What kind of rig are you driving? We have a Tacoma OffRoad, no lift, slightly larger tires so you should be good. There's just so much to see there so it depends on how long you have. You can't beat the camping options and views almost anywhere at The Wedge. Driving from The Wedge down in to...

Hey Neal, nice to see that someone replied on this post. Never did get any response on this one but hey, this coming September will see us going to Sedona, one half of the Arizona Peace Trail, Kofa Wilderness, Trona Pinnacles, Mojave Rd, Death Valley and as many hot springs as we can find along...

Not sure of the direction of travel you're taking, north from Big Water or south from Escalante but if you're taking Smokey Mountain Rd there's another awesome dispersed campsite at lat 37.18831 lon -111.44556. It overlooks the terrain leading to Alstrom Point which in itself is amazing and you...

We have a good base of knowledge of the area but local knowledge is gold, not to mention expanding our contacts...

White Rim Rd, The Dollhouse in The Maze, Muley Point, Bears Ears, Beef Basin,these were but a few of...
