About the event
Please join us for an epic weekend overlanding adventure in Dixie National Forest. We'll be meeting in Cedar City, Utah and traveling up into the mountains on 2nd Left Hand Canyon, then traversing across numerous trails within this beautiful region of southern Utah. We'll see towering red rock spires, two caves, flowing creeks and the spring flowers covering the mountains. We will be primitive camping for one night (Saturday) then continuing on more trails the next morning. I have linked several trails you can expect to see on these two days. This route is for all stock type 4x4's with high clearance.

If possible, bring extra fuel. If needed, we can refuel in Duck Creek Village on day 2. But expect long Lines and it's expensive up there.
