Some of our best trip memories are those looking back at some type of hardship we all endured together. A couple of those have been some epic camp fails around Moab. We were dispersed camping tho… with hookups, yall will be fine. A good nights sleep with some AC will be a major advantage.

Grab a milkshake and burger at Milt’s while yall are there.

Well we're in Arches. No water, elec or sewer at the site. There is a vault toilet nearby and a sink with bathrooms about a 1/2 mile away. We have our own water with the trailer and all elec is solar. We're boondocking, sort of.

Saw some canyonlands.

Where is the 2nd photo? Wow! Great photos.

For some reason I thought yall had hookups there.

It will work out, it’s all part of the adventure.

I don’t know what yalls appetite for off road is but maybe find some trails to run in the hottest part of the day. Last year we went into Canyonlands and did Shafer to Potash which comes back out in the canyon by Moab.

Moab is one of those places that’s really beautiful but once the temps get near or over the 100 mark it can be tough.

Yesterday we arrived mid day to 100F temps and VERY high winds. Those weren't the issues. It was the dust. My wife who doesn't mind hunting Elk in Montana's Bitterroot mountains in November was uttering subtle hints like "Get me the <> outta here". However the winds died down after dusk and temps this morning was 73F!!! So after a good night's sleep things are a lot better.

Re. Offroading. My LC suspension is stock with firestone airbags and michelin defender tires. I have little to no "offroading" experience, at least not to the level of you guys.

We will stick to either paved or dirt roads and try and hike from the trailheads at the parking areas as far as we can.

Canyonlands is on our list, and again we will calibrate where we go based on the above.

With that said, we're headed to moab this morning to visit with Moab Adventure Center. Perhaps we can get a pro to take us out in a vehicle built for this area. We will also try and book a guided Colorado rafting trip; maybe a 4 hour. My wife and I have fond memories of canoeing the Shenendoah River rapids when we were younger.

Head out towards Chicken Corners until you feel like you're at your capacity for "fun", and then turn around and head back out. Most of it is just a dirt road with some rocks in it. You can get pretty deep into the canyons of Canyonlands without much risk or effort. You might be surprised/make it all the way to the corners but if not the views from 5-10 miles in are nearly as good as what you'll find at the end.

All those trails out there are just so intoxicating. We usually tell ourselves “if it gets too bad we’ll just turn around” but then we get out there and it turns into “ok, that obstacle wasn’t too bad, I wonder what’s around that next turn.” Next thing you know it’s 4 hours later and you’re back at camp eating and talking about how flipping cool that drive was while looking at your dirt covered Cruiser thinking how it was worth every penny.

Bighorn Canyon in south central Montana. Just north of Lovell, WY.

Agreed. It’s one of my favorite places to bring people in Moab and one of the best places to experience Canyonlands, imo. The lookouts from Island in the Sky are incredible, but it’s hard to appreciate the scale of the canyons without being down in them. Plus, it’s fun as hell to drive the rig down in there so everyone wins.
