From our experience, the first part of the trail, where it's easy, is where you really have to pay attention. People come cruising around those narrow turns.
You are absolutely correct. People definitely drive too quickly along the easy part of the road. It's a shame because they miss so much of the beauty around them by driving like they are on a city street.
Back in the mind 80’s you could drive the entire FS13 in a regular car because we did a little 2 night MTB camping trip from Davis through Blackwater Falls SP, taking the loop on FS13 back to RT33 to Davis. Then later the upper part near Blackwater SP got washed out from a hurricane and they never graded it and re-gravel the road. I took the family in 2007 in our LR3 with factory lockers and played with the Jeeps. The stair steps in and out of the creek and getting new pin strips from the rhododendrons. Fun little loop. Thanks for sharing and the memories.
@@dervonwilder9695 Thanks for sharing those memories! I love hearing all the stories and history on the trails we drive and places we visit. Hope you are still getting out to explore and making new memories along the way.
So glad you enjoyed it! Part of my mom's job when I was growing up included telling stories to kids, and it left me with a love of storytelling. Bill and I are hoping to visit your neck of the woods some day, though transporting the Jeeps that far might be a challenge. So much great stuff to explore. Maybe someday!
Awesome set up. We've had 2 trips to Blackwater Falls cancelled due to weather in the past 2 years :( One time it was ice in April and then a tropical storm last fall. We'll get there one day.
So sorry to hear the weather has cancelled your previous plans. Definitely beautiful area with great little gems like Blackwater Falls, Douglas Falls, and Lindy Point (just to name a few). I'm sure you will get there one day!
@@DefiantOffroadWe have driven Canyon Rim before but didn't have time this trip as our main goal was Union Springs in VA. I hope some day to go back and film it along with Douglas Falls and the Olson Tower as I enjoyed that experience and would love to share it with others. We are always looking for new areas to explore if you have any recommendations. We enjoy watching your videos. Maybe someday we will see you on the trail.
Yes. It's been great so far. Much quicker and more efficient than filling each tire separately. Our original compressor also struggled not to overheat on 37 inch tires, but the Morrflate does not. It also feels solidly built, but we will see how it does over time.
Views wildlife dispersed camping, how good is that!

Very nice view from the top. Thanks for sharing. 👍11
The view from the top is excellent indeed. One of many great hikes in this area. Glad you enjoyed the video!

We like the way you film and telling the story, always looking for good adventure videos with a Jeep. Subscribed from Australia!

I call that hamburger gravy.....it's awesome over fresh cornbread....great video as always...
Thank so much! And that hamburger gravy was awesome. We are always spoiled when Tristan joins us and cooks on the trail.

This is one my favorite trails in the mid-atlantic region. Did you also hit Canyon Rim Rd? It's about 15 minutes from Canaan Loop Rd.

Do you air up with the Morrflate too? Do you like it?
Yes. It's been great so far. Much quicker and more efficient than filling each tire separately. Our original compressor also struggled not to overheat on 37 inch tires, but the Morrflate does not. It also feels solidly built, but we will see how it does over time.
