Rocky Mountain Region August Meet-Up- UTAH - Southern Mountains and Barracks!
Camping with fellow OB members in the Southern Utah mountains. Campsite will be accessible by any SUV/4WD vehicle, exact location will be posted at a later date, I just want to get it on the calendar so we can get a gauge of how many people will be attending and I'll pick a spot accordingly so PLEASE RSVP! Its ok if plans change... but we don't want to pick a spot and then be squished. There is a vast variety of terrain available down here for exploration and fun for the whole family.
The Barracks trail can be run as an in and out from the east or a full west -> east. Either way there will be something like 20 water crossings (expect mid wheel at deepest point, no extra diff breathers required) and It can be navigated is most any 4wd vehicle.. there are multiple options for obstacles to accommodate all rigs. We will also pass "the belly of the dragon" (see photo) its a fun tunnel under the highway and a great place to beat the heat. There are a lot of other fun things nearby we can explore in the desert and mountains.
Please feel free to ask questions! For navigation purposes to gauge your travel time and mileage I put the rally point in a generally centralized location of the camping options. I will update with an exact point as the event gets closer.
