With fall fast approaching, we were able to acquire camping permits to Canyonlands National Park Needles District; specifically, within the Elephant Hill Trail. We equip our Lexus LX470 (100 series land cruiser) and my dad's Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK for the 3 days 2 night adventure.

In this episode, we prepare for our journey and head out to our first basecamp: Inside the vast wilderness of the San Rafael Swell.
