The beauty of being part of an off-roading community is that you get to enjoy organized off-roading events. Other than the hugely popular Easter Jeep Safari organized by Red Rock 4 Wheelers and held in Moab, other similar events bring off-roading enthusiasts together.
One such event is the Hump N’ Bump. This is an annual 4X4 off-roading event put on by the Vegas Valley 4 Wheelers. Those participating get to try out different trails in the Logandale trail area as well as the Valley of Fire recreation area. This happens in Nevada.

Many people associate off-roading with driving down rough terrain and trying to conquer some tough obstacles. Who can blame them? Pitting your custom-made rig against obstacles, rock crawling, and driving through rugged terrain is part of the fun of off-roading. But sometimes you need a break from the adrenaline rush and the crowds and that’s where the areas around St. George come in.

One of the reasons we love living in St. George is that the area is steeped in history. Being one of the places some of the early pioneers settled, this area has lots of historic buildings and ghost towns waiting to be explored. Going on such historic trail runs makes a nice change from rock crawling and trying to conquer obstacles in the usual popular trails in Southern Utah.
