Southern Utah camping/trail trip

[SmokinCamel]

I heard there is a trail down there that takes like a few days. Anyone heard of this?? If it is true I thought it would be fun to travel this trail and camp out down there. Anyone in??

yeah....a trail that takes 2 days......in southern utah....ummm which one...?!? you can make PSM/GS/GBR in moab take 2 days if you want to......

 

[SmokinCamel]

I don;t know if it really exists. It was in 4 wheel and sport utility a while back.

check out 4x4now.com, they have some articles on some of the more abscure trails like those found in san-rafael that are either close to being closed or closed already.

there are a couple more websites but you just have to do a web search.

I'd love to do the Hole in the Rock trail someday. http://www.4x4now.com/mthitr.htm

I wanted to to all trails even the little 3's. Someday I will know every trail.

I'm sure you thinking about the Hole in the Rock trail... I have never done it but completely want too... not hard at all from what I've heard... at the end you can hike down to Lake Powell over the hole in the rock trail...

Back when I was in scouts we hiked the trail all the way to Lake Powell in 2 days. That was the first time I'd ever seen 4x4's doing some real wheeling.

That is a pretty cool trail, we did it last year. Not real difficult, but remote as all get out.

That article was Dark Canyon.

Looks like a very senic area, with a smattering of real wheelin. I believe the cool part about the Trail is that it's a Corridor about 200 ft. wide, right thru the middle of a Wilderness Area. I want to drive it too, after reading the Artcicle!

'Impossible Hill' was one of the obstacles.... the 2 built CJ8's in the write-up Walked up it, so if you're locked, it's not bad at all.

yup not too hard...I did snap a driveline and shear the two tranny mounts trying to show up the heeps ... but it was from standing on the gas trying to park on a near vertical wall. Ended up driving the rest of the trail with front wheel drive.... elephant hill required some momentum read (smokin tires) and a strap, after I smoked the clutches in the front LS
