Make RME Rockcrawling Again!

The August RME Run to Hanging Tree Trail in Ephriam, Utah was a great success! We were fortunate to have a handful of local guys that ran with us, shared the history of the trail and details like the names of different obstacles, which was great. Chad, Dave and Brian were an excellent resource to have along for the ride, thanks guys! :D

If you're planning to run this trail, please be aware of the private property that you travel thru, respect the landowners property and wishes and if you want to park on the private land, talk to Carl who manages the property. Carl is on RME as @YouKnowWho , Text or Call him and make a plan!

Hanging Tree Trail is rated a 5 on the 1-5 scale, front & rear lockers, 35" tires and a winch are the bare minimum recommended for the trail and after running it, I think it's a very accurate requirement! If you pack it in, please pack it out... and leave the trail in better condition than you found it! We picked up some empty water bottles, empty aluminum cans, a broken CV axle from a SxS, etc. Please respect the trail and wild places by leaving it clean!

We also had a good mix of rigs and drivers along for the trip; @Herzog in his buggy on 43's, @Mouse in a killer TJ on 42's, @Early Bronco Jones in his EB on 42's, @stockblock in his Samurai on 37's and @grant426 in his Toyota Tacoma on 35's.

I was more focused on video, so don't have a ton of pics. I'll share what I have, will have a video to share later this week. Please share the pics you got if you attended!


VIdeo!

Greg posted my attempt to the RME Instagram page. I was giggling at every attempt. That was so fun. Hopefully I can make it up next time!

Its amaizing how slick it is. I probably have an hour of video just like that from over the years lol. The only time I really ever got launched with enough speed to make it up I smacked the wall at the top and broke a pinion yoke!

Man that trail is fun. Don't think I'm going to make it down there this year. Sad I missed this, but did have a good time up AF canyon with the family. Surprisingly we only saw 3 utvs and 1 jeep between Mineral Basin and Mary Ellen Gulch.
