Time for Desert! Berdoo Canyon Road (Joshua Tree National Park)

Climate change is real! Every year, there's a transition from Summer to Fall. When I was in Joshua Tree national park in September, temps were close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, 2 months later and the temps drop down to the 60s! IT'S TIME FOR DESERT!!!!

This is a long one, so grab your favorite beverage and some snacks. Like always, I cut out the filler.

In this Episode, we start our 2 night / 2 day adventure on the southwestern outskirts of Joshua Tree NP on the Berdoo Canyon trail. The convoy line up consists of my following friends:

‪@durtyflyadventures‬ - 2nd gen Nissan Xterra
@stockoma.official - 3rd gen Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road
@robertohernandez2110elgallo - 2nd gen Nissan Xterra Pro-4X
Jordan and Jeanne - Jeep Gladiator Rubicon JT
Keven T. - 5th gen Toyota 4runner TRD Off-road
‪@JonDZ_Adventuring‬ - 2019 Honda Passport (only AWD)

This video will show off a lot of the different offshoots and how our various vehicles tackle the same obstacles. I'd say the star of this episode will be Edgar and his heavily modified Tacoma. If you're a Toyota Tacoma fan, this episode is for you!!!

One thing I want you all to keep in mind is that the offshoots that we do in this video are not required to complete Berdoo canyon. There's only 1 or 2 obstacles that may challenge a vehicle. This trail is rated a level 3 by trailsoffroad.com (moderate 4WD difficulty), which will translate to difficult AWD / Moderate for iVTM4 or equivalent. If you are not experienced, please be careful!
