Turkey Claw

Turkey Claw isn’t just a trail, it’s a rite of passage for true offroad warriors. Tucked into the legendary Johnson Valley, California, the stomping grounds of King of the Hammers, this short but savage rock-crawling beast will challenge your rig and your nerve from the very first boulder.

Whether you're behind the wheel of a nimble Jeep 2-door JL, a classic CJ, or a fully-built 4-door JKU, Turkey Claw doesn’t discriminate, it dishes out punishment and thrills in equal measure. Expect steep climbs, axle-snapping rocks, and narrow lines that demand precision, guts, and a serious sense of adventure. Body damage? Possible. Driveline carnage? Maybe. Epic stories and unforgettable memories? Guaranteed.

If you're craving a heart-pounding challenge in SoCal’s offroad playground, head southwest from Means Dry Lake and put Turkey Claw on your must-conquer list. It's not just a trail, it’s a test of everything you and your 4x4 are made of.
