Trail Updates

For everyone who enjoys the White Rim Trail, be advised that the Mineral Bottom Road switchbacks have been washed away due to the heavy rains that Moab had during the "monsoon season". The White Rim is drivable to Potato Bottom from the Shafer/Potash side, but then you would have to back track the same way out.

The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park also has had trail damages that will require road crews to make the repairs. Elephant Hill Trail has been re-opened as of September 7th.

There are still so many wonderful trails close to Moab that you could go out on and have a great day 4 wheeling. Give us a call and rent a jeep for some fun Fall activites.

"Fall" into Canyonlands Jeep for some fun

It is Labor Day 2010 and the weather is beautiful in Moab. Labor Day signals the end of Summer for many, but there are still so many things to do and enjoy in Moab. We are currently in the midst of the 18th annual Moab Music Festival. You could four wheel around some of the area trails during the day and then go to one of the evening concerts with world class musicians.

Great Customer Feedback - Thanks Bryan

Reserved a Jeep Rubicon online about month before the trip. Very easy. Showed up the night before the rental day and they let me take it home the night before so I could start out early. Jeep was in good shape, clean, and ready for trails with good tires and a lift. They gave me maps of the trails and the jeep ran great. Very easy process and the people were friendly. I will definitely be back to Moab and rent a jeep again from the Adventure Center. We also did a half day rafting trip with them and it was just as easy and professional. I highly recommend the Adventure Center.

2010 Season has begun!!

Sorry we have not updated for awhile. More will be coming this week. Our 2010 season has begun and we are looking forward to a great season. Thank you to all of you that have rented from us and made us the most referred company in town. Thank you again and please come back this year and join us again for more exciting adventures in Moab and Moab's backcountry.

WIND CAVES

I will be the first to admit that I do not get out exploring as much as I use too. With a 2 year old and twin 1 year olds it is a major ordeal just to go to the grocery store. This weekend my wife's brother and his family came down for a visit. Trying to figure out something to do we decided to go to the wind caves. This is a great place to explore with kids and just like anywhere you go out here the scenery is amazing. I decided to take one of our new Rubicon 4 doors just to see how it ran and to see what it could do. We loaded up the car seats and took off on our adventure. As we headed out I must say we were all really impressed with how the Rubicon handled, it was very comfortable and fun to drive. As we headed out it was a great day for being in the back country, traveling down Kane Creek, we stopped at the parking lot for the tombstone a popular place for basejumpers. There were a lot of cars but no basejumpers were jumping. We also stopped and looked at some petroglyph panels that are in the area and then headed out to Hurrah Pass. At 4870 feet you have some great views of the surrounding area. As we headed out again it the road was just rough enough that we were glad we had the Jeep, but not scary enough to make my wife freak out with the kids in tow.

We made it to the wind caves and set up a great picnic lunch on a natural rock table out. We then spent a few hours exploring the rocks and all the natural caves in this huge rock outcropping. It was a great afternoon, if we had left a little earlier we would have drove out to chicken corners which is very beautiful overlook, looking towards Dead Horse Point. After spending some time out there we turned around and made our way back to town. I think we were gone about 4 hours and it was a nice drive. Here are some pictures of our trip. If you are interested in doing this trip just come in and ask us and we will show you how to get there. Of course we would encourage you to rent a Jeep.

2009 Moab Events

Here are a list of events coming up this year in Moab. For those of you that have never been to Moab you are missing out. Moab has so much to offer, most of the people that I have talked to over the years say that once they have been to Moab they will be back. Moab has a lot of great activities from Hiking, River Rafting, Jeeping (#1 activity in our mind), and som much more. With 2 National Parks just a few miles from the heart of Moab, Moab is a great escape for everyone.

Below are some events that are coming up in Moab that should not be missed.

MAR 27-29 Moab Muni Fest 2009

“MUni” is short for Mountain Unicycling. “Fest” is short for Festival, and that’s what the Moab MUni Fest is all about. It’s a time to break the winter cabin fever and get out to the pleasant March climes of Moab; to ride and socialize with other MUni riders in the scenic red rock wonderland of Southern Utah. It’s a place to test and expand your limits, hone your skills, and learn new techniques from other riders. The entire Slickrock area is red sandstone rock, which means you’ll have traction to climb and descend angles you never thought possible. The landscape is a trials course. For non-trials riders it’s just as much fun figuring out how to avoid the obstacles. In either case there’s plenty to keep you entertained. It’s a great place to make and renew friendships within the com-MUni-ty of riders. For more info visit: http://www.moabmunifest.com/
