33rd Annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari
Moab Rim

Our last day of safari came around and we decided to make our scheduled run over Moab Rim. The forecast was calling for even more snow, but we weren't about to lose another day of 'wheelin'.

Moab Rim is almost all off-camber (or at least, it sure feels that way). You go up the canyon rim and then edge inward and end up in some neat sand dunes. As we approached the furthest point it began snowing. Obviously, it made for a very interesting trip back down the rim. Certainly not a trail I'd recommend doing when wet.

Jayson managed to take the bottom of the Z-Turn at the wrong angle.

He laid his Cherokee over on a rock, creased the side of the body pretty badly, and knocked the window out, sending his cooler flying.
