Couple of photos from our trip so far. We left Colorado at 4am this morning and made it into Page by 3pm. Girlfriend took a couple of photos for me while I was driving.

Drove through Alamosa and visited Adams State. Played football here for 4 years, so it was great to see the stadium again. A lot of good memories from that place.

I don't. We have tried looking for some near Grand Canyon as that is where we are headed next. If anyone knows of any trails please let me know!

I haven't been on anything up there, but there are some trails around the north rim, they are listed in the Charles Wells Arizona trail guide.

If you can get your hands on one quick enough, it looks like there's some scenic trails to run up there. Good luck and enjoy your trip!

By the way, your pics of Horseshoe Bend are great! I was there for the first time in November, it was awesome, sure made me feel small!

Thanks! I will check that out tonight. The only downfall has been how many people are out here, but it makes sense because most people are on Christmas break. We just arrived at our hotel near South Rim. Going to get out and do some exploring tomorrow. We could not believe how big Horseshoe Bend was. Pictures do not do it justice!

Might check your boot on your front driveshaft. You had hardly in clearance there on flat ground, so if you're flexing it out, you may have torn that. Just need to get a new DS sooner rather than later :)

Oh it ripped trust me lol. I looked right when we left. Hopefully order one when I get back. I heard that trail jeeps has their own driveshafts? Will most likely do the Adams shaft though.

They have a local shop that makes their driveshafts to order, at least for some of the lifts they do. Benefits would be you get to support a local business, less wait time because you can just go pick it up, and if something goes wrong with it, you don't ship it in. You drive over and talk about it. Probably can't go wrong either way though.

Arrived in the Grand Canyon towards sunset yesterday and snapped a few pictures.

Woke up this morning to snowfall and a heavy fog that filled the Grand Canyon. At this point we decided to head to Moab since it was half way to home and we have been wanting to go there. We just arrived in Moab and will be heading out in the morning to do a trail. Not sure on which trail yet, since we will most likely be alone and don't have a winch. Any input on a good trail to do would be greatly appreciated!
