I'm curious in hearing where everyone plans on going wheeling in the next two years.

Here's my list:
- some of the mild trails in Delta
- Vernal trails
- Price Trails (the mellow ones)
- Pony Express Trail all the way to Wendover in the winter
- West side of Utah: Wendover to St. George
- Kokopelli Trail
- Tusher Tunnel
- moab rim
- all the easy trails in the Wells Moab book.

I also want to do the easy trails in Moab. I have done most of the hard ones, so it's time to see the chill ones. Pony express would be a fun one as well.

I have never head of some of the others you mentioned.

I would also like to check out the trails on St. George.

Do you have any approximate timeframe you are thinking for this?

Nope. I'd love to have you and frieed along, so let me know what month/time works well for you. I haven't even begun to map out the route. I plan on learning a lot from this trip next weekend, then I'll have a better idea of how to plan that one.

I would say late spring, fall or perhaps winter if the snow isn't piled up would be best. My late spring is already filling up fast. Early spring can be sketchy. I know firsthand that some of the more obscure routes through there can be nightmares of mud in the early spring. And it's just pain hot in the summer. Although, summer is when I usually have the most free time, too.

We ought to get it done.

Yah, I'm all over this.
It'd have to be spring for me... I'm burning all vacation time this year what with the Yellowstone Trip last July, then next week I'm going to the Bighorn Mts for a week ( just looked, this past Sat. was 2 below and 2 in of snow, brrrrrr), and then we're driving to Louisiana and Texas for Christmas and New Years...

...I need to hook up with this group, it sounds fun.

They are a great group of guys and I enjoy getting out with them each year for the Outlaws Run and a few other smaller ones each year too. They are all predominately members of the Rising Sun 4x4 Club in Denver and we've become good pals after a dozen or so trips all over the west the last 5 years.

..I'm also thinking about joining Wasatch Cruisers this year, they seem to have some cool runs, and it'd be nice not to plan every trip I take next year.

For sure, in fact both you and Trevor should. Look at it this way, it costs $25/year but gets you a discount at Toyota, tech nights, social nights, and an invitation to wheel on some really neat trips they plan each year including Cruise Moab, Swell, Skyline, Rubicon, etc.

That is a slick list. Count me in on some/most of them if you go! (hope that is not too forward or what have you)

Keep your eye on ExpeditionUtah as many of these trips or at least those planning them are members there and invitations often come from within ;)

Seeing ModStock's list reminded me of the 'regulars' I do each year, the 'Freeze Your Tail Off' around the lake, the Relic Run which has a 5 year anniversary this coming year :cool: And a few other 'novelty' runs along those lines.

it's realistic. The goal is to get out your calendar, plan a time for each trail, and make it actually happen, rather than dream about it. :)

The next thread following this should be an "upcoming wheeling trip" thread, where you plan these out and make sure they actually happen. Wanting to wheel a trail and actually wheeling it are two very different things. :)

My driveway is a formidable obstacle of late. Then I can conquer getting on the trailer? One thing at a time?
this is where I am at, any trail would be nice, but just getting onto the trailer seemed tough, guess I need to tune the propane system
