Description
Welcome back to the Camo Convoy Podcast — where we talk all things overland, off-road, and the great outdoors.
This week, we ran Potts Mountain Jeep Trail — the one everyone calls “The Hardest Trail in the East.”
So… is it actually true?
We loaded up a group of mild builds (Frontiers, Mountaineer, 35s, mostly stock geometry) and hit the trail with zero prior experience — just reputation and expectations.
What we found might surprise you.
In this episode:
- Full breakdown of Potts Mountain from start to finish
- The hardest obstacles (and what they actually require)
- What you really need to complete the trail
- Why the difficulty might be overhyped
- Where the trail shines (and where it doesn’t)
- Trail conditions, airing down, and line choice
- Real-world performance from non-built rigs
And yeah…
- A completely unnecessary driveshaft sacrifice
If you’ve been thinking about running Potts Mountain — this is the honest version you won’t get from highlight reels.
