I know it's boating season, but are any RDP'ers going. Can't wait. First time to Moab with guides for 5 days of off roading with the RZR.
Diggin the info --- it's on my bucket list. Neighbors were there last week, said the place was jammed with more people, rzrs etc than Havasu during Balloon Fest !!!
Is there a season when it's not so packed but still fairly comfy weather ?
The trick is book the RV park way in advance. They shut down in winter so spring or fall when school is in session is ideal.
Their is a cheap pay BLM RV camping area there too BTW. It's called Parking Lot: https://freecampsites.net/#!106598&query=sitedetails
The other BLM camping is either walk-in or RV length is limited.
Like Glamis once you get on the trails everyone is pretty dispersed.
Not bad except for that unprepared ride you encounter that is stuck, dead in the water that has no tire repair nor spare belt provisions.
It's a long ass way to tow someone and it gets pretty treacherous. Roll with a group if you can.
You are really way, way out there.
Hells Revenge and similar is fine but some people take it way to fast and come flying over the top while you're climbing and 3/4 of the way up is the warnings we hear. SO:
If they hit you it's going to suck. Like two billiard balls going into the side pockets.
We waited for a Jeep club to go up, they usually have a spotter(s) and that's the key and we followed as did others.
I leave from Havasu Friday, head to San Diego to drop off the dog at my parents, Ontario at 6am to get in the motorhome and we will be headed out. Monday is set up and then it begins. This is my first year, Im excited to be out there. Swing by the SXS Trailer and say hello. We have some cool things going on for the event.

I went to this last year on assignment for UTVUnderground. Amazing event in an amazing place. You'll have a blast.
