Utah Tour March 2015

My brother and I had some time off at the same time so we decided to hit a bunch of major spots in Utah.

Arches National Park








Driving Long Canyon Road to Pucker Pass






Pucker Pass


White Rim Trail














Spooky Gulch and Peek-A-Boo Gulch

 

The Devil's Garden




Capitol Reef National Park














Had a visitor come to our campsite in the morning


Bryce Canyon National Park






Zion National Park (Angels Landing)


Lake Blanche Trail and Sundial Peak


After that I met up with zscott and got my new Prinsu Designs roof rack with integrated 40" Light bar installed. We drove back into Moab that night and I was sure thankful for that light bar. It made driving the trail to the campsite much easier.

This was taken the morning after the install along Gemini Bridges Rd.


We went up Sand Flats Rd. to Castle Valley Overlook


Onion Creek Trail. We ran the trail at around 5pm and the lighting was perfect and made for some pretty cool pics.










Fisher Towers


Then these last few were not actually in Utah but instead in Colorado. We wanted to go up Pikes Peak but the last 3 miles of road were blocked off due to snow. So we went up as far as we could.

 

Nice photos thanks for posting them...

 

Looks like a great trip. Can't wait to get out there myself

 

Nice! We were out there last October and hit several of those places too. But we didn't drive all the way from CT! Holy cow. And you even got a mod in. Nice job on saving shipping costs. LOL.

 

Very cool. Great pictures. Thanks.

 

Nice pics! Helped get me in the mood for my Moab Trip coming up in 2 weeks! Going to Cruise Moab with a friend and will be doing Elephant Hill, Moab Rim, and Hell's revenge.

 

Looks like an awesome trip, and fantastic pics. I would say you did a damn fin job of seeing a lot of the great spots in the state.

 

Awesome! & inspiring!!!

 

Great shots, glad you had a good trip out here to UT!!! Love the new roof rack, I also have one from Zscott. He does great work.

 

Awesome! I saw a lot of your pics on the facebook TW page. I wish I had more time to spend on my trip.

 

Thanks for sharing! Making me want to take my truck back out to Utah. I must say, a few of them were magazine worthy! Great looking truck, looks like your brother and you had a great time!

 

Amazing pictures and looks like it was a great trip!I plan on doing a Utah trip this year after spending time in Cedar city Utah last year staying in my girlfriends son in laws parents cabin.

 

wow that's quite the trip! knocked off some great spots! i gotta get down to spooky and peekaboo one of these days and explore cathedral valley as well..there's some really cool hidden areas near capitol reef

 

I think I could sepnd a week around Capitol Reef and the Waterpocket Fold and Boulder Mountain alone. Fall would be good for the Aspens. As it was we only had two days in that area and did Burr Trail out and back, then Cathedral Valley fast the next day before heading all the way across to Deadhorse/Canyonlands that night. Too much driving, not enough chilling and hiking too.

 

Hey brother, I'm planning a trip to Utah later this year and I'm curious, how many nights did you camp out in the wilderness? Were you out there for like two weeks or did you hit up most of those spots in a few days?

 

Incredible trip, awesome photos, very inspiring. I'm planning on doing a very similar trip roughly a year from now. I'm thinking of Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, Canyonlands and Arches. With that I want to make sure my Taco is built up enough to easily handle the trek. With that is your Tacoma TRD Pro stock or did you swap out to bigger tires? If so did you go with 33" and do you think they were needed/critical to the trip?

 

Wow! Those pics would make anyone want to travel to Utah! I have a feeling after attending Rock Therapy this year the addiction will never go away and ill be back every year

 

Naoh, everything I did could be done with a stock truck and I'd venture to say even without using 4wd. That being said my truck isn't stock. I have a full set of steel skids and rock sliders. I checked them both after my trip and I didn't see any evidence of them getting scrapped up by rocks. I hoped that helps, good luck on your trip I'm sure you'll love it.

 

Has Toyota contacted you yet to use your pics in the TRD Pro brochure? Those are some epic shots. I especially like the river shots. Great job!
