Moab - Dome Plateau / Fins / Elephant Hill

[HuskerJeep]

I've been to Moab a couple times, but this is the first time I was ble to bring my Jeep. Last week I went out with a few friends (a couple JK's, an XJ and then a JL tagged along for half of it as well).

Day 1 - Dome Plateau. First trail I've ever had the Jeep on.
Day 2 - Hell's Revenge & Fins and Things. I rode/drove with the XJ on Hell's and then took my TJ on Fins.
Day 3 - Elephant Hill

It was a great trip and I'm pretty impressed at what a TJ on 31's can do. Of course, I now have a small list of upgrades to look forward to, namely more lift. My H&R Springs have compressed to stock height and that was showing up in my departure angle.

Elephant Hill is such a great trail! It's hard to get to since it's so far from town, but we did an overnight out there and had a blast. Thanks for sharing!

I bet that was a great time camping, those sites looked like they would be great.

Elephant Hill is something special.

Yeah, those slot canyons are something else. Very cool. We did the confluence as well.

That is great. I will go there next year. Thanks for posting this.

Brings back many fond memories....
Before I moved overseas every October from '99-18 I was there with a Jeep club exploring trails and admiring the scenery....
Elephant Hill was quite enjoyable, but I agree it is quite a drive from Moab to the trail head, the scenery at Dome Plateau is gorgeous, Fins and things is not near as much fun as the others, but still fun to explore.
The first time I did Hells Revenge was in '99 and that trail and the obstacles have changed quite a lot over the years. The most disappointing was several years ago when the access obstacle was PAVED into a driveway and sections were grated so a passenger vehicle with tourists could drive most of the trail...
