Long before the actual Ranger truck. In 1972 Ford introduced the Bronco Ranger package. A little later they even did an explorer package. My 6G is just a tribute to the Ranger package. The Ranger package had these stripes on them and the tire cover as well as a color matching houndstooth interior.
Very interesting I had no idea! Cool!Long before the actual Ranger truck. In 1972 Ford introduced the Bronco Ranger package. A little later they even did an explorer package.

I did this trail as part of my San Rafael Swell trip last summer. Fantastic drive. My daughter did most of that trail, we switched places when she was too nervous to go down the ledges along the way.

It looks like it is getting more popular. This year I saw that it is a part of the Moab Easter jeep safari. But they are running it the opposite direction from what I did. I might have to go back this summer and try it the other way.

When I did it, I ended around Swasey cabin. A couple scrapes, but nothing too bad on an overloaded rear suspension stock wildtrak.
If you take a group, I'd be interested in going.
That said, how difficult is the section from essentially the eagle canyon rest stop to the swasey cabin? My wife is anti hard trails and anti off-roading in general but loves the swell and hiking. Ie if the off-roading gets us to place with interesting hikes/sights off-roading is ok. So If that section is relatively mild she might like it since it looks like there is some good site seeing and local hiking and camping opportunities in the area.
If you go south under the I-70 bridge, there are some steps down that require some good tire placement, but nothing too bad. My daughter didn’t have her permit yet and she got through it without much fuss.
Going the opposite direction might actually be a little easier.
on the other end of the swell there’s tons of hikes in the slot canyon by goblin valley.
I’d love to get out there again, but to spend a few days out there you need extra fuel. I barely made it back to a fuel station with single digits to empty using 4.5 gallons extra. I’d take twice as much with me if I were to do that again.

Eagle canyon is pretty mellow. But that being said. My wife does not like off road either. And she would not have liked the drive but would have loved the scenery. The racetrack part she would have been miserable. There are lots of hiking trails for sure. And as mentioned, bring extra gas if you are staying longer then 2 days and doing driving each day, especially if you are in a 2 door.
I’d also be interested in joining a group trip out there

Depending on when, I’d be down.

Ok so who is going to be in charge of putting this trip together? How many from Utah? And how many from states
I’m in Vegas. A little bit of a drive for me to get there too. Just about 3 hours to the 70 junction.

Do people want to camp? Meet up on a Friday Night? Do the trail on Saturday and then have Sunday to drive home? Or are people more into just meeting up at the trail head on a Saturday or Sunday, doing the trail and heading home the same day?
