We hit the road early the next morning for the North Cascades National Park to hike Maple Pass. 7.1 miles, and 2,200' of elevation gain. We didn't have ferry reservations, but we decided last minute to try to take one from Coupeville to Port Townsend. We arrived with minutes to spare...

Small falls along the way. Lunch Tower Lookout (48.645007,-116.770169) I woke up the next morning to a mama moose and her calf trotting down the road. My windshield was filthy, so this is the best picture I got of either of them. Relaxing in the Iron Creek near the abandoned Horse...

MAGRUDER MASSACRE (1863) Along the Lolo Motorway (46.415718,-115.412488) North Fork Clearwater River The Blue Cabin near Wallace, ID is a privately owned cabin that is open to the public on a first come first serve basis. It sleeps up to 6 people, has an antique stove, sink, and shower...

Some (graded) switchbacks on the way back out. Several rusted cars hanging out on the cliff side as a friendly reminder to take it easy. Later I made my way over to Chicken Corner(s). This was 7 days into the trip, and at this point I'd only taken a couple of camp showers. I drove up to...

One of my earlier plans was to run the Utah Backcountry Discover Route, but southern Utah in July sounded miserable. I was kept a pretty loose schedule, so I decided to make my way over to Moab. It rained most of the drive over, so when I got there it was ovecast and a magnificent 61* at noon...

I left the Ridgeway area, and headed north to Marble. They had huge chunks of marble scattered through "town". I stopped at Slow Groovin' BBQ for lunch, and it was pretty good. Drove up to the Crystal Mill in Crystal. It was a bumpy, but easy ride. I decided to take Lead King Basin trail to...

Driving back into town, I noticed a metal rattle/jingling sound coming from the front, passenger wheel well. I pulled over a few times, but never could pin point the noise. I finally made it to camp, and pulled the wheel off. As I did that, the dust cap fell out of the bore of the wheel. I...

My initial plans were to drive to Tuktoyuktuk, then over to Alaska. Well thanks to COVID I wasn't able to cross the Canadian border, but I had a month of vacation scheduled, and I wasn't about to stay at work. I left Texas on July 18th for 28 days. I traveled through NM, CO, UT, ID, MT, WA, OR...

How are people powering the LED strip that comes with the tent?

Our '17 4Runner and '04 Taco

I love the classic ARB styling, but my vote is for the hybrid bumper. I went crazy on my old Jeep, and decided to keep our 5G 4Runner a bit more tame. I'm running a hidden winch mount and factory bumper and love how it looks unmodified.

I don't have an aluminum RTT, but I do have a 2017 4R with an XL RTT on a Gobi Stealth no rise. I have mounted it on the Gobi cross bars, but I thought they were a little to close to the roof rack and made it a pain to bolt it on. This is fine if you don't remove your RTT after every trip like I...

We've had a RTT for 2 years now, and with roughly 10k miles in road trips with it on, including a two week trip from TX to Canada. We always pre-pack it at home with the SB mattress, a 2" topper

Thanks! I'm sure you saw a few of the pics on the group page.

We were checking a few different apps, and I looked around online a bit before for coordinates, so we never really had an issue. Campsites in the NPs fill up pretty quickly though, and sun doesn't set until after 10:30pm. Thanks! As pretty as it was, I'm not sure if we'll go back any time...

Poutine wasn't terrible, I just probably wouldn't order it again...I thought it was crazy that a restaurant said it was illegal to serve burgers any way other than well done. I'm not very familiar with Utah, other than Moab, the last time I was in Moab I was 12. As far as Colorado, I love the...

Canmore was nice, were you out and about for the Canada Day parade? Glacier was our favorite for hiking, but we didn't do quite as much on the Canada side. The weather was nice and cool the whole time, until we got down to Utah and then back home. It's gotten up to 100 this week...I'm no...

Day 13 Packed up camp and hit the trail, La Sal Pass. We didn't take any pictures as we were going on this one, until we got to a downed tree across the trail. The ladder on the RTT was just tall enough that we wouldn't quite fit. As we were discussing options, a Tundra with three Utah locals...

Day 12 Moab bound! [ Our first stop in Moab was Dome Plateau. While not as difficult as the trails I take my Jeep on, it was still fun to get off the pavement and pull the transfer case lever and try out the new Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws. We hung around town for a bit; got dinner...
