I am just back from Moab. I left with only 158km on the odometer. I was in town during the week before Easter Jeep Safari. We left after one week due to an emergency at home, shortening the trip by a full 4 weeks... Will go back during this fall, hopefully.

So, I drove from Montreal (Canada) to Moab on interstates, did some trails, and back home with mix of highway and interstate. Two adults on-board, loaded with luggage, recovery, and more, running on BFG KO2 275/70-R17 E load on stock rims, spare is also KO2.

Here my fuel consumption (mi/USG). Displayed is from onboard computer, corrected takes in account the tire size difference, calculated is from real fuel volume.

Toward Moab : displayed 17.7, corrected 18.0, calculated 18.7
Around Moab: displayed 15.7, corrected 15.9, calculated 15.9
Leaving Moab: displayed 18.4, corrected 18.7, calculated 19.1


We were able to get a short glimpse of the Safari Madness and time to do some easy or moderate trails since the 4R is still stock, except for KO2 tires:

Canyonlands NP White Rim Road, from Shafer Switchback to Monument Basin and back;



Canyonlands NP Lathrop Canyon to the Colorado River. This trail gave me some opportunity to test some gadgets in the deep sand...;



Before going down into Long Canyon, there is a superb view of the LaSal Mountains and Behind the Rocks.



The classic Long Canyon Road;



Bull Canyon to Gemini Bridge trailhead;



Onion Creek Road;



We also did Spring Canyon, Arches NP Salt Valley Road, and some hiking trails.
