I've read all the threads on other sites moreover all the maps I can scrounge from the 'net and am wondering now if White Wash is guide or GPS-track mandatory for 1st timers there.
In any event, my son and I along with two others are going either April 6, 7 or 8th. We're camping in Green River; two of the days we are doing San Rafael Swell north and south (a repeat for us) and some SE Moab trails (just to be done with them).
I have some waypoints and directions around the wash; Dead Cow, etc. though the resolution is too coarse to inspire confidence for first timers like us let alone me willing to bank a day on getting lost or off course. Moab and the Swell areas are well mapped yet White Wash eludes my old skool-mapping/trail-finding skills. There is hope as my son and another have bought GPS devices just for this trip and beyond. Is this all we need? I don't want to invite the world as my last two yearly trips to Utah were dampened my an ever increasing group and the associated logistics.
I see the GPS info out of the Super 8. Is that still valid? I'm thinking it'd be better to drive to the wash on Ranch Road.
My son and I have 70-mile+ range before reserve. One in our group has Gas Gas (big tank but guzzler) and the other a new Husaberg 390 with unknown consumption. Therefore the loop(s) ought to be restricted to 50 miles max. We are reasonable novice/intermediate, to expert (not me!) ex-enduro types, and like single track and box canyons but want to do White Wash for something different than the other two. Thanks.
So if anyone is willing to share WW tracks, we'd appreciate it, or be our guide - dinner at Ray's on me or donations to this site, trail effort, etc. We are flexible on the three days above (sorry: a weekend day is not possible).
