The GF and I are itching to get out of the snow and take a road/camping trip. So were ditching the kids and headed to Goblin Valley March 18-21 to explore some old mining trails that lead to an old settlement and an arch. The trails are Temple Mountain, Reds Canyon and Swasey's Cabin. If any of you are in the area or want to join us we would love to meet new friends and have some company. :cheers:

Your mini trip looks great! I would be interested if you were venturing further south.

I visited Goblin Valley State Park back in November. It was cold and windy so I didn't stay long. Lots of places to camp off the road into the park as well as north of the park in the San Rafael Swell area. Cool area. :rocker:

A short trail off the access road with camping area at the dead end

You should hit up Tain on the Utah forum. He lives pretty close to the swell, and knows the area well. I'm sure he'd be more than happy to go play.:cheers:

I wouldn't mine joining with you, but I will be down in that area (Hole in the Rock Trail) a couple weeks after that...then a couple weeks after that is Cruise Moab....

Access road? I-24? You wouldn't happen to have the lat and long would you? I've got a friend and his wife following me down so were probably going to keep it pretty mellow, thinking Temple Mountain Trail.

Thanks Brother, I'll jump over there real quick. Utah Cruisers right?

Dude, I'd love to wheel in AZ. Maybe later this fall when the heat mellows out. :cowfrown:

That sucks man, I'd love to have you join us. Everytime I'm up visiting my girlfriend I see your rig and tell myself I need to hit you up. Oh well, I've got a bunch of friends that want to do the Transcontinental this summer and camp over night so you'll have to join us for that.

What I meant by "access road" is Goblin Valley Road which is off of Temple Mt. Rd. There are places along there (like in my pic) as well as just a few miles north of Goblin Valley Rd on Temple (which meets I-24).

Grab a Utah Gazetteer atlas for lots of detail.
