It's time again for the annual Southwest Adventure! As usual this will take place over several days leading up to Cruise Moab and finish with our arrival in Moab on Wednesday in time for Cruise Moab. So if you are planing on going to Cruise Moab and have a few extra days before the event officially starts come spend it with us! As usual, this trip is supported by 4xOverland USA and Slinky Suspensions.

Dates for the trip are April 10-15. We will begin by meeting near St George, Utah for dinner as a group on Friday, April 10 at 6:00pm. Location details TBD. Participants will be on their own to arrange lodging in the St George/Hurricane, Utah area for Friday evening. We will meet for departure at 9:00am Saturday April 11. Meeting location TBD.
Rough itinerary will be to begin by heading south to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and working our way east and north through some spectacular areas of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. We will camp on the trail Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights. Participants are responsible for their own camping equipment as well as food. We have had some great meals on past trips and often participants bring food to share with each other around the campfire. There is no expectation that anyone provides food for anyone other than who is in their vehicle, but if you have something you'd like to share you'll have others willing to do the same.
Typical trail conditions for these trips is generally mild to moderate wheeling. The most difficult part of the trip will be coming out through Elephant Hill in Canyonlands. Cruise Moab rates the Elephant Hill trail 5/10.
Vehicle should be in good mechanical condition and capable of several days of remote travel over approximately 600 miles offroad without issue. No major leaks. Overly worn tires could be cause for dismissal from the trip, at the discretion of trip leaders. So please have good tires and a full size spare, and/or tire plug/repair kit. Spare parts are generally not needed, but it's always a good idea to come prepared for the worst. Every vehicle should have a well stocked first aid kit. Below is a basic checklist for vehicle and equipment.
