vehicles. We go early season and find how far you can get as well as what the trail is like. Can you get a Revel or 4x4 Sprinter up here? Can you get a non-trail rated SUV up here? This video will answer those questions and show you where to go.

Channel Info:
Our goal is to make useful offroad trail guides and videos using both funtreks and trailsoffroad combined with actual experience on the trail to confirm the information as trails can change. We try to make these video with all kinds of vehicles in mind so you most certainly do not need a lifted Jeep Wrangler Rubicon to do many of these trails. We are also working on making them more entertaining and I'm learning more as I go. Oh yeah, my name is Dewie Jones and I’m the reluctant host, videographer, and video editor for the channel. I’ve daily driven a wrangler my entire driving life starting with a 1997 TJ and now I’m in a nine year old 2012 JK. I like the challenge of driving a stock wrangler on tough trails. My buds are not new to wheeling either, but for their own specific reasons, now wheel aggressive SUV based off-roaders like KL Cherokees, 4Runners, Land Cruisers, VW Touregs, and Renegades. We decided Colorado Mallcrawlers was a funny name so that's how we got here.

For trail planning, I use the Funtreks Books (amazon search: Funtreks books). I have the current editions of the Colorado books and Moab. I finish up my trail planning with trails offroad as they can sometimes have more detail as well as user submitted current conditions feedback. I’m testing GPS apps and currently don’t use one. Here’s my video that tells you how I do it.    • Find off-road trails the BEST way!

As always, thanks for watching!! Your feedback helps me, so let me know if you can help me improve these. Share them with your nervous wheeling buddies (the Facebook groups never let me... self promotion apparently) so they can know that they can do the trail.
