Moab, Utah

6/27/2020

If you are lucky enough to spend a little time wheeling in Moab, you are lucky enough. There’s no place else quite like it. Take any trail set against Moab’s breathtakingly surreal backdrop of ancient landforms and you will be transported into a land shaped and reshaped by tremendous and unimaginable forces of upheaval, erosion, wind, ice and water that have been occurring for some 300 million years, back to a time before dinosaurs roamed, when Moab was situated on the coast of an inland sea on the supercontinent of Pangaea. The epic story is in the rocks. It’s a lot to take in, but the experience of wheeling in Moab will grab you and etch itself indelibly into your soul! And so we are drawn back to experience and to be enchanted by Moab again and again and to wheel with old friends and new.

Here are links to a couple short vids featuring some new friends we met on our recent wheeling adventure in Moab. Enjoy! :)

Day One: The Pickle Trail OHV Trail with ModernJeeper in Moab, Utah.

An adventure in Moab is always a good time. Two days of wheeling with ModernJeeper Adventures hosted by Outlaw Jeep Adventures in Moab makes for one epic Jeep adventure! ModernJeeper Adventures along with Outlaw Jeep Adventures took care of everything from food to logistics and made sure we were all hooked up with new Rugged Radios and guides. We were split into two groups for both days. On the morning of day one, our group set out to tackle a trail known as The Pickle, a short drive just northwest of Moab near Sevenmile Rim. The trail explores the area near Hidden Canyon, with parts of the trail traversing through sandy washes in the canyon and others over a slickrock section of Entrada Sandstone called the Moab Tongue, aka Mashed Potatoes. Obstacles included the fifteen foot double-ledged dry waterfall known as Dill Pickle, a dicey squeeze into the Pickle Slicer, a double climb called the Jalapeno Pickle, copious mashed potato-like sandstone mounds in the Mashed Potato area and finally a dip into the Gravy Boat. We really enjoyed this trail. Different from some of Moab's more popular trails, but a great one nonetheless. The trail offers some challenging obstacles and beautiful scenery, with views into Hidden Canyon, Book Cliffs to the north and the La Sals to the southeast in the distance. We will definitely come back to wheel there again!
