Central Utah February RME Trail Run - Little Sahara Dunes

[Greg]

For the February RME Trail Run we're going to play in the sand box at the Little Sahara Dunes. Winter trips to Little Sahara in a 4x4 are a blast, the sand is very firm and 4x4's can traverse the dunes pretty well. It's fun to get to know how your rig performs in the sand, blasting around!

• What kind of trip; Driving in sand, over dunes, etc.
• Where; Little Sahara Recreation Area
• When; Saturday, Feb 24th. 9 AM meet up at the Visitors Center / Office.
• Vehicle Needs; Stock 4x4's would be OK, but you'll be able to travel further with bigger & wider tires. Lockers will help.
• Airing down tires makes a big difference in the sand, come prepared to air up if you air down!
• Group Size; 20+, there is plenty of room for everyone.
• Federal and State regulations require the use of safety flags within recreation area! Every vehicle MUST have a ORANGE flag!

it would be wise to bring the recovery gear you may need! I would like to practice some real world sand recovery situations, I have some TRED recovery boards, a kinetic MasterPull recovery rope, a PullPal winch anchor and my Warn Zeon winch.

It was great last year : ) I'm in.

 

[BlueWolfFab]

I think I'm going to plan on spending Friday night (2/23) there camping.

Also* just remembered last year there was the "group use fee" of iirc $50 that we didn't find out about until it was too late. If there's 10 people going, that's $5 per person versus $18 I think is the current daily fee.

And here's this just because.

 

[Greg]

Thanks, Chance! It would be great to have more than 10!!

I'm up to try...
Not sure how the big red pig will do though.
Maybe I just stay at camp and cook.

Get those 2 turbos spooled up and I'm sure you'll be fine!

I don't think there's a minimum, but if I remember right the max was like 40 people? 50? I'll find out the details again. Either way, could be the cheapest option for everyone.

 

[I Lean]

Sounds good, I think I'll be there!

 

[ChestonScout]

In!

Your truck will do just fine!

I’ve done many winter drives through the dunes over the years. Last year my bone stock Tacoma walked around in circles, no problem. It will be better this year now that I know how to completely disable traction control.

I am going to try and make this work. I've missed too many trips lately.

This could be fun in the Raptor . Or the rzr

 

[Shawn]

This could be fun, my family spends a lot of time riding the dunes and I would love to take the Cruiser out for a sand spin. I'll keep this on my radar

Deviant brought his RZR in the group last year with us, even was jumping it about 30'

Bring the Raptor! It’s amazing how much fun the trucks are out there

 

[RockChucker]

I think I should be able to make it. Haven't been to the dunes for years...sounds fun!

 

[WILDHAIR225]

If @ChestonScout is in i'm in!

 

[Greg]

Sounds like this will be quite a trip! I'm already looking forward to it.

 

[capt scotty]

Sounds like a good time. I may be able to make this.

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