Is THIS Alberta's TOUGHEST Overland TRAIL?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лис 2023
- Time for another Adventure! Two weeks ago, I failed to make it to the Summit of Marble Mountain. I don't like to fail; so I jumped on the first chance I had to get back to Limestone. My wife opted out of this one so I knew I would be able to tackle the stairs once again. Would I finally make it?
This trip started as a solo run but I ran into a bunch of familiar faces along the way and I ended up running one of Albertas most challenging trails in a group.
The trail connects Marble Mountain to Limestone Mountain and it's a trail that has a little bit of everything...Rock Crawling, deep V-Notches, crazy steep hill climbs. This trail is often compared to BCs Whipsaw trail; but it packs all of Whipsaws most difficult elements into a 23 KM run!

Best 30 mins I spent with my coffee on a Saturday morning!
Thanks! It was he best 8 hours I spent on a Sunday hehehe. Glad you could enjoy this with your morning coffee.
Glad we hooked up with you on the trail, your cameras are way better than my cellphone camera. Lol. But in all honesty this is a great video! Come out with us any time!

Yeah I was really stoked to run into your group. Thanks for the feedback. I used to do a documentary series in the R/C world; the company that paid for the series (Pro-Line Racing) got sold during COVID so my series got cancelled. I still have all this killer camera gear so putting it to good use. Thanks for the feedback and would love to wheel with your group anytime anywhere :)
Great vid! Love this area
Thanks!! I think this is my favorite trail; looking forward to summer so I can checkout more this area including baseline.
How do you have less than 100 views in 9 hours. This video is a masterpiece. Subscribing for sure.
I suck I think. Hahahaha! It’s the damn UA-cam algorithm; it’s really hard for small channels to get discovered. I just have to make the next one even better :)
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Appreciated.
Man what a great video! Excellent production quality! Music, camera angles, video content, narration was spot on! It was like watching a short movie that I couldn’t wait to see the ending. Very well done! AND I’ve been up limestone a few times so it was great to see another (very challenging) way up!
That you so much for the kind words!! The Marble/Limestone route, as of right now, is my FAVORITE trail in all of Alberta. It might not be as scenic as the Racehorse Pass trail in crowsnest but it's more technical which for me gives it the edge. It's a trail that I will do every single year...just not with the Wifey hahahah!
Great video man! Definitely checking out Marble Mountain and the Limestone Connector when I’m in Alberta again. Man, Whipsaw Trail is must for sure 👍🏽
If your in AB just reach out. Agree with Whipsaw…I have 3 BC trips planned for the summer; looking forward to each of them!
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket Will do man. Nice! Looks like a fun summer 👍🏽
Did this trail on Thanksgiving weekend this year. Had only been up on a quad before many years ago. Had a lot of fun, a few spots sketched out the misses but our group of two unlimited Rubicons (a 2023 on 37's and a 2008 on 35's) did well. Had my 2 year old son with us and he fell asleep on the final climb to the towers. No one else out when we went so had the trails to ourselves. Enjoyed the video!
Huh. This was filmed that weekend too. The 9th to be exact. It’s a fun trail; I really enjoyed it and can see myself doing it every year! Glad you enjoyed the video.
No way we were there the 9th? Top of the hill at about 3:30 pm. No idea anyone else was there! You sure it was that day lol
@@smackfpv yeah I was at the summit of marble around noon; ran into the red deer pack rats up there and we did the limestone connector the rest of the day. Wrapped up around 6 atop limestone. Was a great day and the weather was absolutely perfect.
I agree it was a great day to be out! Checked our photos and it was 4:30pm, on the summit at Limestone we left at 5:30pm for home, so just missed all of you. See you next time on the trail!@@JustEmptyEveryPocket
Perfect editing ❤
Thanks! Slowly starting to find my groove; far from perfect though. But thanks for watching!!! Appreciate it.
Great video again Cory!
Glad you enjoyed it. This is my favourite trail!!!
Clockwise on Marble?
I need to do the connector one day too!
I believe clockwise is the easy way. I entered at 51.91393, -115.18275 to do the climb to the cell tower. That's where the stairs are; super fun; and yes, the connector is amazing! The only way I'll ever go to limestone!
