7 Mile is my wife’s favorite trail. We’ve done it every time we go to Moab. Monitor and Merrimack are awesome. And we always do lunch at the Uranium Arch. It’s a 7 hr trail if you keep going to Wipeout Hill.

I go to Moab a couple of times a year. 7Mile Rim is my favorite trail.

I agree Utah is extremely underrated. I have been all over the west and lived in Montana for a while and though it’s beautiful, I’ve not seen anything that compares with the state of Utah. It’s breathtaking.

Did some of that trial as it is part of the Backwards Bill Trail. We saw the Jeep folks setup there for EJS near Whipout Hill - now that is an obstacle that has high scare factor. Great to see both of you out together and when my wife comes with me it is awesome like this year at EJS. If Regina keeps taking her Jeep on these harder trails I think the back bumper needs upgrading or it is going to get pummeled coming off ledges etc.

Hi, never did the Seven Mile Rim but after riding along with I would definitely put this on my bucket list. My wife and I did our first Moab trip, with friends and family, in 2012. Then back in 2015, 2016 and 2018. For us Moab is a special place. Thank you for the video! Stay safe out there.

Took my wife and her new JL to Moab a couple years ago. Went to Fins and Things and I made her drive while helped guide her. She had never driven off road before. Scared herself a couple times but she did great. We'll be back and I'll look to do this trail as well.

Regena reassures us that it is okay to do this, I can't explain it. Thank you!!!! P.S. Can we get a gathering with Regena and Cara (Ozark Overlanding)???

I think I could of done that one in my Ranger, just challenging enough! Really enjoyed the ride along, incredible views!!

I’ve done 7 Mile twice in a rental Jeep. Great views indeed at the canyon rim. Both times just a few rigs out there. Almost Had the place to ourselves. Uranium arch and the steep crawl in/ out make quite the pucker factor. The off camber turns can be a bit scary. Many people never heard of it, glad to see it getting some love.

so cool i wish we had the land mass and different terrain like this in New Zealand

I can only dream of going on back country trails as having a Jeep or any 4x4 is too expensive for my budget. So I sit here and dream of going to the back country, especially Moab Utah. Glad to see your wife is all in and learning to drive those hard trails with you as her teacher. I'd want to learn from you as well. Great work.

Looked like great fun! My wife joined me in the Ozarks a week ago - she drove solo in her JLUR 4xe the whole trail. She had so much fun and gained so much confidence! It’s great when she joins me on adventures. I may hit Moab this fall - you’ve given me a new trail to target (was thinking Poison Spider - but that rim trail looks way better).

So jealous, bro! Jim from Temecula! My brother and I plan on attending next year for sure! Awesome to see you two having a blast! Hope to see ya on the trail soon.

This was an enjoyable video! Great scenery. Great narration. Great editing (I dare say outstanding!). Seeing Regena's expressions as she went down that obstacle. Being able to express what she was feeling while doing it was fun, exciting, and SO relatable! Great job on conquering that (and Top of the World the day before!). I'm sure her confidence has skyrocketed when it comes to those obstacles. But probably what hurt most was saying that Brad was probably right about lift and tires. LOL Either way, please keep these videos coming! We visited Moab last year for the first time after hiking Rim 2 Rim in Grand Canyon. We didn't have our Jeep, so we went with Epic 4x4 Adventures and drove a Kawasaki side by side. It was a blast, so seeing and talking about the trails we did brought back LOTS of fond memories from our trip last year! Thank you for all you both do! I have to admit, my wife and I love watching the adventures you get to do together as it provides different perspectives. But all these adventure videos are SO fun to watch!

I’m definitely going to try that trail!

Looks like a lot of fun!

Hey brad! I stopped by said hi at overland expo in colorado last year. Happy to see you two do this trail! I took my wife, and her friend and husband on it for Thanksgiving couple years ago...we found it to be a fantastic ride like you two! However, when i read your title, I thought for sure you were going to be talking about the "Tippy Spot" an off camber (maybe 24/26 degrees?) section just after burnt toast (the section you drive through two rocks) we were so scared..we backed out. I am on 37"s. 2.5" lift in a JT and had a tent on top, the length of the JT helps, but being off camber and having turn and be so top heavy, it was scariest ive done. You two do that part or drive around? thanks!

It was an out and back, at least the way we did it, and the time we took to do the trail doesn't equate to the way most people will do it...we were filming so it took as a lot longer than it would take the average person. And the shelf road was not too bad, just at the beginning and nothing crazy. Brad and I both hate shelf roads too, so I get it!

About WHY the Merrimack and the Monitor. There is a point on the trail you can stand between them both. The shape of the rocks where they face each other look like the bows of two ships. Yes, it does take a little imagination, but you can definitely see them as ships heading your way.

you missed so much on that trail, like you said the arch, then there is a cave to walk through and there is a cool sand dune to play on..

If someone ends up scared but you are able to drive out under your own steam at the end of the day, I will call that a successful adventure!

I've only been able to attend one EJS, and that was in 2015. I did 4 different trails in my 2000 XJ, and Seven Mile Rim was definitely my favorite.
