📍 Meet-Up Moab, UT off-road meet-up - Sept. 24 - 27, 2026 - Attendees: Post your favorite photos and share highlights / favorite memories

Added to Calendar: 09-24-26

Meet-Up📍
Updated attendee list. If you're still on the fence, I suggest booking your accommodations sooner rather than later. If you're not finding anything available that meets your needs at the Moab RV resort, reach out if you need alternative recommendations as there are a couple of other sites that are similar to what we booked.
Hey Mike - my buddy @El capitán finally got around to registering on the forum! 🙄 You can add him to slot #18 I was holding. The Florida trucks are rolling to MOAB!! 😎

Feel free to give him a hard time for taking so long!!
 
You can add me as confirmed to be there... if the good Lord is willing and the creek doesn't rise, that is.
I have reservations at the Moab RV park.

Done! We'll find a way to haze him. Maybe we can get the Jeep guys there to give him a lot of ducks.
 
Here are some preview pics for the upcoming Moab trip on Potash and Schaefer Trails

I did get my Utah side by side license… Turns out just answer “I’m not an idiot” on the test.
 
Has anyone been over Elwphant Rock lately? I want to take my parents to the Needles but I don’t want to scare them.
 
As we get closer to finalizing the details for the Moab trip, I need to get a headcount on a few things. Please take a minute to fill out this quick survey so I can plan accordingly.

SURVEY LINK

The survey covers three things:

1. Accommodations I want to confirm where everyone is staying. If you're at the Moab RV & Glamping Resort with the group, let me know what type of accommodation you booked (RV site, cabin, glamping tent, etc.). If you're staying elsewhere, that's fine too—just let me know so I can keep track of who's where and coordinate meetup times in the mornings.

2. Meals As mentioned in an earlier post, there are no on-site restaurants at the resort. With 25 trucks confirmed and many of you traveling with a spouse, partner, or family, we're realistically looking at 40–60 people for any group dinner. Finding a restaurant in Moab that can seat that many without booking it as a private banquet—complete with deposits and minimum spend requirements—is going to be tough.

My recommendation is that everyone plan to handle meals on your own. For those staying at the resort, that means either bringing food and a grill/camp stove to cook on-site, or ordering takeout and delivery from local restaurants. The resort has picnic tables, grills at some sites, and common areas where we can hang out together even if we're not eating the same thing. This approach keeps things flexible and economical, and honestly, some of the best meetup memories happen sitting around camp anyway.

There are some options we can consider reaching out to see if they can accommodate our group or if we would need to split up into sub-groups and go to 2 or 3 different restaurants each evening:
  • Moab Brewery - Large Brewery and Restaurant, Busy and Popular Place Tripadvisor with plenty of seating throughout the very spacious concrete dining area inside. Good for groups, takes reservations.
  • Sunset Grill - All walk-ins welcome, any size party! We only accept reservations for parties of 6 people or more or for larger groups or special events or circumstances. Located in a former uranium king's mansion overlooking town. Offers a free shuttle from any Moab motel or RV park.
  • The Blu Pig - Blues, brews, and BBQ. Live music some nights. Outdoor seating available. 811 S Main St. Good casual option for a group wanting BBQ and beer.
  • Spitfire Smokehouse BBQ + TAPS - Another BBQ option. 2 S 100 West. Sunday–Thursday 11am–9pm.
  • Moab Food Truck Park - This food truck park is in the heart of Moab and consists of several acres of various private and independent food trucks... numerous picnic tables under a large tent like covering. Could work well for a large group since everyone can get different food and sit together.
For lunches on the trail, plan to pack a cooler—we'll be doing picnic-style stops.

3. T-Shirts I'm looking into getting shirts made for the trip. If there's enough interest, I'll put together a design and get pricing. Let me know if you'd want one and what size you'd need.

Please complete the survey by Friday, May 1, 2025.

Question 4 should have a "With hands or utensils" option 🤪:

When we’ve done group meals before, Zax was able to accommodate us in their upstairs seating area. We notified them ahead of time there’d be about 50 of us. Parking everyone close may be an issue due to the larger vehicles but throwing it out as an option. Decent food, great drinks.


Sunset grill is a great experience but my group has always thought the food was so-so.
 
Branding Iron is always good on the south side of town. It’s not small, probably could seat close to 60 on the patio.

Zax is great and they have the parking lot on the creek down the street.

Fiesta Gullarda (sp??) across from the diner has a decent private room but i’m guessing it’s 20-30 people.

I’ve never noticed that they had a patio.

Love their fry bread though.
 
If anyone goes to Moab Brew, be warned… DON’T use a credit card. Cash only.

unless there are 2 places
Moab Brewery?????
and another i couldn't find
Moab Brew???????

Moab Brewery:
website says they take credit.

called and asked, they replied yes like, confused by a stupid question.

?????
why do you say "DON'T use a credit card. Cash only"???

trouble skimming card #s?
or something else?
just mistaken?
old news, when they were 1st opening?
or, just the system was down when you were there?

looks like a place we could all enjoy hangin at
 
The fry bread is amazing. Patio is on the east side so a decent view and not too much highway noise from 191. The new Dewey Bridge restaurant is pretty good and pretty good sized. It's in Mcstiffs plaza (replacing the old McStiff's restaurant.)

There always seems to be plenty of seating at the steakhouse at the Hoodoo hotel, but it's pricey. (Claims to be the best steakhouse in SE Utah, which it quite possibly is the only one.) It's called Josie Wyatt's.
