#2 - High Alpine Lake and Mountain Top Views in El Dorado National Forest

Taking the family out into the backcountry is always an adventure, but tackling the rugged trails of El Dorado National Forest in a full-size rig takes it to the next level. In this video, we pack up our 2013 GMC Sierra Z71 and head out with our family of four for an unforgettable overland trail ride to McKinstry Lake and the stunning vistas of Jarrett Peak. Navigating a full-size truck through tighter mountain trails presents its own unique set of challenges, from tight switchbacks to wheel placement on rocky climbs. Watch as we put the Sierra's Z71 suspension to the test, find the perfect lakeside campsite, and take in the incredible panoramic views from the top of Jarrett Peak. Whether you are planning your own El Dorado National Forest itinerary or looking for inspiration for your next family off-road trip, this route delivers incredible scenery and just the right amount of technical driving.
