About This Video

In this video I’m back out on the Rimrocker Trail starting in Montrose, finishing a goal I’ve had for a while: running Rimrocker end-to-end, and using it as my favorite way to roll into Moab without just burning pavement. Last time I was here it was shut down because of a forest fire, but it’s open now—so I pointed the Jeep (Mad Max) down the road, chased warmer temps, and traded cold high-elevation camping for a medium-elevation reset. Even when parts of Rimrocker are graded gravel, I’ll take it over asphalt any day, and once it turns into two-track and rougher sections, it starts feeling like “real” overlanding again. I hit spots like Iron Springs Campground (fee area, good facilities if you need a late start stopover), passed a bunch of dispersed camping, dealt with the reality of small-town fuel (Nucla pumps covered—had to go a few miles to another station), and did some night wheeling to land on a ledge camp above the ballpark. That camp turned into a legit remote-work office with a view—exactly why I love overland remote work. Rimrocker isn’t about hardcore rock crawling; it’s trail therapy. It’s the commute to Moab that actually gets your mind straight, slows time down, and reminds you why the “road less traveled” is the whole point.
