Link to Porcupine Rim (the few hundred yards we went before turning back) and Sand Flats Rec Area views.

Yeah there's no way that's meant to be a switchback any more for anything not low and small like an atv..hmm..go figure.. :/
People better get off their butts and haul out to Moab next year, we'll be seeing more of this. We saw 20x more atvs and rhinos then even baby jeeps. In fact, I'd say we passed less than 10 actual jeeps in three days on the trail.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Hhhhhhmmmmmmm - just googled porcupine rim trail thinking I'd find some images or vids. Every single link on the first search result page was for mountain biking. Still searching......
And pretty much got nothing. Mostly mountain biking the trail. Looks like it is an in and out trail altho there is a bypass or two back out to Sand Flats Rd. You can drive about 11 miles and it turns into bike single track. Found one vid from 06 coming down the ledges, but not the decent around the switchback.Last edited by Jeepstress; 04-18-2011, 02:19 PM.Krista - High Priestess of Our Lady of Eternal Combustion77 401 Wag "Phoebe" ~ 77 401 J20 "Artemis" ~ 76 401 SOA Wag "Luna"The worst thing about rolling my jeep.....is trying to lick the paper...

I knew I remember being on the trail, that is the year I broke the J20 and rode with Michael.
