In this episode, we explored Elliot Mine trail in the rugged Jacumba Wilderness near the U.S./Mexico border. While out on the trail, we were able to explore the history of Smugglers Cave, wind up rocky switchbacks, and see the abandoned Elliot Mine.

Matt Moghaddam brought out his 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on 35-inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers, Sara Morosan of Baja Forged brought out her 2021 Ford Bronco on 37-inch Nitto Recon Grapplers and noted desert racer Chuck Dempsey of Baja Kits brought out his 2021 Ford Bronco on 37-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers.
While the trail may have started easy enough, once they neared the Elliot Mine, things got quite a bit tougher, with rock-covered switchbacks that they needed to crawl over. It’s in times like that where tires are important, and we were happy to have the Nittos under all of our rigs.
