First MOAB TRIP!

So did ya go? How was it?

 

EVERYTHING didn't go to planned LOL. My buddy and I decided to skipped Moab. We spent a few days at the Grand Canyon. Well worth it!!! Then went to Zion... Beautiful place but too much tourist. I will probably go next year with a buddy since people recommended not going off-road alone.(My taco is all stock). I'll hit other places like Sedona!!!!!!! aswell. I'll upload some pictures once I get home.

 

Thank you .

 

Do White Rim first to break in your confidence. The rocks in Moab are super grippy. You should be fine with Hell’s Revenge. We didn’t get to do Fins and Things but I heard it was pretty easy. We did Poison Spider and one of my buddies did it in a stock Taco but we do have good spotters.

 

Just got back from Moab and Arches. You would have loved it. We did some trials like Willow Springs Roads and Mill Canyon Road and it was great (we brought maps and lots of water and some snacks). FYI, did it in my stock OR. We're planning to go to Zion next and thanks for the info on the tourist. Here's a pic on Willow Springs Road

 

Most of the popular trails in Zion was closed due to high water levels and etc. So angels landing was the only one open. It was like LA Traffic but with humans. My first and last night in Zion we had 25mph Winds. Felt like someone was shaking our tent ever 10min. Worst part you just hear it coming down the valley LOL. WE left early that morning.

 

Wow! There were a lot of people at Arches too, but by mid to late afternoon it got better and that's when we did things in the park. The same thing happened to us at Arches our last night heavy winds and rain. My wife couldn't sleep because she thought we were going to blow away with the tent (my sons slept through the whole thing).

 

One of the park rangers told us Arches get extremely back since everyone trying to get a photo for Instagram and other social media. I highly recommend you hit up the Grand Canyon and Sedona next trip!

 

@BalutTaco make sure you visit the Moab Information Center when you get to Moab. They have a lot of good information on trails and things to do (shout out to @MTgirl and @Unner for this tip).

 

My goals to get my Rig ready for Top of the world!!!

 

Yeah, one day it took us like 40 minutes to get to the campsite because of the people taking photos. Grand Canyon is on our to do, hopefully in the next couple of years when our youngest son is a little older so we can hike to the bottom. Wife and I were there before we had the kiddos and it's an amazing place.

 

Yeah, definitely need to that for Top of the World. My truck is stock so didn't do anything crazy.

 

Ohh are you talking about bright angels trail? MANNNNNN I've only done the 12mile of it. But we started around 11am and ended around 6pm.

 

Yeah, we did that one with some friends and went down to Indian Gardens. We had some lunch and then headed back up. We started like at 7am and finished around 4pm. To the bottom we took South Kaibab to go down and Bright Angel to get back up. Spent time at the bottom at Phantom Ranch.

 

DAMN!!!! I'm never hiking that trail again LOL. I want to hike that trail with the hidden waterfall but you can only reserve it.

 

That name tho @BalutTaco lol!

 

thanks for the info.
yeah i'm used to grippy rocks, most of my wheeling has been in Hawaii in the lava flows, where you never want to spin a tire. now in Oregon where its been mud or sand

 

Rahjahdat! Where in OR you stay? I'm a HI transplant too and lived in OR for 18 years already lol!

 

I'm down in Eugene been here for 13 years now, before here I lived in the Philippines for 3 years and before that the Big Island for 23 years.
