We spent Thanksgiving exploring central Utah doing some hiking and offroading. We first stopped at Goblin Valley state park to hike around the fun hoodoo formations, then took wild horse road/factory butte road past little wild horse slot canyon until it meets highway 24 again. The road was mostly dry except near the muddy creek crossing where there was a couple hundred yards of slimy mud, probably as a result of some heavy rains a few weeks ago. Luckily we made it through and it to highway 24.
We stopped by swing arm city and I made a couple passes on the iconic hill; driving up it feels much more dramatic inside the vehicle than outside! We stayed in a little cabin by Torrey for a couple nights and were able to charge from a 50 amp RV plug, easily charging to full overnight.
The next day we took hell's backbone road to Escalante. The road had a decent amount of snow at higher elevations so it was muddy/soupy, but great views. We checked out the Escalante petrified forest state park and hiked upper calf creek falls on the way back to Torrey.
On the last day we hiked up to Hickman Bridge and drove the cathedral valley loop, which is about 60 miles of dirt, with the western side of the loop pretty rough and slow going. We were able to make it back to Grand Junction without charging, with 7% left.
