That's awesome! I need to get out to Idaho!

Day 2 posted.

Day 2 started with a brisk spring morning. No matter, got the propane stove running to brew us all up some hot chocolate. After-which, we hit the trails. Not withstanding how scenic the first day was, it didn't hold a candle to what awaited us in Cathedral Valley: Temple of the Sun...

We all met up at Temple Mountain Campground, which is an area of group camps just west of Goblin Valley State Park. There is also a really cool Native American Panel nearby: Little Wild Horse is primarily a well-graded trail with occasionally wash-outs that follows a wash north/south. There...

Mere days before "social distancing" went from an awkward word grouping to a catchphrase, @Backroadexploration led a small group of members of Expedition Utah from Temple Mountain Campground (near Goblin Valley) through Capitol Reef. This was an overnight adventure spanning roughly 70 miles of...

My wife has DD and occasional sciatic pain. Luckily she is a on a stretch regimen prescribed by the doctor and taught by our work's Athletic Trainer. We were fortunately able to avoid surgery and her quality of life hasn't taken a significant hit IF she religiously does her stretches. If she...

We were aired down. The first Jeep (the one with the most footage) was on a new set of KM3s at 18psi. He could have gone lower, but he wasn't that high. Load Range E just doesn't flex unless you are in the single digits, and without beadlocks, he didn't want to go that low. He said he'd try...

The Shura road, right before dropping off at the Dewey Bridge.

Sunset on highway 128, following the Green River back into Moab.

As part of our final trips for 2019, a group of us got together for some trail riding in Moad in late fall. Part of us were to spend the time around Moab, living it large in a Condo (I was part of this group, my son and I bummin' a ride with my Dad in his JK Unlimited). The rest of our group...

@VORSHEER , yeah I got a good laugh out of that comment when reviewing the footage! I just compiled a report on the alternate entrances which can be tied to the Tower Arch trail: Willow Springs and Salt Valley. Both are significantly easier. I was going to do a new trip report/review thread...

Yeah, I've been going to Moab nearly annually since the late 80's and that was my first time. Embarrassing. It's a great trail!

Yeah, we toyed with the idea of running it the other direction later in the year when we started at Salt Valley Road, but we didn't have as much time. I need to get out and do Copper Ridge, that's the only one in the Arches area I haven't really explored. I took footage of Willow Springs and...

I took my family to Tower Arch as part of our weekend adventure in the Deadhorse Point/Moab area last summer. I have always been aware of this trail, but ironically have never bothered to take it. Probably because I've always seen the lineup of RVs and cars to get into Arches and figured...

I'm curious if @Fivespddisco can find a way to trim those wheel wells to accept 35"s, with the posted wheelbase, it's too small for 32"s for the type of terrain I encounter. After personally piloting a stock JKU rubicon across it's belly through the actual Rubicon Trail and talking to folks who...

That would be a sweet place to go for the eclipse. How was it? I'm surprised that even during the eclipse week Cave Falls was desolate. It is SO easy to get to! But it is out of the way, so I guess that's all it takes..

Here our our short trail reviews of each trail:

We had the opportunity of spending some days in Island Park and decided to go adventuring. I was expecting something akin to the high Colorado Rockies, but the terrain in Northern Idaho was pretty different. More trees, more water. Not as rocky. But amazing in its own right. And as most...

I can't wait to see one in person. Lots I like, lots that concern me. If I take the "Defender" name out of it, I like it a ton. If this was the Discovery 5 reveal, I'd be ecstatic. As a Defender, I'm a bit bummed that it's not as rugged/durable as I'd hoped and relies too much on its...

Excellent! One day I'd love to explore Australia. And I'm so jealous of the 105! Nice looking Range Rover too.
