River Crossing during our West Virginia Overland trip.

We started Thursday, came home Sunday night. Epic trip with 3 other 4Runners. Camped a different place every night....scoped out and documented new trails for others. Here's a 3 minute drone and GoPro vid of a River crossing.

Mine is the red Tacoma.

WV is a beautiful and wild state still. Looks like an awesome trip.

It absolutely is. I love W. VA.

 

Looks like a fun trip! Thanks for sharing.

 

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

 

Looks like an awesome time. Camp outing like this are what I'm most excited about owning a Tacoma now. By chance is this by black water falls and Canaan loop road?

 

Yup! Here's our website and you can download the file.

That's awesome! Seems like one heck of a journey. I had just gotten my truck, not 4WD and I was totally unaware of Canaan loop road. Just turned onto it on the side closer to Canaan valley, and was enjoying the nice peaceful drive. Hah, I had to turn around and climb out. Once I got to and down some gnarly boulders. My truck ain't ready for all that. Makes me wanna get it better suited for some of that stuff though.

 

The CV Loop road is not hard at all; best run clockwise starting from Canaan Heights, up the hill from Davis; takes around and hour; gets narrow on far side nearest Lindy Run. Several deepish looking water holes, but everything lays on bedrock so you cannot really get stuck. I would not run during the winter from Dec to March due to potential deep snow drifts.

 

Hey guys, I was supposed to be doing the whole loop with @Wheelspinner in April but I have a wedding the weekend he is going so I am going to explore the first half or so solo, most likely. My truck's pretty built so not too worried, but i want to know your favorite parts in the stretch that runs from Lake Moomaw all the way up past Reddish and Flagpole knob up to Paw Paw. I'll be running most of this during the week with the intention to finish near Winchester VA for a Big Dog's event. I'm hoping for some more technical trails but I fear most of that will be on the WV side vs the VA side.

 

Nice report

 

Supercool !!!!!


Thanks for posting the video & pics.

Looks like great times.

 

I'd love to tag along on a trail ride. Ever include people outside the group?

 

This may be our next trip. Great job!

 

When I open the page it directs me somewhere else. Where can I find the route?

Thank You

 

Any water leaking into the cab of the taco? Not looking to pull carpet and flood the inside like my friend did when he attempted a similar crossing in his subaru

 

Looks like fun, but we have a rule. One vehicle gets wet at a time. I've seen "easy" crossings have a deep hole no one knew about.
