Central Utah February RME Trip; Little Sahara

[Greg]

Anyone interested in a Little Sahara sand dunes run in February? I'm thinking Feb 20th, spend a day playing in the sand.


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 20th. 9 AM meet up at the Visitors Center / Office.
• There is an $18 entrance fee!!
• 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.

Here's a trip from 3 yrs ago- https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/little-sahara-feb-2018-snow-sand.114361/#post-1095801

Thanks for the reminder on the entrance fee Shawn, forgot to mention it. I edited the post and added the fee info.

Two years ago when RME did the run at LS I almost just came out in my RZR. If the Minivan can't make it..... 🤪

 

[Herzog]

I'd totally be in but I have a kiddo bday that weekend.

4 years ago @deviant brought his rzr with our group. Granted he was likely a little bored but still had fun.

I had a blast with you guys in the RZR that year.

Bring the van!

Does anyone know the actual regulations on the safety flag? How tall, location on vehicle? I haven't been able to find them and I need to figure out a mount.

 

[Unimog]

Flag must be 8 feet off the ground

It’s undergoing some upgrades currently. But I do plan on taking it on some rme runs this year. With only 33’s and not great departure angles it will be limited to trips like the swell and mild trails.

I have never seen any kind of flag rule enforced other than having one.
