For our first stop on The Great American Crawl in 2024 we return to Las Cruces, New Mexico for some extremely vertical rock crawling. The terrain out here offers tons of grip and features huge rocks that get our vehicles flexed out and turned at some of the wildest angles we've ever seen. Warpath is one of the most difficult trails around so we thought it would make perfect sense to start our weekend with it. See who made it, who winched, and who broke on our first Great American Crawl of 2024 in Las Cruces!

So cool to watch you guys do this trail. Me and 4 of my buddies actually found this canyon back in about 2004, while we were running Apache Canyon, and decided to open it up. I actually named this trail the Warpath because it was so extreme and such a battle and in proximity to Apache Canyon (Seemed to make sense at the time!)! We ran this trail 6 times before we all made it thru without someone breaking something. For a 3/4 mile long trail, it can be an extremely long day and into the night to get thru it if things dont go smoothly. It was really tough when it was raw in the beginning. We actually carried a drill out there and cored a hole in the rock to hammer in an old axle for a winch point on the big waterfall. Is that still there? That big fall was hit and miss, a few of us would made it without line, but it was on the edge! During those early days, one of my buddies broke his transfer case just after that sqeeze rock in that wedged area. We had to leave his jeep there, finish the trail (There is no going back the way you came in!) drive all the way back to Cruces after a long day on the trail, get a new transfer case, go back and replace it on the trail, and then still drive out. Man that was a long weekend! I took Harry Wagner out there in 2010 and he did an article (www.motortrend.com/events/154-1010-new-jeep-trail-warpath/ ). That trail was always super fun and always challenging. It's nowhere near the hardest trail out there in that area these days though.
Looked like a great day wheeling, almost no brakeage,definitely a few capable rigs,thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Love the T handle for the child in the unleashed Jeep.
love the vids my fav
Cord needs to switch those KC's to Baja! Awesome scenery. That gatekeeper was crazy. Awesome rigs as always.
The Great American Crawl, it's better every year, mellow technical trail
Warpath was one of the first serious rock buggy trails I saw on YT. The undercut wall is insane and it didn't even look like the way.
No free shirt clip? Very cool trail guys that huge gatekeeper ledge looked wild🤘🤙
Great video @rockstargarage. I’m a 3 xl just in case you’re still giving away shirts. 😂😂
Warpath isn't for the weak hearted but this built up jeeps they did awesome and rock buggy is in a lead of it's own
I mean these are barely jeeps, more like a jeep body ontop of a all aftermarket chasiss and suspension
