What a great trip! Before I go on, I have to say, if you ever get the chance to do this trail, don't pass it up.
The Friday after Thanksgiving we met at 7 am in Spanish Fork. From there we traveled down with a final gas stop at Hanksville. Then after about another 100 miles more to the trail head, Keith and Marilee were waiting for us.
Before we got to the parking area the little train (a 2 wheel drive pickup pulling a car hauler and another trailer) got buried. It turned out that the sugar sand that had drifted over a section of road probably 150 feet long. Our antics rivaled any Laurel and Hardy flick as we repeatedly got rig after rig stuck. Of course it was all great fun.
Right from the start of the trail the ever changing scenery and ruggedness of the area amazed us non-stop all three days.
No breakdowns and only one close call.
At one of the play grounds near the end of the trip, the Yellow Bronc went up a fun little rock. Hey, if it will go up it, it will come down it right?
Peggy and I just took a handful of pictures but got a ton of video. The video below only has a small percentage of what we actually took.
I can’t wait to see what Keith and Laura have to contribute; they always come up with amazing pictures.
Enjoy the pictures and be sure to watch the video.

Here we are, stuck before we unloaded our trail rigs:
The start of an amazing trail:
I think that’s Grey Mesa off in the distance, that too is part of the trail.
A hail storm caught us coming down the little cliff hanger, this is just below it.
Tony caught taking in the sunrise as it lit up the Henries way to the north
Real typical sections of the trail:
Here we had just broke camp and started back the last day
Navajo Mountain off in the distance
Half Track Junction
Here’s the video:

Soon there should be more pictures and videos from some of the others in the thread on SextonOffroad.com
