Come join us for the Skyline Drive overnighter. We will meet at the Chevron in Spanish Fork at the mouth of the canyon. Drive up to the trailhead of one of the best drives in Utah. Maybe a quarter of the way in, depending on speed and distance covered, we will stop and set up camp and enjoy the company of fellow overlanders.

If you are not able to make stay over night, there are multiple routes that drop down into nearby town to get you home.

The start time is flexible, but it would be nice to set up camp before dusk.

Bring your own food and supplies as if you're alone. We will have each other so don't go buying something just for this ride.

Call or text (best) me for any more information. I will update this as necessary.

This should be fun, i will not be able to do the overnight but might be able to rally up in the morning and catch the group as we finish the route out. Are we hoping to do the same route as last time?

I can probably make this, on the east coast now, but should be home in time. What is the actual place and time to meet?

Are you heading north through Diamond Fork or Soldier Summit, South through Thistle, or somewhere completely different?

Yup that’s the plan. Not sure if we’ll camp in the same spot though.

We will be meeting at the Chevron station on HWY 6 just at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. We will then head east on the 6 and turn onto Skyline Drive. We’ll drive up the trail till we get to a nice, available spot to set up camp. We had a pretty good spot last year, not sure if we could find it again. I’ll have an OB Base Camp flag up so look out for that if you happen to come up behind us.

Thanks Russell for planing this. I'm in. I've got a long drive back on Sat., so I just might have to find a spot to camp Sat night.
