Jeep Jamborees are off-road adventure weekends that bring together the outdoors, downto-earth people, and their Jeep 4x4s. These off-road treks have a long tradition dating
back to 1953 when 4x4 pioneer Mark A. Smith organized the first-ever Jeep Jamboree and
voyaged across the Sierra Nevada Mountains by way of the old Rubicon Trail. In 1954, Willys
Motors – then manufacturer of Jeep vehicles – became involved with the adventure, and Jeep
Jamborees have been an off-road tradition ever since.
A member of the Off-Road Hall of Fame and the Explorers Club, Mark A. Smith also led the
1978-79 Expedicion de las Americas – a 20,000-mile odyssey from the bottom of South
America to the top of North America, crossing the infamous Darien Gap – and headed the
1987 Camel Trophy expedition in Madagascar. Since founding Jeep Jamboree USA in 1982,
Mark has become a Jeep brand consultant and has conducted intensive training for the U.S.
Army Special Forces and law enforcement agencies. The Smiths’ Jeep Jamboree USA conducts
over 30 family-oriented Jeep 4x4 trips nationwide and is truly a family business. Daughter
Jill, President and CEO, brings camaraderie and excitement to thousands of Jeep 4x4 trips
annually, while son-in-law Pearse Umlauf, Vice President and General Manager, is focused on
expanding Jeep Jamboree USA, the world’s largest Jeep 4x4 adventure company.
Trail Ratings
Every Jeep Jamboree is rated from 1 (easiest) to 10 (most difficult). These ratings are based on the overall trail, not just on one
or two tough obstacles. Rain can increase ratings on all trails by one or two points. Numerically higher-rated Jamborees are
more likely to result in vehicle damage. Please remember, every Jeep 4x4 is subject to inspection prior to trail departure.
1-2
Obstacles and terrain are relatively easy to navigate.
In optimum weather conditions, some trails may not
require continual use of four-wheel drive (4WD).
3-5
Moderately demanding. Challenge for novice drivers.
Obstacles may include: mud holes, boulders, and
streams. Requires 4WD with 4LO.
6-7
Demanding. Challenge for most skill levels. Mud holes,
get deeper, boulders get larger, and climbs get steeper.
Requires 4WD with 4LO.
Very Demanding. Likelihood of getting stuck is high.
Mud holes may be deep, and rock climbing is more
arduous. Lifts and lockers are helpful. Requires 4WD
with 4LO.
8-9
Extremely demanding. Reserved for the toughest off-road
trip in the USA – the Rubicon Trail. Requires 4WD with 4LO.
10
(Not recommended for Jeep Patriot, Compass, Liberty, Cherokee,

Regardless of the rating and your experience level, you’ll get
plenty of help on your Jeep Jamboree. For starters, when
you register you’ll receive a coupon for a free copy of Mark A.
Smith’s Guide to safe, Common-Sense Off-Road Driving. It is
filled with useful off-highway driving tips. Once you arrive at
your Jamboree destination, you’ll get basic on site instruction
as well. For additional copies of Mark A. Smith’s Guide to Safe,
Common-Sense Off-Road Driving, please send $7.95 (includes
shipping and handling) to Mark A. Smith Off-Roading, Inc.,

NOTE: Some Jeep 4x4 models may be more susceptible to
vehicle damage on trails rated 5 or higher. If you have any
questions about your Jeep 4x4’s capability, please ask for
more information upon event registration.
WHAT’S A JEEP JAMBOREE?
It’s a full two-day, family oriented four-wheel-drive adventure that’s probably
unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Jeep Jamborees cater to every
level of expertise so they’re fun for everyone — from novice to veteran
and everyone in between. Any Jeep vehicle with a 4-LO transfer case can
participate — that includes everything from showroom stock all the way up
to highly modified rigs. Experienced guides help navigate you through scenic
switchbacks and some of the most challenging off-highway situations you
never thought your Jeep vehicle was capable of. And, perhaps best of all,
you’ll be meeting and making new friends along the way.
CLASSIC vs. JUST TRAILS:
“Classic” Jamborees are perfect for Jeep
adventurers who don’t want to worry about
preparing or planning meals – it’s all included! In
addition to the traditional Friday and Saturday
night dinner get-togethers, “Classic” Jamborees
provide guests with a hot breakfast as well as a
trail lunch on Friday and Saturday. Sound like a
tasty way to travel? Just look for the fork and knife
icon to identify “Classic” Jamborees.
“Just Trails” Jamborees include Friday and Saturday
night family style dinners, but give Jamboree guests
the opportunity to brown bag it, prepare their own
home-cooked specialties or try charming local
restaurants for their other meals. As an added
bonus, reduced meal costs for these trips allow
JJUSA to pass the savings on to you, making these
trips even more affordable for the entire family! If
