VIDEO : JKX 2020 - Chile Challenge Trails & Gila Cliff Dwellings New Mexico / PART 2
Day 2 of the Nitto JK Dirt Experience would take us to the north of Las Cruces and up into the Caballo Mountains. This is an area that the locals refer to as Area 51 but most know as the location of the current Chile Challenge. Our first trail of the day was a beautiful canyon with some challenging ledges and big rock obstacles and as I was told, is called Hookers Corner. After our 4LO fun, we made our way to the west, up into the Gila National Forest and visited one of the most remote National Monuments in the lower 48, the Gila Cliff Dwellings.
For the first time in almost 20 years, Cindy and I did not get to spend the first week of November in Las Vegas, Nevada, like we always do and to cover all the cool new parts, accessories, wheels and tires being made for the Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator. I am of course talking about the world famous SEMA Show and just like everything else in this crazy dumpster fire of a year, the show got cancelled. Fortunately, not all was lost and all thanks to Nitto as they decided to hold their 10th Annual JK-Experience on that week instead. And, as luck would have it, we were invited to join in on the fun! Presented by KMC Wheels, this awesome adventure would start in Las Cruces, New Mexico and take us all the way to Barstow, California almost 800 miles to the west and loosely following the original route of the very first JK-Experience.
