The Moab Story - Club 4x4ord

[ahhjaws]

Here are some pics and movies from our trip 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I can't upload all the videos I have cause I'm near my host's limit (I'm going to upgrade to a larger one soon and I'll post all the videos up) The only working one is Rose Garden Hill down below right now.


Day one.
Left Woodland Park to Needles District of Canyonlands NP

Day two.
We went straight to Elephant Hill (rated 9th hardest trail in Moab) and actually completed it this year! My parents went with us for the beginning to show us how its done in their stock Explorer.

Getting ready for the trails.
