Get ready for an unforgettable off-road adventure with Bestoff-road.com as we conquer the rugged trails of Browns Peak near Indianola, Utah! This epic ride will take place on May 25-26, 2025, offering a unique opportunity to experience breathtaking landscapes, challenging terrain, and a night of camaraderie under the stars. There will be an option to head back down the trail after dinner and smore's if camping isn't your thing. Space is limited, so don't wait—secure your spot today!

The route up Browns Peak features a diverse mix of terrain, making it perfect for 4x4 enthusiasts seeking a challenge. You’ll navigate rocky bolder and loose dirt/rock inclines, dirt-packed switchbacks, and serene meadows with panoramic views of Utah’s Wasatch Range. Along the way, you’ll encounter dramatic ridgelines and dense juniper forests, all while testing your vehicle’s capabilities. This ride is designed for intermediate to advanced drivers, but the reward at the summit—a stunning view of the surrounding valleys—is well worth it. The road is semi maintained but grooves can be deep. Also there is much scrub oak along the way so rocky mountain pinstriping is possible/likely.

Adding a touch of history to the adventure, this area was once frequented by early settlers and livestock herders moving through the region. Indianola itself has deep roots as a Native American hub and later as a pioneer settlement. Our evening campout on May 26 will offer the perfect chance to swap trail stories and enjoy the rustic charm of the area. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind off-road event! A signup sheet is attached—act fast before spots fill up!
