Utah Moab in May 2025

Hey guys I'm late to chiming in and this thread is 20 pages deep. Can I get a synapsis? I'd like to tag along, what are the official dates and what do I need to do to crash this party?

See post #1 for dates and everyone who’s going and suggested trails. See post #394 for the info about the trail poll starting tomorrow or so. Let @Apparition know if you’re going.

First post has all the info you need, really. May 3-9th is the general dates, however you can show up anytime you want. Good bit of us at Red Desert park this year instead of KOA. We're soliciting requests for trails too so if there are trails you want to do not on that first post let us know, we'll be doing a poll soon.
 
🤣 I did read that part. As long as you’re willing to spot I’ll give it a go…. never been accused of being smart. Dates on first couple pages seemed tentative, if that’s them I’ll make them work.

You got a locker?
I was out doing some trails at the Dragoon mountains north of Tombstone yesterday and and just got caught up on this banter this morning. I'm willing to try any trails that my 2.5" lift and and not quite 32" tires will allow.

You too. You got a locker? I mightve asked already but kinda forgot

I think the reason I was able to do so much the first year with no lift/31s was due to my lunchbox locker up front. Just seeing what to suggest to you guys

I will say, RR4W has decent descriptions of the trails but I think their "requirements" listed are way off base. I think they assume a super unconfident driver, so maybe judge how you feel. But 35+" tires front and rear locker required for metal masher?

I think they are geared more towards JK's and JL's

They also say you need 37's for Pritchett, we've proven

Yep, I've always felt the same about how the rated trails and their equipment requirements even from 2007 or 08 IMO they were off base.

That's the world we live in now.. We're NOW the Red Headed Step Child...
 
I may do the trifecta one day. My neighbor Thomas is coming along again and we were not able to do it for some reason last year. I think it was a scheduling conflict…🙄

I will say that I also want to do the normal trifecta in normal order. The question there is how many people want to do rusty nail since you typically go in reverse... But that's what the poll will be for 🙂

Nothing saying we can't split the groups and say hi as we pass. I'm in for a normal one. Mrs App would probably prefer that route.

Doesn’t the normal route start from the Poison Spyder end?
