hi there welcome to the beaten trail
in this episode we are going to visit lost trails and see what's on the other side of the mountain
so lost trail is a standard issue you normally pay a 39 fee for the day per person if you're
the only person in the vehicle that's not too bad but as you have passengers it becomes not as good
a deal at 2 000 acres it's not a huge space but it is big enough to keep you busy for the day
many individuals will have ridden here and they're familiar with top of the world and
the tunnel the shipwreck the lake several other aspects but we uh we had two atvs
and a bunch of side by sides went out on december an unseasonably warm day
was foggy we had some rain the temperature was between the 50 and 60 degrees so it was really
a modified ride and as you got up in the mountains it got cloudier and a little bit of fog but we had
a good time and everybody was riding we did a little bit of technicals and took some b-roll
and we had fun and we had some iceberg moments where there was some fresh water that had a
layer of ice on top but overall for december it wasn't very busy there was another maybe a
dozen individuals out on the mountain so we didn't have the whole mountain to ourselves
we ran into very little people as we were driving and of course you come to top of the world and you
have to get out there and pose for a little bit of photo on the edge of the cliff and we were
able to do that and we had a good time flew the drone around a little bit and got some
scenery is
so
we made our way over towards the tunnel you must always enjoy the tunnel as you're going over there
and enjoy with a little bit of mist in the air it was a little foggy so we had a really cool
ride through the tunnel we wanted to see what it looked like with lights and without lights
now you really have not lived until you've gone through the puddles that follow the tunnel
and uh it is a bit of whoops and it's very messy and so we had fun time splashing through that
on our way up to the lake but overall everybody had a fun time like i had said some people were
new to the lost trails experience and everyone enjoyed the variety of trails
as we came up to the lake visibility was very low but we were able to stop for lunch and enjoy
what view we could see and we were going to explore some of the less used trails
out towards the trails beyond the shipwreck
these trails turn into some blues and reds while we didn't do any black trails there were
a good amount beyond the normal riding area that we found slick rocks and a bit of
leaves to cover those rocks all of our side by sides are of varying clearances and
capabilities we have two razor trails a maverick can-am and uh two of the atvs we
all were able to get through these some of the trails are a little more narrower than others
it was good to see some of these tracks that we hadn't ridden before or in a long time and as you
can see sometimes a little more foggier than others but we had all the trails to ourselves
so
one of the fun parts that we did find and we're just going to call it silt creek because it did
have a lot of mud and silt in it but this was a muddy area on the back end off of some of these
red trails that everyone just wanted to get in the mud and while we enjoyed it there was a lot
of winch work between the atvs pulling on some trees to get people out of some of the mud areas
but just great to get footage we just it was enjoyable we spent about an hour there
we'll recommend that you make a choice to get out there bring some boots and waders and you'll
really really love that area it's not common to go there and it's not known as the mud pits
you have to look up and see exactly what the area is called regardless just so much enjoyment with
a good amount of mud a lazy river that runs through all this
give yourself a chance and spend some time there
oh geez oh geez uh oh boy someone get a doctor
make sure you give yourself and your team a good amount of time to play here because you are really
gonna enjoy the mud and the challenges there are some submerged logs that previously were bridges
so you want to make sure that you do have a winch or a tow rope and make sure you go with a buddy
and this being our last 2021 ride for the year we will be taking a ride down
south to the carolinas to film some other atv parks down there so stand by
this uh was just one of our last rides out with the group there were no major failures
we had no breakages we didn't have to tell anybody out
the atvs and the side-by-sides all performed properly we were able to
use our two-way radios and those are always very helpful when you may have different
pace of riding it's always good to call ahead if there was an issue we did have some on atvs that
lose some bags and some parts strictly cosmetic we were able to call back have those picked up
it was muddy it was wet but overall it was a good last ride we enjoyed it very much
we would recommend that you get out to lost trails and check it out we did have
power passes so we were able to save a little money thanks for watching please click on our
