As Kurt linked above, we drove the whole thing in one shot. It was a blast. Here's a video I put together. Not the most exciting video, but I made it to give people an idea of what they'll see on the route.

I want to do this so bad!!!

 

[sawtooth4x4]

looks great. i think I'm going to do it in sections. Maybe start at the arizona boarder and work my way north. Looks like a lot of cool stuff out there.

 

[Jeromy]

looks like a blast!

 

[Troop92]

Seriously want to do this.

 

[jentzschman]

It was one of the best trips I have ever been on. I want to do it again.

 

[amp713]

Im going to be doing it in a few sections and then do it all at once later i think.... Ill post on here as i plan it!!

 

[sixstringsteve]

it's the best cure for "utah is boring, there's nothing to do here". After going on this trip, you'll have hundreds of places you'll want to visit again in the future. The biggest frustration will be having to rush through it all without being able to really stop and smell the roses much. That's what will make you want to go back and do sections of it again later.

It took you 5 days at a decent pace then??

 

[sixstringsteve]

yes, 5 full days of driving and no hikes.

 

[amp713]

Ohhhh i thought you were taking your time! Maybe ill do half and half! I work a 8 on 6 off schedule so i could do it but dont know many people who could go with me ha

 

[Troop92]

I'd consider it, esp half and half.

 

[Jeromy]

Id consider it as well. i could go either way, all at once or half and half.

 

[amp713]

Ill be doing it this year for certain and when i start making a plan ill be posting it on here so you will all know!
