My great great Uncle settled Monticello, a few places named after my family there. Great off roading and insane hunting! I will be out there if I draw a tag. Maybe some off roading and hunting, that would be a fun trip!

We took the RZR and went up Gemini Bridges road to 313 then took the Hey Joe Canyon road down to Spring Bottom Canyon and turned left (instead of right to Hey Joe Canyon) and went to the end. Stopped a couple of places to explore. Ran across three pickups and a van that was lost (they were supposed to be down Mineral Bottom). Took a "shortcut" on the way home which turned out to be a challenging trail. Went 100 miles total. My 1-1/2 month 
old RZR now has 800 miles on it already. Beautiful day.

We took the RZR and tried to do Poison Spider, but there were 30 RZRs ahead of us and about 6 Jeeps. We got up to the second hairpin and saw the line going up the hill and turned around. Went out Shafer trail to our secret canyon. Some bushes are blooming and some cactus are starting to bloom. Got back before the rain started.

We took a couple of friends and did the B&T Trail again in the RZRs. (Buttes and Towers) We left early as it was supposed to rain this afternoon, and we made it back just in time.

You are the best tour guide!
How would a stock 4 seater Razor do in Moab? An old 800?

The real problem would be ground clearance. If you don't mind using the "skid plate" a lot, it will be fine. Go on moderate and easy trails (there are a lot) and have fun. The other option is to rent one here. There are many shops that rent RZRs and Jeeps. Both run about $ 300.00 a day, I believe. Best place in town to rent a Jeep is at Twisted Jeeps. They build their Jeeps to handle most trails. If you want to rent a RZR, check out Moab Side by Side, he does all my repairs and work on my RZRs, and also rents them.

Finally took the Jeep out on a trail. We have a Jeep rally here next week and I am leading two trails, so I thought I should pre-run the "Top of the World" trail s I haven't done it for a couple of years. The rally rated it as a 3 (out of 5) and I knew that was too low. It used to be a really bumpy relatively easy/moderate trail, not any more. If you want to know how bumpy the trail is, look in your dictionary and under "bumpy" there will be a picture of the trail. Anyway, while the scenery is still as spectacular as always, the trail is now a solid 4. If you read the book on Moab and see it as a moderate trail, I seriously recommend you do it in a built Jeep and not in your Raptor. When I informed the rally people of the change, they canceled that trail and now I am assigned to another trail, which if fine as I really didn't want to do it again next week.
