Central Utah February RME Trail Run - Little Sahara Dunes

[WILDHAIR225]

Last time I was at the dunes you were flying 50 + feet. I will of course expect that again.

Oh yeah, good times. I don't think the Suburban would like that but anything is possibly.

 

[JPaul]

I'll be coming along as well most likely.

Would be great to see the H3 out there again!

 

[RogueJeepr]

I may try to make it this year, unless we get a ton of snow.
Camping at sand mountain does sound like fun.

• Federal and State regulations require the use of safety flags within recreation area! Every vehicle MUST have a ORANGE flag!

I've never been to the dunes so I looked up the specific requirements if anyone else was interested.

(d) when operated on sand dunes designated by the board, a safety flag that is:
(i) red or orange in color;
(ii) a minimum of six by 12 inches; and
(iii) attached to:
(A) the off-highway vehicle so that the safety flag is at least eight feet above the surface of level ground; or
(B) the protective headgear of a person operating a motorcycle so that the safety flag is at least 18 inches above the top of the person’s head.

Count me in, I've got plenty of recovery gear and a perfectly capable recovery rig to boot.

Awesome, see you there! What are you driving?

 

[BlueWolfFab]

Sand is plenty firm in February

 

[pkrfctr]

I should be able to make this!

Can't wait to hear that Hemi opened up in the dunes!

 

[stockblock]

Awesome, see you there! What are you driving?

79 K5 on tones running newly built Vortec 350 sbc, 38.5" bogger's, lockers and geared to the hill.

Took the scouts there a few months ago- it screams up sand mountain. The kids thought it was hilarious to pass the 4wheelers.

 

[Jared]

I'm going to try and swing by. No idea what I'll drive... JK, F150, XJ, quad. I might even have my 2018 F150 by then. Maybe I'll tow a Jeep and ATV and bring a grill for some burgers. It would be cool to coordinate a good meal.

[BlueWolfFab]

I'll be in the XJ, I expect to be severely underpowered and likely not able to climb a lot of the hills. I'd bring the kawi but not sure I want to leave it anywhere while I'm out in the Jeep.

The sand may be quite drier than a normal February ha

 

[chicken77]

I'm in again! I love the dunes in the winter

 

[Homefryy]

I am definitely interested. I need to get some recovery points figured out on the XJ on a very limited budget but if I can get that sorted I'm in. I don't want to be that guy that gets stuck and isn't set up properly to have somebody pull me out.

 

[pkrfctr]

Desert roads and trail society and UPLA had a bunch of extra spill kits from the winter4x4jamboree.com. I'll bring a big sack of them to the sand dunes run to pass out! If you're going ro be there grab one or two to throw in your rigs.

 

[Shawn]

For those of you that might be interested. My son and I will be heading out on Friday afternoon. We are planning to go on a dirt bike ride either in the sand or dirt. Wheel on Saturday and then ride again Sunday morning before we head home.

 

[Shawn]

Oh, and when I say I will be wheeling, it will be in my stock-ish FJ40
