The canyon we explored contained many Anasazi treasures. The canyon offered fresh water and places to farm. What else could be better? I still think it was a very rough life. Survival was the name of the game. Enjoyment and wonder was ours...What made the area so unique was the T shaped...
Our days were spent like this...We would hike 5-7 miles per day and then rally to another campsite to spend the evening. The roads we encountered were relatively mellow. There were a few rough spots but it was amazing that the county graded and improved the roads way out there. We were 60...
Going to down the access road to get to Dark Canyon proved to be a little complicated...One, none of us had been down there before. Two, we had a wide range of vehicles. A few outfitted LC 100s, a brand new Tacoma, a Dodge Dakota, and a full size Chevy. The road becomes tight and brushy at...

The final day involved riding some trails over by the state park. Oh...They are so much fun!
Oil Town or not...Vernal...
Vernal...Not sure what you know but it's a boom town! Natural gas and oil is all over. So too are the monster trucks and new buildings all over the place. Just over the past few years; the amount of restaurants and hotels being constructed is crazy. However, if one looks and searches; one...
I have owned both...Will never buy a Jeep. A great trail rig but not comfy at all on getting to the trail. After all, there is a lot of highways to cover before one gets to the backcountry, trail, etc. Not sure of your budget, but have you thought of a 200 series cruiser. Power...
