- We Off-Road to a Secret Historical Swimming Hole Sheep's Bridge in AZ
Due to it being 110 Degrees out and way to hot to do Buggy things. To our suprise the historical Sheep's Bridge was way sick!. Not only was the Bridge rad but the swimming hole was absolutely insane!. With a huge rope swing that was hoisted from the bridge and a missive swimming hole. We had also herd there was a hidden hot spring there that we forgot to look for. We had my oldest friend from grade school out for his fist time, in his new to him Defender and we also had Jess's Dad in his brand new base Bronco his first time wheeling his own rig in 17 years!.

“Look at the wild Bronson” 😂
ha ha ha!!! In my natural habitat.
I've crossed under that bridge in my truck. That's our old hang out. You should see it when the water is deep.
I have heard it gets way deep!.
@@WRECKEDGEAR IF you look across the other side, you'll see a road exiting the river bout 50 yards west of the bridge. My buddy dunked his land cruiser in there and sunk it. I had to cross there to try to pull him from the other side. Too steep on the beach side. I do have an F250 on 40s/8" lift so I'm up there. Got about 5 feet deep just before the other side. SCARY. I had only heard of people doing this prior to my crossing. I had a cab full.
Any day out exploring and making memories with family and friends is exceptional.
You couldn't be more right.
When I lived out there the best summer thing was a night run over Log Corral Canyon, then hanging and swiming where it ends up at the back side of Bartlett lake.
We have never been or herd of this but it sounds rad!.
back side of bartlett is so cool
You guys are awesome for aways picking up other people's garbage when you see it. Keeping the trails clean 👌
Thank you!!! If us good wheelers wont do it, who will?
never been the way yall went, but when i was in highschool, me and some buddies took a crown vic with a welded diff to sheeps bridge from the other way. definitely the most ridiculous "wheeling" trip we ever went on. It was so much fun but that was the last thing that car ever did, especially after trying to cross the river 😂
Thats sounds freakin wild!!! I bet that was fun as hell.
@@WRECKEDGEAR oh it was a wild good time. Anything can be an off-road vehicle if you don't care about it
Dad was killing it in his little Bronco! The bridge is on the list of sights I have not yet laid eyeballs on. So mush more exploring out there I need to do.
You would for sure dig this trip!.
dads back from the missing offroad opportunities, cool bronco. ive crossed that bridge on the dualsport many times, we cross back at the under walkway at horseshoe, when verde floods, water goes over walkway.
Crazy!.
Love these change-of-pace videos from time to time. What a rad family. The "Wild Bronson" had me ☠️
I diddnt know there was a backway to horse shoe. The main way is the most brutal graded road ive ever driven in a stock rig. Ill have to check this out!
We went back the bloody basin to the I-17. and let me tell you, You are right!!! worst graded road I have ever been on. I will never take that way again.
Great Vidja Guys! Sometimes you just have to take the DD out for an adventure! Way to keep it rowdy 25/8, 366 even in the daily!
Could be doing something much more lame then off roading the JT while its to hot for the buggy.
I was so confused why a bronco kept showing up in my feed, even was about to skip it till I saw who made it. Excellent adventure and great fun for all.
Ha ha sorry! I think thats what happens to everyone when we do adventure videos. Its just so dang hot for the buggy right now.
Jess’s dad killed it 👏👏 now we all know where she gets it from😁 as always cool video🤟
He was gettin wild in that stocker Bronco!.
Awesome family time and great destination. Thank you for sharing!
We had a blast!! Thank you for watching!.
That bridge is so cool! These little adventures like this can make for some of the best trips. Love it!!!!
We for sure had a blast. AC helped a lot. Wish I had that stuff in my buggy! lol.
Thanks for the trip brother! I'll never get out there so it's great to get to see it through your videos. AWESOME!
So happy you liked it! Thank you.
Love this 🔥and I believe the technical term is rock-landing 🤟🏻
Stoked you dig it. Our adventure videos usually bomb. but its part of what we do and were not changing that lol.
Check out and old train Bridge still in use was the 1st bridge built in 1906 its off Kelvin Florence highway the bride will blow your mind and it's on the gila river and is flowing,,,great video to sheep's bridge
Man that bridge sounds freakin amazing. We gotta add that to our list!.
Awesome Adventure! 👏
Thanks Janni!!
I’ve been a crawler-lander my whole life man, ain’t no shame in this game 😎
We dont get much love on our adventure crawlers landing videos. But its who we are and a part of what we do.
@@WRECKEDGEAR🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
This is on my list of places to visit. I made an attempt but experienced a brake failure on the old "Redneck" XJ, and had to turn around. You guys are doing great growing the channel. Keep it up.
Thank you!!! You should for sure get out there. I have been meaning to get out there for years and regret that it took me that long to get there.
Great vid guys. Be cool to see more of this mixed in with your usual stuff.
We would like to as well.
Wow! That looked like an epic adventure!
It was for sure. Should have been there sucka!.
Ass, grass or cash, nobody rides for free!😂
Super fun video! Makes me really miss my XJ. I need to get another rig for trips like this.
That’s a cool hat you’re wearing. How do I get one? 😉
You can get it from a cool cat I know. I will get you in contact with him😜
What a great place I remember camping there before they put the new bridge in when it was just an old wooden bridge
Great video! very imformative and entertaining! Thank you much for such a great quality video!
you are very welcome thanks for checking it out!.
