For its eighth year now, Skyjacker Suspension held its annual trail ride for customers and industry friends at the 2011 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. This year, the ride took Jeepers and off-roaders on the scenic Kane Creek Canyon Trail (check out the 2010 ride here). The trail crosses back and forth over the creek dozens of times on the trail, and recent rain made sure there was water flowing in the creek but not so much that the creek became impassible (which can happen during heavy rain).

Nearly 30 vehicles took part in the ride on Kane Creek Trail. The trail is very scenic and picturesque, as the path not veers through the giant red rock canyons. The creek is a nice changeup for the typically dry and arid Moab terrain, and it also keeps the plants and trees on the trail fresh and green.

Although the first half of the trail is more scenic than challenging, the end of the trail provides some challenge. The is a rock shelf road that raises the trail up through the canyon, it features stepped rock shelves that can offer a bit of challenger depending upon the vehicle’s setup. Nearly 30 vehicles took part in the ride, and there were no major issues or part breakage to report – always a good sign on a trail ride. It was a great day of riding with plenty of sunshine and nothing more than a drizzle in the morning. We’re already looking forward to next year’s ride.
