Elephant Hill in Cherokee with trailer

[gornoman]

I have driven this trail 5 times now, and I gotta say, towing a trailer on this route is QUITE the accomplishment. How far in did you go?

@gornoman

Thanks, We went back about ten miles or so, there is a campground in there somewhere. We went over to the confluence overlook, and also made a few trips through the stairs before hitting Moab proper.

[JohnXJ]

Only for a week !

[monsterkid9]

is that moab and is that a sport also wats in the trailer, campeing stuff.........

[JohnXJ]

yep, just a little south of Moab in Canyonlands park. The trailer was full of camping gear, food, tools, etc.  Weighed about 1k lbs full. I was the pack mule for a group of 15 people for a week long trip.

How did you manage the sharp turn out of the chute on the back side? Then the portion after the chute that you reverse down?

[JohnXJ]

I never reversed, just turn as sharp as I could and forced it around the corners. This one was the first, so I didn't go as wide as I should have, the rest of the turns were easier (practice makes perfect).

Nice jeep, btw.

[p2y2r7o]

Quite possibly the funniest conversation ever. Haha...I understand the situation John!

[JohnXJ]

Thanks. I enjoyed it :D

when u are at the bottom of that hill before u go up that little hill just hitch the back on to the jeep

[JohnXJ]

I guess you had to be there.

[andizzzy]

well ya put it back on when u get back on level ground

[JohnXJ]

Yeah, i unerstand that...so how do i get it to level ground...drag it up the hill with my hands? The only way that trailer will move up the hill is hitched to the Jeep.

[JohnXJ]

Trailer was full of over a week supply of food and camp gear for 12 people. Tipped the scales at 1200 pounds.

[BoeingXtremes]

[andizzzy]

[JohnXJ]

[JohnXJ]
