What an Amazing trip. Me and my two sons (12 and 9) visited Moab for Spring Break in early March. Our hearts are full and our memory cards too! So much of what made the trip special was the "blue buddy" we rented from SW Jeep Adventures.
We wanted to be flexible in where we stayed during our week in Moab, so we opted for renting a Jeep with camper top. Little did we know that was the best decision we could have made. Our host, Emily, not only outfitted us with all the gear we needed (sleeping bags, mats, pillow, cooking supplies, headlamps, chairs, fridge, etc) but most importantly she also provided us with guidance on the best places to park our Jeep at night. We opted for free, dispersed camping sites, which were amazing. The 4x4 routes we took to get to those camping spots were breathtaking. I pulled over constantly to take photos.
Emily was great with communication before and also during our trip. She customized our gear based on what we needed and didn't need. After our flight time got changed, she went out and reserved us a camp site for the first night since we would be arriving after dark. She even looked at the forecast and threw in an extra blanket for us which turned out to be clutch! I very much appreciate her attention to detail which I might not have gotten from a larger place with a huge fleet of jeeps.
I plan on coming back with my two daughters when they're of age for such an adventure and we'll be calling Emily for sure!
PS- I'm not a huge 4x4 nerd but apparently the jeep we rented is hot stuff. We got a lot of comments from admirers and folks drooling over the camper top (Ursa Minor) and just in general at the rig. It's a handsome ride! As I head back home to drive my Subaru Outback, I may be missing blue buddy a bit! read more
