Now that it has been almost a year since your original post I am curious to hear what you ended up doing. We camp regularly with our two boys (3 and 6) and are about to have our third. I think there has been some pretty good advice given already, the only thing I would add is to evaluate what...

A Few More Adventures The past few months have been a lot of fun and we have been able to go on some really cool weekend trips. Most notably heading through the San Rafael Swell to Poison Springs and exploring the West Desert.

Shoot me an email backroadexploration@gmail.com and I can send you our tracks.

Unless we get some crazy snow in the area I think you should be good. Last year was a big winter and I hit the San Rafael Swell (part 1) area and it was slick but still tons of fun in late February this year. I made a video about that trip so you can get a little bit of an idea from it. As for...

No doubt the west is incredible. I lived in AZ for a few years and loved how much exploring I was able to do in the Winter in my Jee. Mike and I did a fun day drip last year in LHC, AZ which was a blast. Getting my brother into these trips has been one of the best parts, we’ve always had a good...

Winter is closing in on us in Utah and we are trying to get in as much wondering before the snow starts to fly. My brother Mike and I decided to head out on a 2 day adventure. We set out Thursday night and found a fun place to camp just outside of Huntington Utah in the San Rafael Swell. Like...

A couple of weeks ago my brother and I headed up Fairview Canyon and over near Millers Flat Reservoir for a weekend of camping with family. I put together a video Trip report of our adventure in the mud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and San Rafael Swell are my favorite areas of Southern Utah. They are less busy than Zion, Bryce and Arches. There is a cool route from Goblin Valley (also busy but super fun for the kids) to Capitol Reef and Cathedral Valley. Which you can then follow up the Burr Trail...

Part 2 Is Finally Finished Part 2 of my trip is finally finished! I was hoping to have it done weeks ago but I wasn't able to finish it up before leaving on a few trips. Finally back for a weekend and I was able to finish things up. Night two was pretty brutal. We had a crazy storm come...

Cathedral Valley has been a place I have wanted to visit for a very long time. Last fall while visiting Goblin Valley I got the idea that it would be pretty cool if I could find a way to drive from just outside of Goblin Valley on Behind the Reef trail to Cathedral Valley. After spending a few...

Thanks! I really appreciate the insight on the trail I am looking forward to going back and doing the hike.

2 days not 200 that was a typo. Cant seem to update my title. Tires spinning, mud flying and I'm not going anywhere. It's been overcast all day and I'm looking at a steep section of trail and can't seem to get enough traction to get out of the bottom of this wash...

I lived in Lake Havasu for a few years and really learned to love exploring the desert. Not long after picking up my Land Cruiser my brother started to really take an interest in Overlanding. Finally in November he pulled the trigger on a 2016 Toyota 4Runner. Since we were both going to be in AZ...

Love the series! Inspired that you found so many free places to camp. Beautiful scenery. Our goal is to do a European tour trip and this has been such an awesome inspiration! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Michab, Thanks! I think Cruiseroutfit had the best advice, I just signed up today. After spending the past 30 minutes reading on ExpeditionUtah I see I have been missing out. Tons of info there and trails I want to try. For me I grew up spending a lot of time in the mountains in Utah so most of...

Last weekend we loaded up the family for a little day trip to Strawberry Reservoir to test out our new to us canoe. Fall in Utah is absolutely incredible the leaves are changing and we have been trying to spend as much time in the mountains before snow starts to hit. We decided to load up the...

Totally agree! We have loved it! I have been able to see a lot of places I have never been and show my family a bunch of my favorite places along the way.

Great write up! Looks like you had a really great trip!
