MOAB S-u-c-k-s...Go Elsewhere(pics added 9-20)

I've taken my Gen1 all over Moab and it cleared every technical trail I took it down with ease. I didn't attempt Pritchett Canyon.

John, I noticed all your pictures are of you driving your previous Gen 1, do you think a Gen 2 could handle this hell hole of a place as well as the Gen 1 did?

I’m sure it will do even better. I’ve taken my Gen2 to places around here that I know my Gen1’s wouldn’t have faired as well. The Trail control has already saved my Azzzz a couple of times when I was sliding off of Ridges on a trip to the pine box or Trauma center. Suspension/ Travel plus the electronics take most of the skill out of Off-roading your Raptor (IMHO)
There is a plethora of Raptor friendly trails in and around MOAB, (but I wouldn’t waist my time ) Lots of Fantastic sights and trails on the Green River side too. I set up Basecamp once in Green River and just worked that side for a week. There is some incredible remote hiking on that side too!
@jzweedyk recommends a great trail book for the area. Hopefully he will share it here. I’ve just used my Benchmark Maps to decide where to go in the past.
Several pictures are from the ARCHES NP side where you want to stop every 100yds and take another picture.
But The Vegas Strip has a lot to offer..
HOOKERS N BLOW for example

Soooooo true, Moab should be avoided - let's get the word out so more people don't keep going there. No good trails, landscape is nothing special, no sure what all the hype is all about

Great pictures thanks for sharing. I’m glad you had a horrible time too

seen a guy , either here or on FB group, doing Hell's gate. Did it but bent the exhaust tips on his Jenny
And if Juan can do it, Jenny can do it too and even more. Nice Pics

Nice pictures & Truck. Why are you wearing a jacket? When we were there back in July it was 118 degrees.
