Here's a thread to keep up with whatever may (or may not) develop on going to Sand Hollow after the TJ Fest.

I certainly don't want to be in charge of organizing anything official. Even my own plans are sketchy at best.

Tentative dates are May 1 - 4, 2021


I'll try to update this first post with any relevant information.

Even if I end up camping in Moab (currently have a condo booked), I would still plan on getting a hotel near Sand Hollow. Mostly because I will only be able to stay a few days. I'm thinking about driving up to Bonneville salt flats before heading back east.
Looking at about 3500 miles round trip so far.

This assumes no catastrophic failures in Moab.

I'm driving a big RV and 5 hrs. is a good number. A group of us ( 4 families) are headed to Sand Hollow after as well. Arriving late 4-1 leaving 4-3. Good times!!
 
Sand hollow is a great time! We're headed down there but not until a month after TJ fest. Don't forget you need a flag to go out there.

Me and family should be able to meet up with you all at least one of those days. We have never wheeled there so are hoping to get shown around a bit by someone experience in the area.

Have any of you been there before?
 
Preliminary Plans is to run Rattlesnake Gulch and Toquerville Falls on Sunday, May 2nd. We'll run the trail in a counterclockwise rotation, stopping at Toquerville Falls for lunch and driving out on Toquerville Falls trail in the reverse direction . After lunch its an easy 5 miles back to the main road so you have the rest of the day to explore or relax.

Rattlesnake Gulch
Toquerville Falls

Meet at the Rattlesnake Gulch Staging Area at 9:00am

Great! Those look like amazing trails for someone new to the area. The family and me will be trying to make this with you all. As long as daughter is not to fried from the week in Moab.

Made reservations at KOA (5/1-5/3) @ Hurricane. Good thing Sand Hallow is booked along with the other 2-3 state park camp grounds. Hurricane is 7 minutes from Rattlesnake trial head or 15 minutes to Sand Hallow SP.

Rattle snake gulch and the falls trails looks nice.
