Trail Guide -- Mineral Mountain Road to Martinez Canyon

- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- We head out on another 4x4 trail ride in the Kawasaki Teryx LE. This time we are exploring the off road trails between Picketpost Mountain and the Florence Box Canyon. Our goal is to ride a loop which will include a stops at Reymert and the Martinez mine and cabin. However, we call a route audible late in the day which leads us on an adventure ride over the WhoopDeDo Roller Coaster jeep trail.
This makes me miss our Can Am. Looks like a great way to spend the afternoon with the family
This is something my daughter and I want to do but don't know how to get started!! Looks so amazing and fun
Beautiful country
At the 17 min mark at “ The Waterfall”. You can easily go up if you hug the far left and go right up. Great video!
I thought that might be the case, but I was having a hard time convincing the copilot. Thanks for the comment!
He’s all - now go walk by the creek! Lol😂
Ya know that spot I have reserved on your roof..? I’d have to pass it off to someone else & move inside for the roller coaster. What a fun ride…. Your copilot makes it even more exciting.
I would love to see you expand your UA-cam channel, Mike. You do such a fine job with your videos and your narration is exemplary.
Lol 🤣. Yes, we need to get you an inside seat for that ride! It was a little more than we bargained for and quite adrenaline inducing, but we lived to tell the tale. If you can imagine.......the camera makes it look so much tamer than it actually was.
@@mikes7995 your “yee-haw” said it all.
Gotta add this to my next excursion, what's your mapping setup/app you use? So far not a huge fan on onyx offroad app
Nik, I also tried OnX, and really disliked it.
I use something called Locus Maps, and I am using the free version. You get a certain number of base map downloads included with the free version, and that was enough for me to get Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. The other states I looked at are only about a dollar or so. The only thing about Locus is that it does not have a database of off road trails like OnX claims to. I find (or create) my own trail maps and load the .gpx/.kml files as custom routes in Locus.
For example, here is the custom map that I put together that covers the area where the video was made. you can download this as a .kml file to load into a navigation app. www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=18lP31ETMasaNqrxStIKGXwb2niJc5Is&usp=sharing
Green lines are the roads that I have done myself. Click on the line to open a window with my notes about the trail. Hope this helps!
@Mike S wow thank you!
What map app your using? great ride..
On the trail, I use an app called Locus Map (Free, Android) with the Arizona LoMaps base map for offline use. I load a custom gpx/kml file to use as a route map for the day which I find to work great, and be very easy to reference while out on the trail.
I have compiled a database of routes that I manage in Google Earth. There are a number of resources to find (free) downloadable routes like JeepTheUsa.com and AZOffroad.net. Additionally, I have hand traced a number of my routes just using satellite imagery in Google Earth. That's one of the perks of being in the desert.
I have tried other apps like OnX, and found them to be very difficult to read and significantly lacking in prepopulated routes (at least in my areas). So, I wouldn't suggest spending money on a solution like that.
