Giving Back

We wanted to take moment and thank all of you that have rented from us this past spring. It really has been an amazing year for us. When we started this business a few years ago we wanted to do a few things- 1. Provide a way that we could stay in a place we love. 2. Find a way to provide employment for some of the citizens that could become year round, so they can stay here as well. 3. Be able to give back to the community.

Now let me explain a little bit, Moab is a tourist town and most of the jobs are tourist related. Once the season ends many people are without jobs and have to go on unemployment and still struggle to get by. We wanted to be able to provide some jobs for people that they can rely on year after year. I think we have accomplished this in a small scale and hopefully as we grow we will be able to provide for more families in our area. We also wanted to give back to the community, we have not been able to give a lot but we try to give where we can. The other day a lady came in and thanked us for a donation that we made to the local teen center and how if it were not for the teen center she would not be able to work. This made us feel good of course and then we realized that we were helping to provide care and support for this family year round by supporting something that helped others in the community sustain their lives.

We were also able to give a donation to a family that was struggling to cover the medical costs of a family member that had been diagnosed with breast cancer and even though our donation was small hopefully it will help a little.

And for something fun we sponsored a local girls tball team. Team Canyonlands Jeep Adventures.

One of the reasons why I wanted to blog about this is that I think it is important for people to know what you stand for. Yes, it may be a little prideful to toot your own horn, but you have quite a few choices of who you can rent your next vehicle from and I justed wanted to point out that when you rent from us you are helping us do something we love as well as helping our families, but more importantly you are helping us with our mission of helping those around us. Thank you for choosing Canyonlands Jeep Adventures and at least looking at our website and blog.

PS- Rent a Jeep from us :)

Jeeping with the Seniors

Canyonlands Jeep Adventures was asked by the Moab Chamber of Commerce and the Red Rock 4 Wheelers to participate in their annual Senior Citizen Aperciation Day. So of course we said OK and then we headed out to Fins and Things for a fun afternoon of 4 wheeling. It was a great event, the Moab Seniors are tough many of the obstacles had the drivers a bit stressed but it did not phase seniors at all. The weather was a bit cool but we still had a lot of fun. Here are some photos from our trip.

We still have a few Jeeps available for rent the first part of Jeep Safari.

London to Moab? No Problem

Everyone knows how big a bargain the US is right now for people living in European Countries. This is great, but most do not realize how easy it is to get to Moab. Most people when they call to inquire about traveling to our part of the world they think that it takes a month just to get here. They think they have to fly in a plane to New York or Los Angeles, rent a car and drive to Las Vegas lose the family fortune, and then continue on to Moab or do the Grand Circle. Not anymore. You can be in Moab in about a day leaving from Heathrow and flying directly to Denver International and then catching a flight from Denver to Moab. Its that easy! Then when you get to Moab your vehicle that you rented from us is here and you are free to go where you want and the best part is you are in the middle of the Grand Circle. From Moab you are in a central location to travel to Lake Powell, Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, All 3 districts of Canyonlands, Arches, Natural Bridges, you have a week worth of exploring all from Moab. The best part about this is that it only took two flights, three if you are coming from Europe. Now for the key to the whole mystery of how do I make this happen? British Airways offers the flight from Heathrow to Denver and Great Lakes Aviation offers the flight Denver to Moab. Check our their websites for more information.
Now is the time to see the Southwest with Canyonlands Jeep Adventures

THE SMOG! RUN

Last week we had to run up to Salt Lake City to see our families. I really like Salt Lake in small doses and it has a lot of stuff going on up there, and not to mention all the people. But as my wife and I drove down Spanish Fork Canyon we rounded a bend and the smog layer was so thick it looked like a scene out of a movie where it had been bombed all night and all there was left was this thick layer of smoke. It was really quite disgusting. My mom who is a school teacher in SLC has not been able to let her kids go out at recess due to the bad air quality. I have to admit the sunsets over the west mountains are amazing with all the smog in the air. Another thing we noticed is that it was 12 degrees cooler in the valley then it was at the top of Soldier Summit which is 7477 ft, I think SLC is around 4500 ft. It was down right cold in the valley.

Well after we did our shopping, family mingling we came home it was amazing to watch the outside temp guage come up as went up Spanish Fork Canyon and continue to rise all the way to Moab. When we left Salt Lake it was 23 degrees at 12:00 pm when we arrived in Moab it was 48 degrees and sunnyat 3:30pm. I guess the whole reason for my blog today is if you need a little sun therapy and who doesnt, as well as a little peace and quiet come to and visit us in Moab. The restuarants are starting to reopen in anticipation of the half marathon coming up in March as well as Jeep Safari. Our town is perfect right town (in a Mayberry kind of way) and most of the trails are open. Remember to look at our internet specials link for discounted rates off our all ready great rates. When you book tell us you like our blog, or if we could be doing something better with our time.

Fly straight to Moab

We are super excited about a new airline that has come to Moab. Now you can fly directly from Denver to Moab and back if you want. They are a great airline and are dedicated to providing great service to the Moab area.

Remember that if you do fly in and have a vehicle reserved with us for more then three days we will come out and pick you up at the airport for FREE. Also ask us about dropping the vehicle at the airport when you leave town.

For Flight information check out Great Lakes website

Has Spring Sprung?

After a long hard Moab winter, it looks as though the end may be in sight. I have lived in Moab for 14 years and this was the first year that I wished I owned a snowshovel. While many of you were shoveling the snow off of your driveways or wherever I was sweeping the snow off of mine. In my mind I kept saying if I have to sweep my driveway one more time I am going to scream. Well, I think the snow gods heard my cries, because today the sun has come out and it is warm. I have been walking around outside in a t-shirt and it has feels great. The good news is that it is suppose to continue for the next week. Right now at in downtown Moab at 4:30 pm it is 50 degrees, and these temperatures are suppose to continue for the next week. If you are looking at a great time to come down this is the time. The town is empty, the National Parks are empty, Hotel rooms are cheaper they will be in a few weeks, Jeeps are cheaper then they will be in a few weeks. But the best part is the scenery right now is breathtaking! Arches and Canyonlands in the snow is something that most people never see for themselves unless it is in a picture or on a postcard. Now is the time to come down and get away from those mounds of white stuff that everytime you see it, it makes your back hurt. Remember to Check out or Internet specials for a list of current discounts.

NEW FJ CRUISER

It has finally arrived, we picked up the 2008 FJ Cruiser. We are really excited about it, in fact we keep driving it around and have started fight amongst ourselves to see who gets it, when it is not out on the trail. The FJ is a great vehicle it has a ton of space inside and is perfect for those looking at being on the trail, without having to worry about the sun beating down on you. It has A/C, stereo with MP3 jacks, comfortable seats, onboard compass/temp guage.
If you are looking for a vehicle that you can go out and see the area in and not have to worry about leaving your personal stuff out in the open while you are out hiking then this is what you are looking for. This would also be a great vehicle for Mountain Bike support trips on the White Rim, Maze, or the Needles.
Through March 7th we are running a special on the FJ so Check out our "Internet Specials" section of our website for more information.
