This will be the 3rd Annual Moab 2020 Jeep-CJ Trail Ride!

Place: One of the world's best places to wheel, Moab UT.

Date: April 20-24 (April 25th is an optional day, 6 rigs will be staying, open to all)

Accommodations: Many hotels, condos, camping in the town of Moab. However, book sooner then later they go fast.

Minimum recommendation: 33”, front and rear lockers, or rear locker with winch. There is exceptions to the rule.

Itinerary: to be added



Notes:
Sand Flats Recreation Area: there will be a $5 fee to enter the park or one time $10 fee per vehicle that will cover us for the week.
Most of the trails will have an elevation of 5000 ft, except Top of the World at 7000 ft
Hell's Revenge and other trails have go arounds to avoid obstacles if need be.
Nothing is carved in stone we can make adjustments to the trails as we go.


What to Bring
Your street-legal 4x4 vehicle, in good working order, with no major leaks or mechanical problems, and tires with respectable tread life remaining. We will be running on paved roads and as such every vehicle must be registered, inspected, and insured per your state's requirements.

-Lunch - We'll be eating on the trail as we go - not a specific lunch stop location

-Good attitude! We're here to enjoy our hobby.

Other Important Info
We observe Tread Lightly! guidelines, no exceptions. This means; respect for the environment and setting an example of responsible enjoyment of the outdoors. Pack out all trash you bring in. Tires WILL be aired down to limit wheel spin. Mud & water will be navigated no faster than needed. Our group will travel in a way that will minimize damage to the road and erosion. If you're not sure what is appropriate, just ask a leader or gunner for advice on airing down and Tread Lightly in general.

There will be a 10 rig limit.
