Note that Red Rock 4-Wheeler guidelines require 35" plus tires, additional traction devices (e.g. Lockers), enhanced suspension, and high ground clearance for 6-rated trails.

• Twenty-one vehicles turned out for the first trail of the year for a drive over Hurrah Pass and a loop around Jackson Butte.  The day included a little snow, more than a little mud, and interesting points of interest provided by Rick Wolcott, who led the trail.

   
  On March 18, we will make our first of two visits to Emory County in 2023.  Plans are to explore the region north of I-70 and west of Green River, including portions of the Devil's Racetrack, which has a Trail Rating of 5.  Because of the distances involved, participants should plan on returning to Green River after 5 pm.  This trail departs from Outlaws Garage, 825 E. Main St in Green River, UT at 9:00 am.  Those wishing to caravan from Moab should meet at the Moab City Market at 8:00 am. 

• In May, The Trail of the Month ran the Boxcar and Kamikaze trails south of Moab, offering views of Hatch Wash Canyon and Lockhart Basin.  Twenty-four vehicles participated, and we had these infrequently used trails to ourselves for the day. Much thanks to Bill Wehrli for stepping up to lead this trail.

• Coming Up Next Month

  In June, we will be doing Backwards Bill.  This 5-Rated trail ascends Wipe-Out Hill, which is a relatively non-technical but very intimidating obstacle.  There is no bypass around Wipe-Out Hill, so all participants must climb this hill.  The trail leaves the City Market at 9:00 am on June 17.
