This site is for the full-sized Bronco, not the Bronco Sport which is actually an entirely separate vehicle with different capabilities. You might try the broncosportforum.com, although it seems to be down at the moment.

I have the full size! Just traded in!

Great, then you should change your profile to reflect that. Otherwise people will have the wrong idea of what your vehicle is capable of.

You can use the site's search function using "Joshua Tree" and get a bunch of hits. This one was good when I read it last year: Pinkham Canyon.

We did berdoo canyon, it was mild, but fun. The entry is kind of trashy and a little sketchy (typical shooting area) but it gets lots better when you pass all of that up and get into the actual canyon

From Berdoo Canyon you’ll connect to Geology Tour Road and can take that to Park Boulevard (the main road in JT). You can take that to Pinto Basin road and go south to Old Dale Road. Old Dale Road will take you out of the park onto some BLM land where there’s some dispersed camping spots and more trails. It eventually connects to the 62 from which you can head home. You’ll want to air back up when you hit Park Boulevard since you’ll be on pavement for a while.

I’d recommend picking up a National Geographic map for the park.

I would also recommend getting an America the Beautiful pass for $80 prior to starting this adventure otherwise you'll have to pay $30 to get out of the park or take berdoo Canyon back out... I also went on what YouTubers are calling the scariest Trail in Joshua Tree. I have to admit I didn't make it to the very top. I turned around on the last switch back because the road got super narrow and I'm not a huge fan of shelf roads anyways.

This guy talks way too much but you get to see part of the trail...

If you take Berdoo in and Old Dale out to the 62 you won’t have to pay (no stations). That being said, you should contribute to the national parks so buy the America the beautiful pass and then you won’t get bad karma for bypassing the pay stations
