First Moab Visit

Hahahahah I just finished a joint out there and got anxious that I won’t be able to finish the trail since some of today was gnarly for me.

I’m still new and learned a lot today. Didn’t bottom out, just smelled like clutch at some parts haha.

I think I have another 100 miles to go, started late yesterday and kept hopping out of the truck to double check things.

Thanks for the reply though! Have a good night.

 

2020 tacoma OR stock suspension (rock sliders and ridge grappler tires) Did a solo Moab trip for the first time. Arches for a day White rim trail @ canyonlands for two days. Some Mt biking (half the whole enchilada).

Hells revenge solo with no partner or spotter might have been a bad idea. Overall first half pretty easy once you get over the can’t see where your going up the fins. Back half way more technical. Ran into some Tx Jeep guys that lent me a walkie and I followed them out. Took me 5 hrs great trip little rear bumper damage and tail pipe got a flat spot overall no regrets. Highly recommend a spotter/partner though my neck was killing me after hanging out the window for 5 hrs. I’ll wait till I get a 3 in lift suspension upgrade to go back, didn’t help I had about 500lbs on the bed with camping supplies, coolers, RTT, and rack. Rock sliders are 100% a must though.

 

Would you recc white rim trail without sliders?

I’m hoping to finish Kokopelli today then white rim trail the next couple days.

Thoughts ?

 

White Rim can easily be done without sliders, didn't use them on that trail. Great trail if you have two days to be easy and cost through some very scenic and secluded areas.

 

Just finished it. It was out of this world beautiful. Fun trail though.

 

Where did you end up camping?

 

I was supposed to head to White Crack the first night, but I ended up helping some kid get his big ass Tahoe out of Lathrop Canyon, so Gooseberry the first night and then was gonna camp again at Murphy, but ended up finishing the trail early enough to head back to Moab to chill.

 

Damn when I started I got on Shaffer trial later than planned so first day didn’t get out much and hit WhiteCrack just in time to get set up at sunset. Awesome site super secluded was crazy windy though. Next day took my time cruising around having some fun hardscramble was a good time got some hiking in too. I Was going to stay at potato bottom but after taking a gummy and sun setting didn’t wanna deal with hard scramble again so I ended up heading back to BLM site in Moab.
