I doubt that. It's all in the line you take, or don't take that makes the rating. I would stack Metal Masher, Pritchett Canyon, and Behind the Rocks against anything anywhere. The beauty of Moab is its diversity in difficulty though.

[Grandman]

beauty is in the eye of the beholeder . I dont like the desert , every thing looks the same . See the 1st mile you seen it all . Thats a matter of preference though .

Iv been to Moab , Slick rock ! about as slick as rough concrete . You can pull some wild angles with the traction there is there .

Take a boulder and put some mud on it and the challenge goes way up . Tellico trails in NC and Tenn for me thanks .

Its my oppionion rookies find Moab a challenge , If you have little off road experience you will enjoy it there .

timgco,

You know I’m in on the trip. So keep me on the list.

As for the people who don’t like Moab, think it’s easy, ugly or whatever……

They didn’t have to post anything on this tread. Maybe they are just jealous that our $30,000.00 trucks perform much better than they expected.

[Grandman]

Hey paragon , Meet some one , then decide what type of person they are . Your immaturity is amazing . By the way you from around Paragon PA ? Paragon park is far more of a challenge IMHO

I too own the H 3 , its in pics if you want some proof .

Alec , i only made one trip out there so i did not run all the trails , I was there on an Easter safari week end with a huge group and ran 3 of the trials , The trails i was on were rated 3 and 4 according to the organizers of that event . I ran them in a 94 Grand with 2" lift and one locker . Certainly not a hard core wheeler to run there 4 rated trails with .


Potato salad hill looked like a real challenge in photos iv seen but i did not get over to it . Sorry it has been some years and i dont recall the names of all the trails , one started at the dump bump near town . One i think was called prechards or somthing of that nature . The last started in a park and wound down the the desert floor , when you looked back up you couldnt see the trail you came down at all . If you know the area well you most likely know the trails im speaking of .

HaHa! Ummm. We've heard that before. The classic "I've wheeled Moab but can't remember the trails" bull. Pritchett Arch? That like riding on country road. After the group finished with Moab last year we ran that trail like a Sunday drive. It can't be more than a 2 rating.

You are an idiot, Grandma. Anyone going to Moab, running the trails we've run, must be fully prepared for the possibility of body damage and pounding the crap out of the bottom of your rig. You give every newb the impression that they will cake walk everything. Sure, they will if they ride the easy trails like you did. I think you probably did Kane Creek on that third trip you mentioned. Years ago it was a 3 rated trail but wash out and heavy use has significantly increased it's difficulty over the last few years.

Since you are the self-professed "new guy", why don't you shut your hole and butt out if you don't want to be a part of it. Don't start with that "you guys are so close minded just because I offered my option" crap. Don't you know that everyone sees your intent is to look cool and try to impress? Sorry. It's not working, bud.

You seem to place alot of value on your opinion. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif I will agree that rookies enjoy themselves there because of the diverse terrain, however, I have quite a bit of experience and I enjoy myself there too...because of the diverse terrain. I can get as crazy as I feel comfortable with and I can go with people who don't want "extreme" on some of the same trails. Telico, Paragon, Kinslow, Windrock, all have their mild to wilds just like Moab.

I guess if you get your chubs in mud and meadows, that's your bag and you're welcome to it. Personally, I don't see much challenge in seeing how far in a stinky mudhole I can sink. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[NEOCON1]

man you east-coasters have a drive http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif but you will have a convoy by the time you hit Moab http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[f5fstop]

Done the drive from TN and MI to Moab quite a few times and yes, it is quite a trip; but worth it.
Can't make this one.

Now, I have spent four years photographing the Moab area, and find something new every time. But it is not for everyone. Many hate the desert, and for me that is great, since I plan on moving to Moab in four years. Less people, the better. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif I find that area breathtaking, and find MI the most un-interesting state I have ever lived in (and that includes NY, CO, TN). Sorry Michiganders, but that is my opinion of this state.

But the trails in Moab are as tough as anything Windrock (TN) or Tellico (NC) has to offer. Windrock and Tellico are rough , especially in the spring when it is pure mud rocks. (I will say, it is a lot easier cleaning sand off the Jeep after I returned from Moab, then cleaning packed on mud after leaving Windrock one spring weekend.)
Even though Windrock and Tellico are challenging so are Hell's Revenge, and potato salad, and I did these in my Jeep, and yes, I carried extra half-shafts with me, and made sure there was a few winches in the group (wenches too if available http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif)

Which reminds me...TIMCO, you still want what I offered a week ago? If so, send me your address via PM and I'll mail it.

