I’m going to do fins and hells on Saturday with team co , after that I’m taking it easy for the rest except I would like to do elephant hill. You can count me in be more than happy to get out and spot for anyone, that being said my disclaimer is I’m not a pro but I’m not stupid either.lol
Don’t forget you need a pass for elephant hill and last time I was there it was only 3 jeeps allowed every 30 minutes.
Anyone interested in elephant hill should do it, it is a really fun trail. We didn't have any metering of Jeeps/hour back last September that I was aware of.
Thanks I know I read that somewhere but there’s so much info going into my head I have a senior moment all to often. i saw on someones list they were going to do it so I’m hoping to tag along.
It’s a great trail and hike the joint while there.

If I don't get it fixed, I'll put the winch back on.

I’m hoping to get to elephant hill. permits are needed and are only available 24 hours in advance I believe. Anyone been there to confirm that? Hot ticket maybe
That’s correct for day use, you can do overnight much further out (and it was great if you have the time).

I can’t check it on my phone so I can’t confirm - but I believe so, you just go through recreation.gov
You can reserve your spot for the trail online within 24/hrs then pay the entrance fee at the gate. Elephant hill is fairly easy but the scenery is amazing.
It’s definitely worth the trip, gorgeous area, but make sure you have plenty of fuel range or extra fuel. It’s something like 70 miles from the Moab gas station so you’re looking at 140 miles plus whatever crawling and trails you do.
I pulled my console today to start cutting. Front end is torn apart only one seat in. I hope it still runs when I’m done.
I’ve only had this new heater core on the shelf for two months.
I took an economics class once, one concept that stuck with me is that people often only act at the margin. Here we are.
There is an “outpost” just before the park entrance, but you’ll be paying a good premium for the gas there. Even if you don’t fill up it’s worth the stop since the pumps are original from the 60s!
