Background info- I would consider myself moderately skilled at off-roading technical trails. Have done a fair amount of other types of off-roading. Majority of this has been on four-wheelers, dirt bikes, and lifted trucks. I purchased my first Jeep two years ago, which led to an interest in gaining experience I consider to be more technical. I have a 2020 JLUR, 3.6 manual. Recently installed a 2 inch lift and 35x12.50 MT Baja Boss AT tires. Stock 4.10 gearing for now. A few other mods but nothing I would consider relevant for the topic at hand.
We have a family trip planned for Beasley Knob OHV next weekend. A thorough search through the forum, Google, YouTube, etc. provided some decent information but I am hoping the forum members who have been there will be able to provide some additional information. Two themes that kept popping up in my search- go when the trail is dry and you'd benefit greatly from having a winch. I do not have a winch installed in the Jeep yet. However, the weather looks to be in our favor. The highest chance of rain is on Monday (24% chance last I checked). Staying around 10% or less chance the other days.
My two kids (ages 2 and 5) have both been very interested in all things Jeep. So I try to include them as much as possible with maintenance, modifications, and "off-roading" (for them it has mostly just been dirt roads and a few mud puddles here and there). The next adventure will be their first badge of honor trail. I don't anticipate maintaining their interest for very long while we are on the trail. A couple hours seems realistic, but spending anymore than half the day at Beasley Knob seems unrealistic.
For those with knowledge and/or experience at Beasley Knob, do you have recommendations for trails within Beasley Knob that are recommended based on my limitations (skill level, limited time, passengers) and not having a winch? It seems like 93c would be a decent trail to try out but not sure about the other ones? I gather 93b and 93g seem to be much more technical and advanced than the current trip calls for. Any input is welcomed and appreciated. Recent picture of the Jeep included below just because.