We have been watching the rock crawling videos for years but had no ideal of the Gladi! This is the route I have been wanting to take for a while thank you for the video 👍 let’s get at it sometime
every summer when it gets to hot for the buggy we take out the Jess's JT for a few adventures in the AC. We have some good stuff in our adventure playlist of CO, UT and AZ on there.
Added it to my list of trips to do soon.
Its a good choice for sure!.
Whats up wrecked gear. That was a dope looking spot i will definitely be taking the fam there thanks for sharing it. Hope u had a fun 4th
We had a blast buddy!! you should totally take the fam out there. super sick place to camp also. We forgot to look for them but there are some sick hot springs there too.
@WRECKEDGEAR the misses wouldn't want to leave if she knew about hot springs.
We ride the dirtbikes up cave creek rd and across Sheeps bridge and go back the way you came in except we take the path that goes under Horse Shoe Dam rather than fording the river. We dont go in the summer though lol
We will have to try the way under horse shoe.
Looks like fun!
It was a blast!.
So cute seeing Jess with her dad and Kolbee with her awesome friend.
Bronson stop dickin around and get that relay issue fixed in your crawler😂😂😂
Is one Bronson equal the weight of three sheep or is it 5 🤔🤣
4.5 sheep to be exact! 😁 I re-wired the entire fan circuit and relay, took it out for a quick test in 107 degree test and it ran perfect for 3 hours in that kind of heat so i'm hoping that its finally fixed.
@@WRECKEDGEAR done no more groundhog Day realay. 🙏🤣♥️💪💜🏅💯🍻🍻
Nice video, great photography and editing. I have been there many times, even when the old bridge was still there. First time back in the 1960’s. I saw your channel of rock crawling and subscribed. Have you heard of “Lite Brite”, they do rock crawling lots in Utah. Thanks for sharing.
WE have for sure herd of Lite Brite. Great channel! We are supposed to show them around AZ when ever they get a chance to take their rock crawler down here.
Great videos next time make sure u find the hidden hot springs. You were right next to it at the bridge!
man I can't belie I forgot to look for it. next time we will for sure. I herd its rad.
Fellow adventure junky/weekend warrior here! 😂 great stuff. Sub'd👊
Thanks for the sub!!! we have some rad adventure videos coming up. Keep an eye out.
Haven't been there in years, I believe there is a longer way like 60 or 70 miles that has no water crossing and you end up on the opposite side of the river by the bridge. The one you cross first thing is like half the distance and a much less twisty road.
Yea we have herd there are a few ways to get there. What a rad place!.
Looks like a fun trail!!
Ive always went up from 7 springs. That's a whole lot of washboard! Did you know there is a hot tub up there also?
I herd! I meant to look for it but due to it being so hot and having so much fun swimming, I totally forgot lol. gives me a reason to go back next time.
Found @WreckedGear from the insane rock crawl videos... mind blowing stuff. But these mild trail rides are sweet too. Just added another trail and swimming hole to the bucket list. TY for that. I'm an AZ Native and check out as many as we can. Are you guys also local to AZ or just pass through? I've seen quite a few AZ trails on your video list
We are in Northern AZ. Stoked you like our adventure trips also!! They usually don't get a lot of attention on here due to most come for the hard core stuff, But dont worry we will still be doing them because we love doing them! Its where we came from in off-road and to be honest. we love all types of 4x4. we just tend to hardcore more. lol.
I meant coolle loach wrap.. pink and black.. tropical rock crawler .. guppy..like a leprechaun fish or centaur.. jackalope buggies wrap
Exactly!!
"SHEEP'S BRIDGE SECRET SPOT" When you walk across the bridge (from west to east) if you follow the trail back around & down the other side, follow it into the bamboo where the hot springs are. They get warmer the farther up you go back in that bamboo. That's the "secret spot" at sheep's bridge. It's been a few years since I've been out there, hopefully the galvanized tubs are still in the bamboo, there used to be 3 of them that got progressively warmer going up stream.
Horseshoe Lake is my favorite lake of all time. Love to fish it. I only got there from the Bartlett. Haven’t been able to fish it because they keep it so low. I am of the understanding that the only reason for it is to keep Bartlett full. WHA WHA
YOU GUYS GOT GO TO SHEEPS CROSSING FROM BLOODY BASIN ROAD. IT'S NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HART
We actually took that way out. it was way rough and not near as fun or cool.
you missed the secret spot. im kinda glad tho
We knew about it but will probably hit it next time!
I was waiting to see you guys in the hot spring. What happened? Maybe you weren't aware that it is there hidden in the reeds?
I wanted to look for them but completely forgot when we got there lol. I was so taken back by the cool bridge and swimming hole and i totally spaced it. Gives me a reason to go back.
@@WRECKEDGEAR There you go! It's always a great place to go! Keep up the videos...really enjoy watching your exploits!
went to sheep bridge (from cavecreek) didnt need to do that crossing
Did ya'll check out the natural hot spring thats there? Pretty sure its near sheeps bridge.
We herd they were out there and we wanted to check them out but completely forgot when we got there.
There is hot springs there also
I ment to look for that when I got there. but got so side tracked I forgot.
I didn’t see the hot springs/ hot tub ….
We forgot to look for it. we had so much fun getting out of the heat.
brain eating amoebas
It’s Sheep Bridge. Not Sheep’s Bridge. Just sayin’
😂
Thanks for the comment!
