hey my name is josh i am new to the utah area, just moved from upstate ny where i was in the military.
i just wanted to get to know some new people and find out where some of the easier trails are in the area i live in west valley
if you know of anything around here that would be fun on a saturday or sunday afternoon to go and explore or if you would be willing meet up and show me around a bit i would appreciate it alot and looking forward to it. i love to play off road and hang hang out but like i said im new to the area. would love to see what utah has to offer i have a 89 jeep wrangler that i just bought and lookin forward to getting some use out of it on the trails.

I'd recommend Israel canyon for a good beginner trail, I wouldn't do it in the winter or when there's lots of rain but it's scenic and something you can do in a couple hours.

(Take Redwood road south and just past the Saratoga Springs golf course turn at the Stillwater development and follow the brown signs up.)

welcome. X2 on israel canyon.

Another good tip is to click the "new posts" link at the top of the page. That way you'll be able to see what's going on from time to time. It also helps you get addicted to RME. Ask me how I know... :D

West desert areas of Tooele county are fun to explore- mostly just dirt roads so not a lot of wheeling.

Good one to do with someone, esp. first times since pretty remote.

Check out the upcoming trails section. I've met a lot of very cool RME folks there. You could also join a 4x4 club but i can't tell you which one to join. I've been in utah 6 yrs and still not in one. The first time i moved to utah i was in the big horn club and they are really good peeps. Don't know if BigSarge is still the leader there.
