Just returned to South Florida from Moab Utah. What a great experience! Arrived at night at the Red Cliff's Lodge (Off Rodeo Headquarters). Woke up in the morning to horses grazing out the back window and breakfast overlooking the Colorado River. Spectacular rock formations in every direction.
At the Base Camp we (10 groups) were instructed on the history of the Bronco and it's features, given SWAG bags with Bronco embossed YETI water bottles and carabiners and sent as a group to the trail head. There were guides that rode in the lead Broncos of each of the two groups and walkie talkies in each of the others for instruction.
Eight Broncos were equipped with Sasquatch and the other two were non Sasquatch Badlands and all were four door.
At the first two or three features we got out of the Broncos and were given instructions about how to read the terrain but for most of the rest of the day we followed the Bronco in front.
They showed us how to climb without lockers and then how and when to engage the "Hero" switches as well as a demonstration on what disengaging the sway bar would do. One section had each Bronco going downhill while lifting each of the four wheels several feet in the air while the rest of the group applauded each bounce (the off-road version of low riding).
Most of the ride was slow trail crawling but there were several miles of high speed manuvers which were a blast!
The scenery was absolutely amazing with formations and views of snow covered mountains. At one point we got to explore a cave in the rocks
After the 8 hour ride was finished we were given a dinner in the Red Cliff's Lodge restaurant with our choice of their full menu. It was fun discussing the day and Bronco order waits with everyone at dinner (of the 10, only 2 of us had received them so far).
If you are thinking about doing this, do not hesitate. It was the best off-road experience I have ever had
