Carpenter Canyon Road

seen a few videos before my trip but it was not as I expected. after a few miles on the trail it becomes erroded. I did this trail with a 2019 jeep Wrangler Rubicon with stock 33s no lift. the first washed out place wasn't too bad but after passing the carpenter canyon sign it started to become a bit more difficult but there are other lines of you want to have a bit of fun. but for a stock rig it was okay just scraped here and there but nothing too bad but was still able to make it to the end. with lockers, it will make it more easier to get up some of those Rocky hills. I also aired down to 18psi and It kept pushing with no slippages.

The most recent thunderstorm really put a beating on the main road up to Loop Boundary Road. The road is washed out and if you're not careful, you'll end up off the path in the wash that is not passable. We noticed a lot of larger rocks on the main road and crevices in some areas. All in all a good ride. Follow the trail on your app and you will have no issues navigating.

Dusty but overall great condition. There was another rig up at the trail’s end and a couple SxS on the way down. No stream right now due to the weather we had couple months back.

The trail started off easy, but got very tangled due to very bad weather and was becoming more technical our friends who had a manual drive truck could not make it and would not go on, we could have gone on in our jeep, but turned back due to their failure, you must have four-wheel-drive to get through the soft dirt and technical rockfall that happened in the last storm

Lots of changes seen on this trail. Rocky and Tight sections before the campground. Lots of pinstripe action and maze finding to get thru. Do not follow the old trail. Stick to the left of the original trail and follow the creek bed all the way up.

Downed tree blocking the trail at 36.22219, -115.75104 approximately 1.9 miles from the top, 1/2 mile north of Loop Boundary Rd. An erosion ditch is beyond the tree, too wide to straddle and too narrow to drive through with a Jeep Wrangler. Unable to locate a bypass trail around the obstruction. There is also substantial flash flood debris and rocks in the Carpenter Canyon trail at the Loop Boundary Rd junction but this is relatively easy to pass for access to Loop Boundary Rd.

trail was washboard midway, partial washout which is easier than 2 months ago, a few more trees have fallen, but road can still used to the carpenter canyon signs towards the top. we pulled to small off road trailers behind us up and back. made for some tight qtrs in a few spots, we stayed overnight and returned.

Bypasses to west.
