We came home over the Wooden-Shoe Road which connected us to the Elk Ridge Road and then we dropped down over the Bears Ears to SR95 then on to Blanding, Moab & Home. The colors up there were nothing short of stellar and we passed maybe one or two vehicles until we got close to Natural Bridges.
Impossible Hill is quite a bit harder than Bobby's Hole, down isn't much but coming up was pretty much dual lockers and some clearance, even then we had a Jeep in our group bust a front joint. It would be comparable to say the Rock Garden on Mineral Basin but on a 35+ degree slope. It would be more than I would be comfortable with climbing on my bike personally.
Gotcha, sounds like a fun trip!
I would be interested to see a mild 4x4 going up Bobbys Hole hill, if you were aired down it would probably be fine, but if your tires spun, you'd have to back up and get a run, from what I saw.
I think I'll pass on Impossible Hill for any near-future trips.
It may be time for me to retire the dirt only bike in favor of a dual sport--the possibilities seem endless
Looks like a good time thanks for sharing!
Dual sports are mucho fun, IMO. I've slowly gone from un-plated dirtbike rider to plated and big-tank-of-fuel dual sport bikes. I've been having so much fun with this bike, it will go many places and provide smiles for miles!
That looked like a killer trip
Nice report and great pics!
It was one of those trips I'll be looking back on for sometime. Some company would have been nice though.
Glad you liked it, let's plan a ride!
Greg- thanks for taking the time to share your trip with us. Next time, you need to physically share your trip with us!
Looks like a blast. Repeat in the spring?
Last RME ride I tried to put together was a no-go, nobody showed up. I thought about posting this here, but didn't think it would take off, so I went by myself.
I could be talked into a Spring-time repeat! But I guarantee we will be pushing bikes up Bobby's Hole hill.
