San Rafael Swell - Canyonlands - Elephant Hill

I want to go.

 

Trip looks fun and all, but what really blew me away was your license plate cover. LOL

 

Looks like a great trip! you guys seriously have one of the best backyards to play in out there...can't wait for my trips coming up in the next couple months

Sick pictures. So many comments but I'll leave them alone. The pic of your truck in the squeeze is pure sexiness.

I also did this trip with a friend back in 91-ish? In his stock Isuzu Amigo.

lol

 

Awesome as always Adam.

 

Envious....



Looks awesome Adam!

 

Great report. It was good to see your rig out getting dirty again. I still have a 1/4" layer of dust covering the inside of my car.

 

Great report and pictures!

I very much enjoyed running Elephant Hill last year, amazing trail.

Only problem is, when I see these reports, I realize I need to stop and take more pictures. And a better camera wouldn't hurt either.

 

So awesome to see families out there exploring. Great pics, looks likea great trip! Thanks for sharing.

 

Awesome pictures Adam. Looks like it was a good adventure!

 

Great pictures!
Cool stories.

Well done again!

 

Awesome pics and reporting!

 

Great post! Good looking trucks and amazing photo's. I'm going to plan a trip out there. How many trucks were in that convoy?

 

I think we had 10 trucks on the portion through the swell.

 

Awesome pictures Adam. The wife and I are definitely stopping by canyonlands during the Moab trip.

Can you recommend any parks over another? I think for sure we are going to do Canyonlands, Zion, and Arches since it's right near BFE. Would you rcommend Bryce or Capitol Reef over the other parks? TIA

 

Awesome trip and pics as usual!

 

Zion's is not near BFE. Zion's NP is great but it's close to St George. If you're driving up through Vegas then it's worth stopping and hitting Zion's on your way.

Canyonlands and Arches are near BFE and Moab and are both totally worth seeing.

Bryce Canyon is super cool and if you can fit it into your schedule it's worth it. Lots of great hikes in the park. Capitol Reef is cool but I think of the ones you've listed its the least impressive.

 

Thanks for the info Adam. I know I won't be able to go to all of them, so I'm trying to see which ones would be best. And yeah, I'm planning on going through Vegas on the way home, so that's when we'll get to see Zion.

 

Very cool to see The Swell on Tacomaworld. Literally my backyard. I love it! Thanks for sharing.

 

Great TR Box Rocket! Was just out there in March, such a beautiful area and your photos captured it all! I was contemplating doing the Temple Mountain Rd but ran out of time. Ended up doing Copper Globe Mine Rd, which was a lot of fun and somewhat technically hard for a newbie like me- got to put my new Maxtrax devices to use to get over an obstacle and they worked great! Thanks for putting together the group buy. Next time I will do Canyonlands and Moab. I thought Zion and Bryce were cool places to visit once in your life, both very crowded even this early in the season, and having a dog greatly restricts what you can do in the NPs. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to go back.
