The Rim Rocker route is a series of roads and trails from Montrose, CO to Moab, UT, although it can be driven in either direction. However, in this video the Preston’s start near to Grand Junction and drive south over the Uncompahgre Plateau to the intersection of the Montrose Nucla Road and the Rim Rocker trail to Moab.
The trip from where they turned off SR 141 to Divide Road to where they intersected with US 191 south of Moab is about 165 miles, a nice 4 day trip. Most of the trip except Coyote Spring Road can be driven by any high clearance vehicle. Elevations and scenery ranged from cool forests at 9,000 feet to the hot high desert at 4,000 feet.
The only really gnarly trail was near the end and can be avoided by those who don’t want to deal with brush and big rocks.
