Fantastic info. Thank you!

It looks like there are two tunnels to access I-70. Is that correct? Which would be best for a fullsize 2nd Gen Sequoia? I appreciate all the info from you guys. My group isn't very set up and we have some novice drivers so I'm trying to over plan.

Awesome info! How difficult would the climb out of Eagle Canyon the opposite way be? Sounds like significantly more challenging. Open diff Ranger and 4runner on 31s will be with our group.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yes, we're planning on Black Dragon and then over to Swasey's cabin on day 1. Day 2 we were going to run through Goblin Valley down to Cathedral Valley and to do that we need to cross muddy creek. How was Swasey's cabin to eagle canyon this year? Easy...

Planning on this weekend. I'll check out the thread. EDIT: Waiting for my account to be approved on expeditionutah.com so I can checkout the thread.

Looking at taking some friends on this route again. By any chance did any of you cross muddy creek south east of Goblin Valley this past weekend? It's the only place I'm a little worried about my buddy's 98' Ranger making it on.

Thanks! Looking at getting out there this summer and trying to do some research ahead of time.

What were the dates on this trip, looks like July 16-18th? Any snow left? How were the bugs? If you had to do it again would you go earlier or later in the year? How was the trail? Anything you'd do differently?

We did Black Dragon, no problem although it was a snowy, then slushy, then muddy mess getting there from the West. If I had to do it over gain I'd avoid that long drive in and just go in from the East, up to the end of the canyon and turn around and come back out. Didn't do Eagle Canyon. Too...

You guys aren't inspiring confidence. :rofl:

Hmmm.... my 2nd Gen Sequoia is a fat pig but it's got a lot shorter wheelbase than an Excursion and should be a hair narrower. Less ground clearance too though.

Thank you very much! Good to know there's a UTOD camera there. Fantastic info. I really appreciate it. You guys are making me feel a lot better about things.

Is this the "top" you're talking about or the highest point of the trail at Swacey's cabin? The exit out at the end looks steep on the topo. Slick as in not advisable for the rigs we'll have? I really appreciate your input. Is this exit the recommended route or should I go left and try to get...

This is the route I'm looking to travel from East to West. Hopefully I haven't missed anything. We were going to pop up and do head of sinbad, then hit the Lone warrior on the way down to Swacey's cabin. I guess that may cut out that middle section through what looks to be a canyon. I've been...
