Great trail! We used it as part of a 2 night trip from the Eastern end of the Bradshaw Trail and then heading north to connect to the I10 at Chiriaco Summit. Overall the trail conditions were good. Some erosion is occurring in several spots that will eventually become an issue where the trail is narrow at the south end. A few areas are worn down to bare rock, but are no issue for the majority of the high clearance 4x4s out there. The final few miles before you hit the I10 have been severely washboarded by our SxS friends ripping through there. Adjust your speed until your suspension soaks up humps and saves your back. The sights at the south end of the trail are absolutely incredible!

Great trail with some great views and ever greater camping. Even on a beautiful weekend we only ran into 1 group of SxSs running through the canyon. Beyond that, our group was entirely alone and we had a great night of camping.

We run a fantastic 2 night trip on this quintessential overland trail. Unbelievable history spanning 1850 through WWII to the modern day. Our group started in Ripley, running the Bradshaw Trail from East to West. Camping at Roosevelt Mine made for some epic sunsets over endless landscapes. On night 2, we camped deep within Red Canyon, and offshoot to the north of this trail. We visited the Eagle Mountain Train Trestle and then backtracked to take Red Canyon Trail to the North, ending in Chiriaco Summit - making sure to visit the General George S. Patton Memorial Museum - well worth the $13 bucks to get in. Overall - the Bradshaw Trail was extremely easy. Any 4x4 vehicle will make easy work of it. The views are excellent and there is plenty to see and explore.

Great little day trail with a diverse range of landscapes. From high desert to lush deciduous forest to high-speed sandy washes to the shores of Lake Bartlett - Log Corral offers it all. By and large, this is a very high-speed trail with only a very small technical section of about 200 yards at waypoint 4. The waterfall obstacle is optional, but there is a mandatory boulder crawl section that can trip up some longer-wheelbase vehicles (see my uploaded photo of the WJ). Recommend something with good articulation. A stock Wrangler Rubicon would be fine on this trail. Once you get past the small rock garden, it's easy cruising with a few sections where you can show off your flex - but by and large, we were pushing 30mph for the majority of the length of the trail.

A mind-blowing experience. We made it a 2-night experience, traveling from Klondyke to Mammoth. 1 night in Aravapai Canyon and the second night in the Saddle near waypoint 7 on Table Mountain. Camping in the canyon was amazing. The views from Table Mountain were equally amazing - however - very very windy (we have 20+mph winds all night). The trail conditions from Kondyke to Parsons Grove were excellent, having recently been graded. We found multiple 2-wheel drive trucks at Parsons Grove had set up a hunting camp (be sure to explore the creek near Parsons to check out some interesting dam work and bricks that have grown into the oak trees). Once you pass Parsons, the trail conditions become more serious with multiple washouts, off-camber areas, and bowling ball sized boulders. The climb up Carpet Hill was a doozy - lockers and skid plates recommended - especially if you are not lifted or are on <35's. Very bouldery. Once you're past Carpet Hill, we discovered another more severe washout with where you made need a spotter to avoid a roll over. Beyond that - road conditions become smooth again as you work your way to Mammoth.
