WNC JeepFest ‘24 Trail Videos

Western North Carolina JeepFest was a a great event. Hosted in Maggie Valley by the WNC Jeepers, this event continues to grow every year and why not? This is such a great location for an event like this nestled in the WNC mountains. In addition to the festival ground activities there are guided trail rides in the local mountains. I was asked to lend a hand and guide a few trails so I was able to lead the Buzzard Roost/Goat Trail ride on Friday, 6/7/24 at 1pm as well as the Shelton Laurel Trail ride Saturday, 6/8/24 at 1pm. Both rides were capped at 25 vehicles and tickets for the rides sold out about a week in advance so plan ahead if you would like to get in on one of these rides in future JeepFests. I have posted videos of both rides on the SSO YouTube channel.




The Goat Trail has become pretty rutted out in places which makes for a slippery challenge. We utilized spotters and all vehicles passed through without problems.


The Shelton Laurel Trail is a shorter ride and easier in regard to driving. It has a few off camber sections which liven up the trail, but still stock friendly.
