I got it from this site, although I also have a Funtreks guide that specifies the same: https://www.foxintheforest.net/blm-camping-moab/ "When you’re camping in and around Moab, it’s important that you know and follow all the rules and regulations of the area to protect the land and access to...

My son asked that go a bit further and hit Moab this spring instead of Colorado. I camped with him and others about ten years ago on the Canyonlands Overlook on BLM land where we could drive almost to the edge of the cliff and it was spectacular. We're looking for a similar experience this...

I'll be headed out to see my son in May with a friend. I promised my son a vehicle if he got accepted to the Air Force Academy and it's time to fulfill my promise. We'll be in Colorado Springs to pick him up and then plan a father son backpacking and/or truck camping trip. The farther off the...

Thanks all! What's funny is that I was watching the Paria Canyon hike on Jamal Green's YouTube channel not 10 minutes after I posted this question when he mentioned that Russian Olive was and an invasive species and showed the trees. I Googled it and confirmed the same before I was able to...

The thin white leaves of this tree are fragrant, particularly in Spring and I liken the smell somewhat to honey suckle mixed with sage. Any ideas? Fred

If it's not, it'll do until the best butte arrives..... ;) Thank you.....I assume you've done this climb, and perhaps during a rising full moon?

My son and I spent some time in Utah and Arizona hiking around buttes which are especially beautiful around sunset with a full moon rising in the background. We'd like to actually climb one of these seemingly unclimbable features and spend the evening on top watching the sun set and the moon...

There are too many to choose from when I use apps like Alltrails to search for easy to moderate hikes. If I want vistas of lakes and meadows without getting lost in the trees, what are some must do hikes in this area? Only 2 weeks to go and I still don't have a plan except for the Barr trail! Fred

Sorry to be a broken record, but my search for offroad trailer capability in the US continues. Does anyone have practical experience with Rockwood Geo Pros, particularly the 19 foot models? They seem to have almost everything an Australian caravan has, except the heavy duty chassis. It seems to...

My wife stepped foot in a popup truck camper and basically said no way so my hunt for one of those has ended. She does however seem interested in trailer campers and I particularly like the offroad models popular in Australia. I like the idea of a cross country trip with options to head offroad...

Perfect....thank you.

Is the Million Dollar Highway section open? I believe it's between Silverton and Ouray...

Forest fires!. ...yet another dimension in our intended trip up 550 and the nearby connecting dirt....watching the 416 Fire with anticipation and apprehension...

Thanks for the heads up on closures. I imagine we'll get a Ford Expedition given the propensity of them last time we rented.

We'll be on Colorado the 4th week on June this year and I've been watching video of Imogene Pass. Of course the camera knocks off a few degrees of incline so I'm looking for opinions on driving this route between Telluride and Ouray. Our vehicle will be a 4WD full size SUV, hopefully with nicely...

Thanks everyone for your replies and great blogs. Question: Is there any place to camp between Canyonlands and Valley if the Gods near water?

Checking your blog longhorn, and thanks for the colorado leads Foy. Does anyone know if it's possible to drive backcountry roads from Moab to the Needles Overlook? There looks to be roads like Rt132 but they're cut off by the elevation. I'd like to avoid the highway if at all possible.

Mapping your suggestions. ...thanks very much for the tips!

My daughter has been appointed to Air Force Academy and we're planning a week long trip in June just prior to her induction day. She's never been to Utah, but loved the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. I've been to Utah a couple times and told her "she ain't seen nothin yet". We'll be...

I'm in eastern PA, a location that's about as ideal for finding boondock campers as NYC. You?

Just saw the Moby XTR....hmmmmm.

I wonder if a small trailered popup camper might be better suited for my Tacoma and still allow me to get into the more remote BLM land I'd like to visit?

You all are giving me reasons to cash in my Tacoma and buy a brand new Tundra! With a passenger, it'll be important to consider creature comforts. Assuming a Tundra is the platform, can a recommendation be made on a pop up?

I've been watching truck camper videos all weekend and the more I watch the less I know. Please help me narrow down my options! 1. 2006 Toyota Tacoma dual cab 2. I like mobility and the option of getting way back into areas not frequented by people. 3. I'm leaning towards a popup truck camper...

Good morning all. I'm driving from PA to Colorado Springs to pick up my daughter at USAFA and although my wife isn't a big camper she agreed to one night under the stars. Ideally I'd like to head west a bit out of the city and find a secluded car camping spot in the mountains. KOA's aren't my...