My wife get the same way when off-roading
Can you get to the Limestone fire lookout from the connecter? I tried the regular way and it was blocked.
No.
@@JustEmptyEveryPocket bummer. I walked from the barricades towards the lookout and there is a trail that leads down to the east, but idk how to access it from the other side.
Took me a bit to realize who this was.
Howdy cory, im digging the new project here
Hehehe thanks! The new projects will be put to the test in Moab tomorrow!
Amazing video, and great narration. I want to get your thoughts.. Would a 4 seat RZR XP have issues on Marble?
I unfortunately don’t know anything about SxS. The stairs are steep; when the front wheels are on the ledge it’s 42 degrees. I don’t know how good a RZR is at rock crawling. There won’t be much weight on the front end. You can get to the summit from both sides of the mountain. The cell tower side is the more difficult way. It’s one of my favourite areas for wheeling; if you’ve never been check it out!
Thanks I appreciate the info. Keep up the great video work🙂
As far as i know my 2022 rubicon comes with 4.88 gear ratio? I've heard i can put 35's on it without any other changes. But i like the idea of a lift. Thank you for your advice as i am a new jeep owner (I've had it for just over a year now).
I have it set up for camping, i have an Alu-cab rooftop tent on it.
Nope.4:10's. My wife has a 2022 ruby
Nice video! You have 35's. Do you have a lift as well, if so how much?
Thanks for your videos, lot of fun!
Thanks for checking it out! I have the TeraFlex ST3 Sport kit on my JK (1213000) which is a 3" lift. I've been really happy with this lift; it drives great on and off the trails. I don't get any rub anywhere at full articulation on 35s. I am realizing more and more that I do need to go to 4.56:1 gears at the min. That will be my spring project :)
Thanks, I've got a 2022 4 door wrangler rubicon. I just have the stock 33's and no lift yet. I'm just trying to determine how much of a lift i should get and what size tires? I don't think i want to go bigger than 35's?
I like the trips you take so I'd like to have my Jeep built capably enough to do those trails.
Keep in mind with 35 it’s STRONGLY recommended to go to 4.56:1 gears to maintain a factory rollout. I’m on 4.10 and it’s lacking low end grunt. Putting in 4.88s or 4.56 in spring.
Is this the back side?
It sure is :)
I’ve never heard of this area, where is it? I’m in Calgary.
It’s pretty easy to find; it’s generally referred to as Limestone mountain. There’s a couple ways to get there from Calgary. The boring way is to take highway 2 and head through Sundre. The fun way would be to start at the ghost falls staging area near Waiparous and go north on 40 until you hit the FTR. That will lead into this area. It’s all crown land so from here just grab a few buddies and go explore. It’s probably my favorite off-road area in Alberta. Both Marble and Limestone mountains come up on a Google maps search. Enjoy!
I am goin to have to make a trip up there in 2024. I have never gone with a group and the adventures ive had lol
so maybe next year.
I have a 97 ram 1500 ext cab 6' box bored out 5.9 magnum 4:1 gears with lockers front and back 6" lift on 35s (for now). I take it places i shouldn't lol. Not a pretty girl cause i run down trees, put her against banks ect..
Join us anytime. We've got a few trips planned for some pretty epic spots in BC for next summer; and for sure, Marble/Limestone will be an annual trip for me. Probably hit it up in the fall again next year.
Alberta's toughest 4x4 trail?Hell no!!
Overland trail not off-road trail; I know it’s semantics, but if you want your video watched you need a silly title like this one. I know for a fact that Twisted Trail is way tougher than the connector.
Where you were, theres a harder trail. We call it twisted trail
Yeah I heard that one is fun too; how modified do you need to be to get through that one?
You can get by on 35's. Last time I ran it I was on 38.5 boggers on my tj. 6 foot v notches,etc. It's a fun trail. But I think part of it got logged. Want to check it out next year after winter.by the way great channel. I was on another trail with the same group of people when you ran into them. All great people.
Yeah logging seems to be the main activity in that entire area; seems to be a lot of it going on. Hopefully it doesn't affect the trails; it's very quickly becoming my favorite are to wheel! Thanks for the feedback; always appreciated.
