Adventure Addicts
Alvord Desert
We found the entrance to the dried lake bed… It was super weird to just camp anywhere on the lake

A few families from Fresno headed out toward southwest Utah for a few days of driving, exploring, and camping in some pretty remote spots. They traveled through Las Vegas, then into rough trails, creek crossings, and river camps around Toquerville Falls. Our OPUS OP4 made this journey easy and comfortable, even when the roads got rough and the camps were far from anything.

Trip Details:
Starting in Fresno, these Adventure Addicts made their way to South West Utah, stopping in Las Vegas for a quick visit!
“The first three nights we camped at La Verkin Creek near Toquerville Falls.
We attempted to bring the OP4s up La Verkin Creek and were unable to make it (Long story but we ended up naming Russ’s OP4 after the “Evergreen” at the Suez Canal) so we double-backed and were able to make it to the falls from the other route.”
The location we ended up landing at was about 30 minutes off the grid, just past the falls on a bluff overlooking a bend in La Verkin Creek.
The last two nights we camped at the Virgin River near the Belly of the Dragon. The first day that we got there the kids were in their bathing suits and were playing in the sand and in the water.”
After a couple of days moving between La Verkin Creek and the Virgin River, they found some really scenic places to set up and slow down. Even with unexpected route changes, the OPUS OP4 remained dependable and provided a solid and comfortable base wherever it parked.
