Moab 'Zu XIII May 11, May 15, 2010

Here is a link that BigSwede posted over on the Planet that has good descriptions of most of the trails in Moab. The trails are rated (1-10...1 being the easiest and 10 someplace you probably don't want to take your VX!) and can give you some ideas of where you might want to trek....Here you go! (keep in mind, some of these trails might be harder, some easier as mother nature has her way with them)

For Kane Creek I think a little lift would be a good idea. The water isn't an issue, usually only a few inches deep, although it is crossed like 50 times. There is a possibility of brush scratches on yer paint, lots of tamarisk trees in the canyon bottom. There are a few rockpiles where a LSD or locker comes on handy, or a strap.

I got lots of pinstriping last year on Kane Creek so our less hardcore members might balk a little at that. There's also the tippy spot at the beginning where Gill tried to drive off the cliff that would be intimidating to some of the newer folks.

Elephant Hill is a long day to do it all, but as all have said out standing scenery. A easier trail with breathtaking views is Top of the World and if some of the really brave want to spice it up on the way home you can always go out via Rose Garden Hill. Dome Plateau is on the other side of the canyon from TotW and equally good if not better views, but can be easy to get off track in all the roads back there.

Bear in mind I am not proposing Kane Creek or Elephant Hill for the VX Run, but for smaller runs later in the week.

Unfortunately it is looking like I may not be making it this year....this sucks!

I am going to try all in my power to be there though, just not looking good.
