@NashvilleTJ, what wheelbase are you running?

His profile says 115"

Good lord, that's a lotta wheelbase!

In all my years of knowing about MOAB. This is the first photo that gives a sense of how steep that climb is. WOW!!

Agreed! It seems like you only ever see Hell's Gate from the top - a view which does the incline absolutely no justice.

Onion Creek trail, no obstacles to get over, just amazing scenery, and about 20+ small water crossings.

Make sure you get it sprayed off pretty well, apparently Onion Creek is pretty contaminated with heavy metals that can be corrosive. Apparently a number of bike shops in town don't allow their bikes their because of what it does to a chain! A local that ran with us alerted us of this just so we knew to clean up well afterward.

Moab Rim. Super sketch technical tire placement required on ascent. Felt off-camber entire way up. NO Bypasses.

In the times I've gone to Moab I have never been to the Golden Crack. My next time there it is on my to do list.

Had a good time today on Fins and Hells with @WV Wanderer. Lots of Broncos out today.

You definitely don't see many SWB vehicles on Pritchett. I was under the impression that it was just too difficult without the added wheelbase. It's really good to see you guys representing. And from the sounds of it, Pritchett made you earn it! Nicely done.

I guess I would have to disagree but I have heard that Pritchett has gotten harder over the years. But when I ran it back in 2008 there were tons of us in TJ's that ran it.

Thanks for all the pics! Cant wait to make it out there. Is TJ fest an annual event or bi-annual?

So, having never been to Moab, I'm going off of what I see on the interWebs. It's not easy to find videos of TJs on Pritchett- that doesn't mean they aren't out there though. I'm looking forward to seeing Moab this summer.

I've said it 10 times if not more already but I'll say it again.

Pritchett Canyon is my #1 trail in Moab. It is always on my list of trails to hit when I have gone. And will be on my next trip.

#2 on my list is Area BFE. So of you have never been to Moab before go take a look at both.

I appreciate the advice!

Is it true that Area BFE is closed to the public? I thought maybe I'd heard that somewhere?
