Dog and I went for a quick overnight trip to Escalante area for some hiking and trying camp mode in our R1S dual max pack.

St George to Escalante and back (via hwy 9 through Zion) plus a little bit of hole in the rock road.

414 miles, 2.48 mi/kwh - doing basically the speed limit.

Stayed @ OfLand (formerly Yonder) https://www.ofland.com/yonder. Had nice sites with 50 amp/14-50 connectors where I charged all night.

Camp mode was good though I didn’t figure out that standard power mode would turn off HVAC after a while. Also a pain to reach over the front seats to press the brake pedal to wake the display to change settings. Works fine in always on mode but I didn’t figure that out for a while. Nice and warm despite being 27 degrees and windy in the am. I am old so my 4 trips to the WC during the night were annoying. Wife and are heading back in a week to do Death Hollow back pack and thinking about returning to OfLand vs a hotel to charge the first before the backpack.

Two nice hikes (Willis creek canyon near Cannonville) and Big horn canyon (sandy hike with multiple sections of shallow slots) a short way down Hole in the rock road.

Love the writeup, thanks! The real world range on the dual/max is cool.

Fun trip! I have spent lots of time around Escalante and hiked many of the slot canyons down Hole in the Rock, though I haven't been in a few years. I think there is a hotel in town with level 2 chargers now, it's on my list to go back!

Yep - Canyon country has 3 chargers (I think) and entrada escalante has one (tesla). The OfLand has modern cabins that look very nice/lux but I am not sure they have 14-50 but I might call and ask next time I go.
