Mountain Bike Ride Down Caprock Canyons Trailway, South Plains to Clarity Tunnel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2020
- I started this journey at South Plains so that I could experience the descent down the Llano Estacado into the canyonlands below. It was a total blast flying down this feature at about mile 3. Clarity tunnel was awesome and there were hundreds of bats flying over my head as I walked through it. Be prepared for a potential flat tire as portions of this trail are rough.

This is a never seen place for me. Thanks for showing this part of the world. Place looks beautiful. Watching from Scotland . Big like and support for entertaining me👍
Wow thanks for watching. I hope I can produce more content that you enjoy watching. Consider watching my video coming out Thursday. I go to a somewhat similar environment.
Thank you for cutting away and not showing your disposal of the bodies of the two hikers.
Great video; thanks for posting.
Actually the town that Caprock Canyons is part of is, Quitaquay, Texas, pronounced kittyquay. We live in Texas and have been camp hosts there. It's the 3rd largest canyon in the U.S. we love your videos. The funky odor in the tunnel is bat dung, and owls wait outside at night for the bats to come out. There's hundreds of them. We never walked in, only in trucks because the bat dung is all over the top, sides, and floor of that tunnel.
Really enjoyed this , hope you post some more
Great video & really fun to see the beginning of the canyon...thanks for sharing!
It is amazing how the terrain changes so sharply...newer sub and dropping in from Nova Scotia, Canada...hope you have yourself a marvelous weekend...
Thanks again. Yeah, that's what drew me to the area. Love it.
You are a brave man for going through that tunnel. It is well constructed, but the bats would scare me away. How about snakes?
I didn't see any signs of snakes in the tunnel. I had a light but didn't want to mess with the bats in the middle of the tunnel. I did see some incredibly fast prairie snakes (i think)outside though.
Just discovered your channel. This vid was especially interesting to me because my best friend lives in nearby Lockney and I'm hoping to move to the area in a couple months. I love biking and had no idea this was in the area. Now that I do, it could become my go to spot!
Cool. This trail and the hiking trails at the main park would be fantastic places to explore on a regular basis.
Ty for sharing
Thanks for the video. I was thinking of riding the South Plains to Quitaque section over the holidays, but it looks a lot less maintained and rougher than expected. Most of the videos on this trail are several years old, and I think the weather has taken its toll.
Yeah it's mainly the rough gravel that's the problem for the first couple miles and then here and there over small sections beyond that. Overall I enjoyed it though. If you have fresh tires with slime inner tubes you may be okay.
The Llamo Estacado at some point was beach front property.
Love this area of the south plains
erosions-fluvial was actually where the Flood water drained off.
I love your channel, I just found it. The only TX experience I had was driving across the pan handle, yuck! I had no idea TX was so diversified. Thanx, will visit some of these places hopefully soon!
This place is in the panhandle lol
Planning to ride South Plains to Estelline, like maybe one day to Turkey Hotel, then Estelline. Have you ridden the rest of the trail east of the tunnel?
How did we miss this?
A strong headwind can be much more of a challenge than the gradient
If you wonder which part of TEXAS that someone is from, ask them how they say the town named LA MESA or LLANO
Lol, i felt this. Lameeeesa. I live in Snyder
@@purpleyeti705 I’m from Amarillo originally. Spent every summer up there until I was 16, but most of my life I’ve been in the Hill Country around Austin and San Antonio usually in the small towns.
Looks like part of the trail is an old abandoned train right of way
It is all RR right-of-way and is now managed by the park service.
@@genelappe Thanks for the info. Looks like a great ride.
IS THERE PRIMITIVE CAMPING ON THIS TRAIL?
On that first bridge I did not I know you had already dumped the truck. I thought it was video from the truck so I cringed when you went over that super narrow bridge
lol, that's funny
Where is your flashlight?
Where is this its very cool
The trailhead I used is in community of South Plains. Go east from there. There's another at Monks Crossing on highway 689 but it will a bit less scenic.
What was the tunnel for?
Train tunnel
...it was for the Fort Worth and Denver Railway...
3:44 rock was laid down during The Flood 4,350 years ago.
Texas used to be a shallow sea. No flood
@@lilcrumb6420 Texas was covered with flood waters and was never a shallow sea.
If all the ice of Antarctica melts it will cover the entire planet to 213 feet depth.
Now stop trolling.

Don't let science get in your way. Proof Texas was a shallow sea
More than 100 million years ago, a giant inland sea divided North America into two smaller landmasses. This sea stretched from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to Montana! Even though much of the American West is dry desert today, its character was shaped by the many years it spent under water.

how long you been using metres?
I used to run track and am now a geologist so I often used meters
@@secretsoftexas6872 meters to check your breathing or for gas?
@@rosewhite---distance
Hey buddy, did you know that at 634/951 to the above right there is the face of a man! Go back and look at your video! creepy!
Wow, yeah. Thanks for pointing it out.
6:34 ? I didn't see it.
