Kat, The last time I was in Moab it looked like the Red Rocks will be open again very soon. They ended up NOT tearing it down and have been giving it a face lift. I guess they just didn't want us to come back.
As for your hood; you'll probably need to adjust the rubber bumpers that push your hood up. I think there are a couple of threads on the fix around here somewhere. They just "unscrew" from the upper radiator support to make them taller, which puts more pressure on your hood so that when you pull the hood release the hood will pop up (or should).
Found one of the threads: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...t=hood+release
Now, grab that case of oil and get on the road.
