We're announcing the planning and upcoming registration for the official ORTB 5yr anniversary event.

We will meet for breakfast, make sure everyone has necessary permits and passes and head off to our first route, the White Rim Trail, located within Canyonlands National Park.
We we will be posting the full event itinerary for each day and the trails and campsites within the next few months.
The event is free and open to all, however you will have to pay your own expenses (obviously) for required permits and such. We will post how and where to get permits and costs as soon as we can.
We wanted to post these dates so anyone who wants to attend has time to plan, save money and request time off from work. We know this is a big trip for most members.
While the cost is free, there will be some required gear for this trip, we will not be offroading with folks who don't cover the basics on their own. Getting towed out of most of these locations can cost upwards of $1000++ and there are fines.
