Thumbs up Project-JK VIDEO - The Dusy : Adventures on the Dusy Ershim Trail

High up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, there is a narrow corridor that cuts between the John Muir and Dinky Lakes Wilderness Areas, and within it lies one of the most famous hardcore trails in the State of California - The Dusy Ershim. Originally blazed back in 1956 to reach Ershim Lake by the Four Wheel Club of Fresno, the Dusy has since become a premier destination for off-roaders around the world. While the Dusy does featuring amazing glacial carved granite faces, beautiful high mountain meadows and a myriad of natural lakes, it is by far best known for its extreme remoteness and relentless 33 miles of slow going, low range rugged terrain.

In this short video, you’ll get to follow the adventure we had as we made our way across this relentlessly tough yet, beautiful trail. We hope you enjoy.

Love the video. No love for trail damage. Looked like a fun trip despite the weather and breakage.

Awesome video! Cali really is the Jeep promise land. Someday I'll make the pilgrimage west for a taste.

well, to get to the end of the trail, about 7-8 miles and, this last leg of the trail is pretty challenging even without the handicap. it wasn't an easy drive by any means but, i only needed to get strapped once. from there, mel had offered to trailer moby home but, we elected to try and drive the 325 miles back home on front wheel drive only. all i can say is thank god we had a dynatrac pro rock 60 and friends watching over us all the way home

probably the most expensive single trip we've ever run but, it was priceless
