Spring in Moab is absolutely something special. I recently had the chance to attend the 59th annual Easter Jeep Safari from April 12-20, and it was an adventure I’ll never forget. Driving the legendary Hell’s Revenge trail in my Gladiator Rubicon was both thrilling and challenging—it really pushed my off-roading skills to the limit.
One of the highlights was seeing several Jeep concept vehicles tackling the dirt alongside us. It’s inspiring to watch the innovations and designs that Jeep is experimenting with firsthand. The sheer number of Jeeps in Moab was incredible; there were hundreds of us, all passionate about our rigs and the trails. It really felt like a massive Jeep family gathering.
The timing couldn’t have been better either. Spring brought higher temperatures, vibrant budding flowers, and the excitement of playoff basketball, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I had no idea until recently how much of an influx of Jeeps descends on Moab every April for the Safari. The town is crawling with enthusiasts, vendors, and activities for nine days straight.
From navigating tough trails to connecting with fellow Jeep lovers, there are so many lessons to take away from this event. I’m excited to share the top five things I learned from off-roading in Moab with both the Wrangler and Gladiator. Whether you’re a seasoned off-roader or just curious about what makes Jeep culture so vibrant, these insights might help you prepare for your next adventure.
Looking forward to hearing about everyone’s experiences and tips as well!