If the park you are mentioning is Canyonlands, and it was a switchback road that you enter just as you enter the park, it was probably Schafer trail, that linked up to White Rim and Potash roads at the floor of the canyon above the Colorado River.
If it was straight and near Schafer trail, and had a bolder making an arch across the road, halfway down, it was Long Canyon Road.
Great roads for some photographs, but not what I would consider tough (hell, Michigan's paved roads are worse). I have been up both in high-clearance two-wheel drive pickup trucks, and Long Canyon can be traversed with a Lexus all-wheel drive SUV, just some decent ground clearance.
The other from town sounds like Kane Creek, and as someone already pointed out, that has become harder each year. Having only been there in the summer, never saw any water that could cause any problems. You turn by the McDonalds to get to Kane Creek (I believe).
I hate to say it, those are not the roads these guys are talking about. Someone said they puckered when traversing some of these trails. I got news for him, I could not pucker because something was trying to exit at the same time.
I never felt that way at Windrock or Tellico. Yes those are some nasty roads that can tear a vehicle apart, but these so-called off-roads around Moab can kill you, and destroy a vehicle.

I give anyone credit for traveling these trails, but to do it in a 30K plus H3 or better yet a 50K plus H2 shows some balls. To do it in a vehicle you have to drive home deserves even more credit.

[KenP]

Kane Creek was a blast. We had a Jeep tag along for most of it and had to pull him from the creek once. He also took a very longtime getting up what we called "F*** you Hill".

Check out the pics here. (http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/5106011751/m/6661043241/p/1) The very first pic is of the easy section where there had been a rock slide.

Could be.

[PackerFever]

Well it could be easy for us. We only live four hours away in Summit County Colorado. I have a lot of Experience all over Canyonlands (MAZE, Island in the Sky, Needles etc along with several other areaea and the rest of Southern Utah. Lots of kick ass palces official nad not so well known.

Do you have a date in April picked out yet? I think the key for the trails are some that are fun and that have options for various levels of...well tolerences of abuse. Anything within an hour drive each way or so would be cool...from town that is not total trip time.

Good time of year to have fun and get good rates there too.

2006 H3 Yellow, Lux Leather, Sunroof, 5 Speed Chrome and Black accessories. More by Accs April. 7500 miles since Late October..montains and Beach so far...I'll post photos soon in the appropriate area.

Iv been to Moab , Slick rock ! about as slick as rough concrete . You can pull some wild angles with the traction there is there .

Take a boulder and put some mud on it and the challenge goes way up . Tellico trails in NC and Tenn for me thanks .

Its my oppionion rookies find Moab a challenge , If you have little off road experience you will enjoy it there . </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I would love to see this loud mouth pull off some of the real challenging trails. I know several rock crawling competition rigs that have probs w/ some of these trails! bring out the old ford pinto and tear it up!
By the way they call it slick rock because when it get's wet it's very slick!
I started off-roading about 20 years ago, I'm definately not a rookie and I LOVE MOAB! SEE YA!

No, we don't. But we're getting a pretty good idea of the kind of jack off you must be in real life.

And you can't spell sniveling or say shi<span class="ev_code_BLACK">t</span>(or was it fuc<span class="ev_code_BLACK">k</span>?).

Perhaps I have totally missed this, but do we have any tentative dates for this event?

If it is around Easter, I vote for after Easter! I'd really like to go, but the holiday puts me at the inlaws which is in the opposite direction...

After this Friday, I'll go through this post and gather all the names for a private thread and let you all know dates and specifics.

[Chip]

Anyone doing the Hole in the Rock trail? That's one of the best trails down there. Takes a couple of days and one ought not to try it by yourself.

[nmikes]

Hey KenP,

Just got into DC from Seattle so have been out of the loop. Gobi rack and all, still managed around 18 mpg... 5 months and about 13,000 miles, whats a few thousand more? Just hopin when this engine wears out, the diesel will be available and it'll fit. Really would like to join the caravan out to MOAB if I can get away. Where ever the list is, put me on it.

[HummerNewbie]

I don't think it is going to work out timing wise but could you put me on the list so I can try http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
