Garmin Overlander and now TREAD Overland Edition, same?

To this day, we at FunTreks believe claiming “all-in-one,” “one device for everything,” or any other gimmick tagline is a massive disservice to the offroad community. It simply…

Help! More Trail Updates Needed

To all our 4-wheeling friends…we need your help with more trail updates, especially in Arizona and California. It’s more challenging for us to keep up with changes in states farthest from Colorado.

While there’s no way to discuss them all, we did find this article from the Art of Manliness a useful read for those just beginning their exploration of our preferred hobby. “Remember, the most important…

Colorado Overland trip

Red Cone – Radical Hill – North Fork Swan River We wasted no time getting into our trip by tackling Red Cone. Whatever notions I had of this trip being epic were very quickly exceeded entering this difficult trail. Red Cone was very fun with a few nice switchbacks and rutted out sections with larger…

Hatfield-McCoy Trails

  The Hatfield-McCoy Trails (Yes, THOSE Hatfields & McCoys!) are named for two families who could never quite get along near the West Virginia and Kentucky border after the Civil War. We had heard about these trails for some time now and decided to finally make the trip.          The trails are made…

Poison Spider Mesa

The only way fully appreciate Moab is to see it with your own eyes and experience it yourself. The terrain and views from the trails are unbelievably gorgeous. The area is on the bucket list of every offroader and near the top of the trail list should be Poison Spider Mesa.   The staging area…

Rocker Knocker

Rocker Knocker is a difficult rated obstacle on the Pritchett Canyon trail, and our friends from Moab Friends-for-Wheelin’ Club show the best line up to avoid body damage.   A great demonstration of the correct way up.
