2006 - 39th Easter Jeep Safari

Sponsored by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers, Inc and the Moab Chamber of Commerce in Moab, UT


I plan to attend the 2006 Easter Jeep Safari and I hope to see you there. The trails and scenery in Moab, UT are spectacular. You owe it to yourself to get “your-ticket-punched” in Moab. Once you go, you will be back many times.

I may be jumping the gun a bit, but I wanted to get a message out to you while you where planning your 2006 and with plenty of time to take action. This year we have a bit more time than last year since Easter week is in April instead of March.

If my outlook calendar is correct Easter is April 16, 2006. Being just one day after TAX DAY you just might have an additional incentive to get your taxes in early so yu can go wheeling!

You need to get on the mailing list for the Easter Jeep Safari News Paper right away and you may want to book a hotel room if there are any left!
The Red Rock 4-Wheelers who host this event require that you send in a paper registration form cut out of the official Easter Jeep Safari News Paper. To complicate it even more, there is virtually no way to reach them other then to send a letter by the US Postal Service requesting to be put on the list. If you need more incentive to act early, they run a lottery to see who is assigned to their first, second and third trail requests. If you do not get the official registration in by the cut off date, correctly filled out, you go into the second priority and are assigned the remaining spaces!
They will not take email, fax or phone registrations.

The news paper will be issued sometime in January! The deadline for submissions is about 2 weeks after the News Paper is distributed.

There is some good news – if you attended prior events you are automatically on the list for 4-5 years.

Easter Jeep Safari is one of, if not the largest organized event in the United States for 4-Wheel Drive vehicles. The event runs for 9 days from April 8th to the 16th.
There are no restrictions as to the manufacturer of vehicles but they need to have high ground clearance and a 2 speed transfer case.
Most days they have 8 or more trails running and on “Big” Saturday” about 28 groups will depart Moab in a huge parade of 1000 vehicle or more. Some of the trails are just above 2WD. On the other extreme, there are tails that need lockers, big tires and winches.
On Thursday April 14 and Friday April 15 there will be a large vendor show. There is a raffle drawing Friday night after the Boy Scout dinner.
The cost is $50 for your first day’s trail and $25 for each day’s trail after that. You will receive a raffle ticket when you pick up your packet the first day.

Despite the fact that Moab is a small town, it has plenty of accommodations. Moab is used year run by visitors seeking mountain biking, 4-Wheeling, rafting, hiking, and photography. Both Arches National Park and Canyon lands National Park are close to Moab. This link will help with accommodations and general information:
