        Then came the "can opener" where you can try and straddle two big rocks but risk slipping off and destroying one side of your jeep or do an S turn around 2 huge boulders which is what Nate and I did.







        Nate making moves














        I pretty much did the same thing as Nate but was lined up pretty good where my passenger tire climbed and swung me around the rock pretty quickly. Mike was spotting and only got a pic as I made it through







        Next came the "The Waterfall"







        Time to winch




        Mike lining up





        Giving it hell


        Time for a tug



        Nate





        Good time to stall right about here haha


        Just winching up this wall was crazy

                    yeah there simply wasnt any chance I'd get up that thing without winching.

                    The only vehicles I've seen make it are stretched to about 116" and have A LOT more power!

                      Day 6

                      Well the final day in Moab had arrived. With majority of the group leaving thursday and Mikes steering getting messed up running Helldorado it was just Art and I running Kane Creek Canyon to finish off the week with Mike riding shotgun.

                      airing down







                      Kane Creek Canyon doesnt have anything very difficult but its a fun trail nonetheless


                      one of many creek crossings





                      A fun climb with some good rocks









                      you can see the trail that runs alongside the mountain



                      It was a fun trail that we finished up relatively early, packed up and headed back towards Colorado.


                      until next time

                        Day 7

                        It was time for the trip to come to an end and one more trail in Colorado was a fun way to go out. I have several very scenic pictures on my phone Ill upload later from the drive from Moab to our next trail, Chinaman Gulch!

                        Road to the trailhead

                        metup with one of Mikes buddies Derek to wheel for the day

                        First named obstacle was Rock pile. We had just watched a large group of fairly stock JKs struggle forever to get through this and now it was our turn to have some fun.

                        One of my favorite pics of the trip








                        Next up was Whales tail



                        Mike wanted me to take the hardest line having confidence I can make it but being the last day and all I played it safe.


                        Getting hung up

                        I think this next area is called the chutes?










                        Views on top were amazing

                          Differenct angles but I like them all haha

                          It was a great last day of an amazing trip with great guys! 7 straight days of wheelin cant be topped.

                          Wheeling was over so we headed back to Denver where we would meetup with Mike (gspup) again and I'd be leaving my jeep to be shipped home! Hope you guys enjoyed the pics as much as I enjoyed sharing.

                              Glad you enjoyed. I still have plenty of video to edit and share. It won't be anything special just some basic go pro action to show some of the trails
