Cool Trail/trip.
We did it the first of April two years ago and it was a great trip! Nice time of year, everyone was at the safari so the trail wasn't busy and the weather was perfect!

It would be fun to make a RME HITR run, we've done it before!
Yeah, you've got some catching up to do, Stephen! Glad you're healthy now!
I could really use some help planning the Monthly RME Trail Runs, with my work schedule change and working out of town during the week, I just don't have the same amount of free time I used to have come the weekend. I can't plan/organize/lead every trip, each month and it's not easy asking others to do that either.
That's a neat trip, I'd love to do it again as well!

It seems like Spring and Fall are the best time to plan a 21 Road/Billings/Cutoff trip, but Spring is pretty busy. What would you guys like to see for a RME 21 Road trip, Fall-ish? Memorial Day??

Awesome, the Golden Spike is fun.... long, but its iconic as far as Moab trails go! I'd be down to make that trip as well.
Hells Gate isn't bad, but you're right.... a good spotter makes a big difference. I did it in the Gladiator in November, solo!
We should plan a hardcore RME trip to Montrose, I've only seen a few of the trails but it's a killer area with mean trails!

I'd have to run it in the fall if I were to plan a trip to HITR this year. We have a major trip already planned for June this year.

I think the Fall is the best time for HITR because of the weather, Springtime can be windy and stormy. My best HITR trips have been in the Fall.

My Dad supports the AV equipment at the Bluff fort. The service missionaries do a HITR trip every spring to solidify the experience while they work at the fort. My dad invited me to go with them, so I'm tackling this in March.
I like the idea of doing it again though. They do it over 2 days and I'd like to take more time than that to explore the area.

My trail goals for 2020 haven't really been hashed out, but there some that I'd love to see.
- Spend more time exploring/camping in the Henry Mountains.
- Explore Poison Springs Canyon and find the Butch Cassidy signature.
- Plan a 3-4 day trip into Canyonlands and the Maze.
- Make another 3-4 day trip from Big Water, UT out to Alstrom Point and up to Escalante.
- Run Holy Cross trail in CO.
- Get down to St George, run some trails in Sand Hollow. Run the Barracks Trail.
- Get down to Baja over Thanksgiving with a few RME friends.

Holy Cross has been a bucket list trail for me for a long time

I want in on these, but I'm not sure I can make them all this year.

Same here! I just never get around to making it happen... need to plan it out and go for it.
I hear ya, we'll have to get together and see what we can do far as scheduling. Holy Cross will be better in the mid-late Summer, due to the elevation & snow levels.

Did that one before the area became a national monument. Outstanding, beautiful, remote country. Make sure your rig is in good shape!

keep me in the loop on this one. I have a busy summer putting in a yard, a kid coming home from a two year hiatus and I’ll be getting a new teen driver this fall. I want to hit this trail but we’ll have to see
I was able to meet my goal of beating @glockman in a race yesterday. I also beat @Gravy and @Cascadia. I am currently beating all 3 of them in points for the season.
I’m sure they will have all kinds of ridiculous excuses to try to explain away why I am beating them.. but the fact remains that I am winning. ???

I’m hoping to get down to sand hollow. Have a baby coming in June, and my Jeep hasn’t moved since November. Hopefully have it running and moving by end of March. Then might make a trip south April May timeframe.
