UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

So far only seen one or two other hikes along the Bullfrog route, but would only add 30 ish mins vs the hike I have listed.
This day can be a late night if needed since our plan is only 1 hike in Bryce then drive down to st george, so might be our morning of little bit extra sleep. Figure if we do end up in San Rafael area instead of moab the morning before Capital we'll be totally fine

 

Side hikes. Side hikes aren't what you see when you follow the recommendation on a pamphlet or map. But if you just want to see what everybody else sees, just use the publicly supplied information. And if you ditch the watch you get to explore and enjoy yourself.

The Swell has a lot of Indian art.

 

Point seen. We've got 10 days to do Moab back to Reno including 1 night in vegas (friend wants to do vegas for some reason) and stopping in Death valley and Mammoth to see his fam. If It was up to me we'd spend 10 days doing just Moab through the Utah parks and to Grand Canyon. I'm hoping to be able to add in one night in Moab over how planning looks right now. its all tentative too, but want to see it laid out.

 

You could also hit 70 to Lower Last Chance to As Above So Below to Cathedral Valley to 24, then 12 into Bryce (or 24 to Antimony and then drop into Bryce). I would consider worth it to take an extra day, and swap out some of the hiking for rambling around that area.

 

Does this shop do alignment work?

I've been disappointed so far locally by a couple places who don't/won't/can't give me a higher caster number than stock specs...

 

I've heard Alignment Specialists does good jobs with lifted tacos as well as Pyle Automotive. Haven't been to either yet but will be going to one of those places next.

 

You can call RLT Suspension and talk to Miles, he knows a shop that does alignments for his customers normally after suspension work has been completed.

 

Fat Bob's garage is in that area and will do lifted Tacos. They did my alignment after adding SPC UCAs and a lift; truck drove great.

 

Was Fat Bobs pretty competitively priced?

 

I had the work done like 6 years ago at this point... Pretty sure I gave all the paperwork to the new owner when I sold the truck.

 

Fat Bob’s is around $150 for an alignment. They have done a great job on my Tundra and 4Runner. Both are lifted with aftermarket upper control arms.

 

Yalls state is amazing. I got laughs for taking a Tacoma on hells revenge. Was 1 of 2 Toyotas I saw while on it. Mountain bikes in the bed made ppl laugh too. Only dirtbikes sxs and jeeps when we were on it.

Canyonlands is harder to comprehend how it exists than arches, therefore I liked it better. On to capital reef and Bryce right now. Cheers

 

haha! I've taken my fully stock tacoma on Hell's. did just fine. didn't take it up the gate, obviously. but it did just fine on everything else, just gotta be more selective on line choice.

 

Spotted this beast in the Goblin Valley parking lot a couple Sundays back.

I would put money on that it is from Colorado City/Hildale

 

Watching the Dodgers get pummeled by the Cubs and drinking Whistle Pig 10.
