Yankee Hill Trail Guide from Alice CO to Central City CO with a stock Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, stock Ford Bronco, 1st gen Toyota 4Runner, AM General Humvee/Hummer, Volkswagen Touareg, Nissan Frontier, Ford Escape, and Toyota Tacoma. Idaho Springs Area Off-Road Trails in the snow. Muddy water, snow sliding, Colorado Views, Rock Crawling. GPS and map views of the trail.

Channel Members have access to our filming schedule and I want you to be in the videos! The Black Bear crew gets additional easy to edit videos but offer more up to date info on trails (since guides take a while to put together). The Holy Cross crew gets more say in what videos get edited for the channel (video credits and early looks at Trail Guide edits).    / @coloradomallcrawlers

Channel Info:
My name is Dewie Jones and I’m the host (till I can afford someone else), videographer, and video editor for the channel. I’ve daily driven a wrangler my entire driving life starting with a 1997 TJ, most recently a ten year old 2012 JK, and now new 2021 JL. I like the challenge of driving a stock wrangler on tough trails. My buds are not new to wheeling either, but for their own specific reasons, now wheel aggressive SUV based off-roaders like Cherokees, 4Runners, FJs, Land Cruisers, VW Touregs, and Renegades. We decided Colorado Mallcrawlers was a funny name so that's how we got here. We film our trail runs letting whatever happens, happen and then later make the video an accurate trail guide with comments on how to do it better than us.

For trail planning, I use the Funtreks Books (amazon search: Funtreks books). I have the current editions of the Colorado books, Arizona, California, and Moab. I finish up my trail planning with TrailsOffroad as they can sometimes have more detail as well as user submitted current conditions feedback. I use GAIA GPS with TrailsOffroad waypoints on UConnect currently (although I'm not paying attention to it on filming days). Here’s my video that tells you how I find trails.    • Find off-road trails the BEST way!
