Durango-Moab 2020 – Back to Basics! This year we return with a “pre-event” in Durango Colorado prior to the main event in Moab Utah. We wanted to focus on a fun filled, Hummer powered, and low-cost off-road event so are cutting back a bit on costs outside of what you keep telling us you want: fun wheeling! There will be FIVE DAYS of Moab awesomeness, preceeded by THREE DAYS of Durango area awesomeness. Come to one, come to both!
The pre-event starts out in Durango Colorado where we will spend three days running Northern New Mexico trails like Grim Reaper and Secret! If you haven’t run either of these trails, you have missed out on some of the best Hummer wheeling there is. Your truck will do things you didn’t know it could! If you have been on these trails, then you probably can’t wait to get to back to them and have another go! We will also offer self-guided trails to breathtaking high-alpine passes, ghost towns and historic trails near Ouray & Telluride, Colorado. Separate registration is required for the Durango pre-event.
There will then be a one-day transition to allow time to drive between Durango and Moab. If you haven’t seen Mesa Verde National Park – it’s on the way and well worth a visit!
In Moab we start with an event dinner and trail sign up (each group is responsible for their dinner bill). This will be Sunday September 20rd. There will be no specific event hotel this year as there are several places to choose from – everything from camping sites to hotel suites with hot-tubs – whatever fits your budget!
There will be a drivers meeting prior to each trail event. Location TBA.

Some Notable Information:
- Driver’s meeting each morning at the departure point (TBA). Be fueled up and have a lunch packed each trail day. Bring extra water and snacks. Be prepared for long trail days.
- A CB for communication is required.
- Be certain that your truck is well maintained and that it is in good operational condition.
Mechanical Support is provided at all Club events
At club events the event coordinator and other club members will support any needed repairs to the best of their ability so everyone can fully participate and get home afterwards. We will work to the best of our ability to support you. Your truck must be in excellent mechanical condition due to the nature of these events. Basic hand tools and spare parts on-hand and/or parts that wear when off-roading we suggest you carry. Contact the event coordinator if you have questions about mechanical support and/or what to bring.
