Ride to Adventure

This week, we visit The Cliffs Insane Terrain in Marseilles, Illinois. We'll meet up with the owner and take out two of his trusty heavy duty jeeps named Porky and Peewee.

The Palo Duro Canyon is the 2nd largest canyon in America. Twice a year, the privately owned Figure 3 Ranch welcomes off-roaders to explore this challenging & scenic terrain. Host John Trousdale joins the Jeep Exclusive Club of Amarillo on their trip.

Over 70 years ago, a labor unrest between the miners & the coal companies in Harlan County, Kentucky was at a fever pitch. Today the wheelers & land owners have found common cause by creating a 7,000 acre off-road "amusement park."

Host John Trousdale is an avid mountain biker but John has never ridden a dirt bike before & he's being challenged to take his rookie run on two of the highest & toughest back country passes in Colorado, the legendary Black Bear Pass & Imogene Pass.

It may be called Badlands but it's all good when it comes to off-roading. Over 1,200 acres of an abandoned Indiana rock quarry has found new life as a premier off-road park. Join host Natalie Jackson during a press event at Badlands Off-Road Park.

Host John Trousdale wants to go fishing. But not just anywhere, he wants to travel by ATV to a high mountain lake, called a tarn, at over 12,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies. Problem is, it's late September & weather in the high country can get real nasty.

The Colorado Desert of Southern California is about as dry as it gets but host John Trousdale & friends set out on dirt bikes to find the only water for miles. The Lower Willows is the water source for a local herd of rare big horn sheep.

Off-roaders in the Texas Panhandle have very few places to go wheeling. One remaining location, the Canadian River north of Amarillo was about to be closed until the Texas Off-Road Association got pro-active at the grassroots level.

Arroyos, Slot Canyons & Wind Caves set this area of southern California desert apart from the rest. John Trousdale joins expert riders to explore this challenging & mysterious looking area, but all with a twist, without making a sound.

Host John Trousdale joins a Tennessee Land Rover group at Superlift Park near Hot Springs, Arkansas to test the saying "As slow as possible, as fast as necessary." One problem, it's monsoon season in the Razorback State.
