The little red lines are where I walked and the dots are where I crawled.

Thanks for this, my boy and I killed 3-4 hours there today. Lots of fun rocks, but the mosquitos were starting to get bad. Was so nice to be able to be in the shade too.

Heritage park in Clearfield has some good spots to mess around on also, but no shade.

Antelope Island
GPS:
Map: Antelope Island, Davis, UT - Google Maps

Egg island overlook is where my son and I went. Lots and lots of rock, good for comp, scale, and even some good areas for short course.

Rock is a quartzite similar to Big cottonwood canyon. Awesome traction. Watch out for snakes.

I forgot a camera, sorry, will get pics next time I go out.

No shade!

I live right by the island, and would be happy to go out there anytime. Hit me up.

Not as often as I would like. It's probably been a year sense I've been. I've been in the area with other hobbies, but not to the geyser with the RC's

Durrty,
I live in the area and could show you some places up there when the snow melts if you would like to meet up. Always looking for new people to crawl with.

I'm in Price for a week visiting friends.
Thanks for this thread guys!
Brought 4 rigs out to get on some rocks.

Going to try to hit Crystal Spring in Green River tomorrow afternoon I think if we can't make it to Arches NP.

Hey guys, if I was to drive 1500 miles to Utah, what are the most epic crawl spots I would want to hit?

Utah is big and some of the great spots are in different areas and corners of the state ...like 3-5 hours apart depending on where you are and where you're headed.

That being said, Pioneer park in St. George has to be one of the greatest places on the planet to crawl. This is a sandstone area with obstacles and options non-stop as apposed to a trail area. There are other great spots around St. George as well as trails; but, this crawl spot is unreal.

St. George is 13 miles from the border of Arizona in the Southwest corner of the state.

About an hour north on I-15, you'll find a spot in Cedar City called 3 Peaks. also a great spot. rock outcrops litter the area. This is also a play spot with lines and obstacles more than a trail.

4-5 hours east across the state you'll end up in Moab. Moab is a mecca for 1:1 jeeping and off roading along with many other outdoor activities. Moab is home to Arches and Canyonlands national parks and the terrain is all sandstone. There are hundreds of miles of marked legitimate 4X4 trails in Moab aside from biking and hiking trails. Moab rim is one of my favorites. The trail head is located like 5 minutes from town. It is one of my favorite trails for hiking with my RC.

Just like St. George, there are other spots around Moab. Almost any of the Jeep trails on Sandstone would be fun for RC crawling. You could spend a week here and not get bored.

Salt Lake City is north. About an hour out of the city there is a spot called Little Moab. This is another play area with outcrops and obstacles more than a trail.

Unlike most large cities, Salt Lake literally sits right against the foothills of large mountains. You can be on a trail in 10 minutes. There are countless hiking trails along the Wasatch Front (mountain range running along the East side of the city) that are awesome to hike and drive RC.

If you are serious about coming out, someone can provide more details and info about these spots. If you check out my Bomber or SCX10 II thread you will find pictures and trip reports of a few of these areas.

Outstanding info, thanks!
I am talking with a buddy about going out your direction this summer. He had mentioned Moab but we haven't discussed it in detail yet.

Thanks for posting this! We're heading out there end of the month and I really wanted to take the trucks but I'm paranoid about getting harrassed by Ranger Rick in nat'l parks...was hoping I could find some local flavor trailing/crawling input. We're planning on hitting Bryce and Zion but it looks like we'll be going a bit further SW for Pioneer Park to break the rigs out.

I had zero problems at Arches National Park.
The rules state no flying RC equipment and stay on hard rock when going off trail.

Cool, thanks. Nice that they stipulate aircraft there. Here they whine about "motorized vehicles" <smh>
