Description
Event Location: Emery County Utah
May is the perfect time to take a 4-wheel drive trip through Utah, with its warm weather and stunning natural beauty. We plan to spend time in The San Rafael Swell. The highlight of the trip is the view of the “Grand Canyon” of Utah.
The San Rafael Swell is located in central Utah. The Swell is a vast area of rugged terrain that is perfect for 4-wheel drive adventures. It is approximately 2000 square miles of uninhabited area. There are a number of trails and backroads that can be explored in a 4-wheel drive vehicle, and you’ll have the opportunity to see some of the most breathtaking scenery in the state. We plan to spend five days in the Swell and will set up a base camp. Plenty of time for relaxing and Dutch Oven cooking.
