Poor Decision Leaves Group Battling to Escape the Mountain

Our scenic adventure quickly turned to a frozen nightmare as we struggled to take the easy way out on a remote trail in Moab Utah. We spent the night at Elephant Hill Park and in the morning we decided to take the long and scenic Overland route in order to avoid any potential issues with @WillometMotorFab Jeep Wagoneer. Unfortunately this plan backfired as we gained elevation and encountered heavy snow. The crew aired down as low as our tires would allow us and tried to push through. @DirtLifestyle and @KrokemOutdoors took turns trail blazing in their jeeps as the @MarlinCrawlerMedia Toyota Tacoma and Toyota four Runner as well as @TaylorGibleroffroad Jeep Gladiator pulled the rickety Wagoneer through some of the worst snow conditions I have ever encountered. After 20 hours we were practically out of fuel as daylight faded away. We emptied the last drops of fuel from our rotopax into our trucks and the mad rush to rescue members of our group before freezing temps set in began as we battled exhaustion and the elements to escape the mountain and find fuel for the Wagoneer. #offroad #overlanding #jeepgladiator
