Two Tacomas take on the Elephant Hill 4x4 Trail in the Needles district of the Canyonlands NP

We travel overland in the Canyonlands. This video follows our travels as we traverse the Elephant Hill Trail to the Confluence overlook then to the Bobby Jo 2 campsite, then south through the BLM land and out Bobby's Hole.

We are James and Elizabeth and have been traveling the USA for the last year in out Tacoma towing our Home built Teardrop. Trailer.

For the last few weeks we have been traveling with our good friend Jay Capers of Backyard_Capers. He drive a Tacoma named Pongo. It is Orange.

Thank you for taking the time to make this awesome video!

Thanks for the content. Do you think a Ram Power wagon would fit between some of those narrow rock passageways???

I've done Bobby's hole many times on motorcycles. I took my 6 yr old son on my Moto Morini 501 Camel from Moki Dugway to Bear Ears to Beef Basin to Elephant Hill to Monticello to when he was 8 he rode one of my bikes from Beef Basin into The Needles....good balance

Super cool video. What kind of gas mileage do you get in those 8 miles?

Did this trail in June so much fun and the scenery was awesome

Just watched your video and I enjoyed the mix of google Mapes and trail footage and you commentary was great. Thanks for sharing.

I love the interaction between you two! I really enjoy your video and the information you provide. Thank you

Very cool! Would love to take my 2020 Taco Pro out there.

Great video. Was out there a few weeks ago for a solo day trip, your video really captured the spectacle and beauty better than my few pictures. The Google fly over was great. Hard to describe the wonderful beauty of the region. Enjoyed!

Great video guys! Question, we're doing this trail in April in well equipped 4Runners, I have an offroad teardrop trailer that I often pull that is 9' long and has an even better clearance than the 4Runner. Do you think that I'd be able to pull it or is it best to leave her home on this adventure? Thanks in advance!

What an adventure! Thanks for the great video and the Google Earth fly-over.

At the overlook that has better be video by Jay Capers' camera, without Jay Capers' head near it! Nice!

Initially I was wondering if my small tired 4x4 could make it but since Tacoma’s aren’t agile nor any good at rock crawling I’ll have a much easier time;)

Great video. Curious - what tire pressure did you run?
