Overlanding to Yosemite Valley

Awesome Brian! Dust on your dashboard. I love it.

Great video Brian, cool trail and views!

I had no idea there was access like that.💯🤙

I will tilt a glass of Whiskey to "Dust on your dashboard"! One of your best quotes.

Fantastic, like allways! Thank you Brian! I like your spirit!

Your rig is built for the toughest of trails! I post similar off-road content if you want to see more action.

I would really love to do one of these trips with you!

Brian as always you’ve slayed it ! Great work I appreciate your hard work and dedication! Love from the Bay Area! ❤

A few years ago my wife and I took the road from Long Barn on 108 to Cherry Lake and into Yosemite, which was quite the culture shock when we had to wait in line to get into the park. Still, it was a great adventure for us even with all the crowds. We went over Tioga pass and didn't get near the valley on that trip. Anyway, great video as usual!

Asparagus holds up the best after several days of trail abuse in the 12 volt fridge…maybe that’s why. 🤔🤔🤔

Great video Brian and perspective on what really matters.

Thanks for the journey !

Loving the journey through Yosemite. This trip has been added to my bucket list. Fantastic episode and life insights! 🤘🏼🏴‍☠️🤌🏼

Hi Brian. I'm a new subscriber. I'm wrapping up with my 1995 Toyota land cruiser rebuild soon. The Dancruiser project.... Beautiful outing with great scenery. Can I get the ingress point for that trail. And, do you need a permit for camping 🏕 in that portion of Yosemite. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing another one of your adventures. Awesome awning..... and leads for one of those. Take care. Dancruiser Dan. 😅....

What shirt are you wearing, i really like it

Did this route a few years back. Read some of the historical info on the original stage roads going into the valley. It’ll deepen your appreciation for those routes. Check with the forest service before going. They advised me to bring a chainsaw since they don’t often patrol the route to clear it.

Great video as always! The light bar looks great and I’m going to have to try that stove trick

i know where that comes out.. and i know where it picks up you passed the other look out on the way to turnbull... that is just one of the many awesome places to see here in the Sierras. hit me up if you want some good intel

Great video as usual! That trail down into the valley ends outside of the park?! Makes sense I guess...

Hello good sir! Where did you get the bottoms for your camp stove? Can you point me in the right direction please? Great video!

Definitely checking this trail out next time I go to my parents place in groveland. Looks amazing

Awesome DIY stove hack. Winter project for my list!

Good words spoke at the end.

Next spring I will join ya. Most of your vids are all in the back yard.

Is any of that open in mid November?

Do you have the exact area of where it starts? Amazing drive it look like!

Wow totally forgot that route exists. I have some old paper maps of it. I’d wanted to check it out but spaced. Thx for the reminder. Gotta check it out. Maybe next week! PS I always grill steak and asparagus.

Dinner music is excellent. ❤

As someone that dose off-road recovery’s in those mountains thank you for making the right choice of NOT pushing past your limits and turning around. So manny ppl go where they shouldn’t be and get stuck putting ppls life’s and time at risk wile damaging roads for instagram photos. Stay safe and stay smart.

What sunglasses were you wearing on this trip, Smith? Very cool. Awesome vid, definitely adding to my to do list

That is the truth 💯 percent. 🤙We have so many adventures in our backyard, and we don't take that time to enjoy.

Hey man, just found your channel and I love it, was hoping to get more info on this trail and how to find it, I would love to do it next time I'm heading to Yosemite. Was also wondering what camera you use, quality is incredible!! Thanks for the awesome video!

Love your video BUT here in Northern California (Northeast of Chico) we call those "dirt roads" not trails

Awesome video!

Hash browns are acceptable with any meal…

Fantastic video sir! Thanks for taking us along for the journey

Love the video dude! Quick question, do you use any specific map for finding trails? Can't wait to see more adventures!

I would love to build a truck like yours. What's your average mpg with your current setup?

Do you have the gpx file? Thanks for the video.

I'll need to find this trail. As a local, I might actually go back to Yosemite if I can avoid the crowds. 😅

The "holy moly" in Yosemite is how I feel when taking relatives and friends into the tourist valley.
I have visited Pilot Peak lookout several times still functional and the friendly guy stationed there one day told us he's had several people come by asking if Yosemite Valley is close off Old Yosemite Rd in 2wd cars several times 😅
