    Default Looking for No snow for a 4x4 trip



    Are there any areas about 6hours from Denver which are good for offroading. I am contemplating a New Years trip and was thinking Moab. Do you think that is do-able or not even worth the trip.
    Thanks in advance

    china wall in BV

    to bad Saint George is the other side of the state.
    rare to see snow, less people, and some sweet trails.
    if you do decide the trip is worth it let me know, I have friends there that can be great guides

    Moab is hit or miss on snow. but from the looks of that pic, it's probably not going to be gone by the time you get there.

    last weekend it was dry.

    Well here goes nothing. I'm going to Moab! Not sure what to expect, been there many times but never in winter and never with a 4x4 rig. If nothing else, im going to have fun. Happy new year everyone.

    I've run a few Moab trails in the snow, really quite fun! Lots of tire squealing at low speed!

    If the trails are sketchy stick to the easy ones.

    Arrived safe and did sevenmile rim. Super fun first trail. Only small patches of snow scattered in the brush. Only saw one person on the trail.
