The morning after we ran Hell's Revenge and Fins & Things, we woke up super early and drove just south of Moab to Area BFE. Area BFE is a privately owned rock crawling park of 320 acres that is full of insanely difficult rock crawling trails that punch you in the face with super glassy rock, large boulder climbs and monstrous ledges. Most of these trails are best suited for very well built rigs and buggies piloted by experienced drivers. These trails are way too big for our overlanding Jeeps with 35" tires and roof top tents. We arrived at Area BFE and met with Corey who told us that the park was still officially closed for a little while longer, but he graciously let us wheel and score a couple gems: Minor Threat and Green Day trails, which are the easiest trails in the park. I kept the footage fully raw without music so that you can hear the metal scraping the rock, the tires slip and then gain traction, and the engines rev. Think of it as those silly sound videos that everyone makes and watches. Soon after we aired down our tires we entered into a day long shred session with the park all to ourselves. This was a much needed reprieve from the crowded Moab area trails the day before packed with rigs and loud side by sides. There was no wind and the silence with the engines off was peaceful and therapeutic.

I always used to love running minor threat up to Green Day for night runs!

It’s cool but we wanted to run all the hard trails out there! And the hard obstacles. Man I got to get rid of my JK and go to plan B
WOW what a trail! Geoff you did amazing and Cameron sure nailed it on that tough obstacle in the Gladiator...great spotting! Cameron has become a rock star in that Gladiator. Fantastic footage and editing Geoff! I can tell you spent some time on this one. What a great trail. It should be a Badge of Honor Trail!

Thanks John! It is a fun little trail. It’s short but took us a while. Funny thing, so Camron does rock out the Gladiator but he traded it in today for a pickup to tow the LJ he is building. Thanks for the compliments buddy! I think you will like the Green Day trail video coming up next 👍🏻
That's a burly trail ! 💪 Looked like a super fun day !!

Thanks Tom! 👍🏻
Excellent video, brother! Haven’t heard too much about BFE. Man that initial obstacle was pretty insane. Love the control you two had the entire time! Top level driving right there! Stoked to see the Gladiator out there tackling a lot of it too. I can watch JT footage all day haha!

Thanks buddy! Area BFE is awesome but the rest of the trails are way harder than this! It’s kind of crazy. Thanks for the kind words! I’ve got one more video coming out with Camron’s gladiator but that will be it because he sold it yesterday! He’s building an LJ that he just bought! Thanks for watching! - Geoff
