Day Five:
Trails(s): Hidden Canyon Overlook, Hidden Canyon Escape, Bartlett Overlook, Hidden Canyon, The Pickle (walked it), Tusher Tunnel, Seven Mile Rim, & Wipeout Hill.
Yes we covered 7 trails driving and 1 hiking all in 7.5 hours. Fifty three miles of trail. It was an absolute blast and great to see a lessor used area of the Moab Region. Most four wheelers stop south of 313 but not our crew, we wanted to see it all. Joining Keith, Steve and I were Tia's Father (also Steve) and Reid from SoCal in his 1st gen Amigo. During the high speed wash runs Reid managed to snap a CV Shaft so Tia’s Father assisted him off the trail as Keith, Steve, and I continued on.
Tusher Tunnel - Pretty cool tunnel probably 50 meters in length that leads to the next photo
The opposite side of this tunnel also has other openings that lead to different caverns
Seven Mile Rim overlooking Rt 191

This will get your heart rate going; Steve in his 2nd gen Rodeo taking on Wipout Hill. This is also one of those times that you wished you didn't skimp and went for the steel braided brake lines
Day Six;
Trail(s): Behind the Rocks
Today we join the masses of ZuZoo to run a more challenging trail, but yet very scenic at that. Nineteen vehicles in all, 20 if you count the J.O. who parked his rental car in the middle of the trail. This trail has some of the more dangerous obstacles in Moab to include High Dive, Up Chuck, and White Knuckle. Those three obstacles alone I've personally witnessed rollovers, mechanic catastrophes, and even air bags deploying.
Here's the reason why they call it Behind the Rocks
Corbin in his massively built 2nd gen Amigo taking on High Dive
Fernando in his absolutely exquisitely built 1st gen Amigo going down Roller Coaster.
Can't get much better than this for a Rodeo, Travis running 40's" on his 2nd gen coning down the shelf to White Knuckle Hill. No turning back at this point.
How about this for scenery, purple as far as you could see
Your's truly taking the Lowrider down the same shelf................"40's........We don't need no stinking 40's"
Michael in his sweet JK testing out a Nth Degree Prototype suspension system. I'd have to say it worked out flawlessly
