    Cool, I read thru that when you started the thread. So we are planning on following that path for the most part. I'm so stoked for this trip! Are you creating a route that can be shared on GPX file? Ill be looking for cool stuff along that route and mark on my map.

    Anyone who is still interested in this trip:
    Could you please post below and tag myself and Greg (@goblue82) in your post.

    The thread has been inactive for a while. If this is going down I would like to see who is actually still planning on attending.

    Thank You

    I have the time off work but have started looking at other trips cause Im not really sure this is still happening. I have been the only active member here and haven't heard from Greg in a while. If he hits me up I'll probably still go.

    Dont wanna speak for Greg, but I have been talking to him, the way things are working out I think it would be better to do this trip another time. However, if he does decide to do this I will be there.

    Im looking into hitting some really hard 4x4 trails around shaver lake. Still need to check on weather conditions. Thunk it snowed up there the other week.

    Yeah, I've spent some time exploring near shaver. Its an amazing area. I definately plan on going back this summer. The trails in my opinion are typically harder than they are rated. Should be fun on your 35's though.

    Bald Mountain is open year round. It is a place you must go see. There are 3 different trails that go up to the top. Even with a built rig two of the three will be a challenge.

    The surrounding lakes, strawberry, swamp, etc. are probably still very snowy.

    If I dont go to Utah I am going to Yosemite for a few days and maybe shaver lake for a day or two. Still up in the air on that though.

    I didnt do a report. Escalante was amazing. Had a huge super bloom. I dont normally get excited about flowers but it was an epic sight for sure. Didnt do the full southern traverse. Went thru Zion, Escalante, and a little past Lake Powell.
