5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

My favorite pass through the Sierra Nevada...awesome camping and backpacking around Emigrant Wilderness

 

I'll be up in Flagstaff on Monday. Hopefully it won't be too late!

 

I have no idea on Flag...good luck!

 

Similar temps to the white mountains so I'm hopeful!

 

It just loves the sand

 

Very cool. In the Middle East somewhere? I did not realize the 4Runner was sold outside the USA and Canada?

 

welcome here from Canada

 

… off the 395, Lundy area.

 

Don't forget Guatemala. I saw very, very few 4Runners in Mexico, but Tacomas seem to be the most popular vehicle there of any brand. But yeah, Guatemala sells 4Runners.

 

4Runners are not sold in this region correct ,
But we import them from the US (either from insurance write offs or second hand market).

it’s crazy popular in Oman

 

That is super cool, ironically my buddy sent me pic of a Prado in the states in Virginia someone had imported.

Welcome to the site.

 

Saw a couple in Ecuador few yrs back when down there for work. Think I even posted pic here.

 

We went on a road trip from the Pacific Northwest to Albuquerque and back with a few stops. What a great trip, although we encountered heavy rain in Moab and the surrounding area that did close some of the trails we were looking to run, oh well. Just means a repeat trip!

The Bisti Badlands, northwest New Mexico near Farmington. This is looking into the badlands, but to really see anything, you have to hike in. A surreal area to explore.


Another looking the opposite direction while the sun was coming up.


The next picture is in the Angel Peak Campground, which is a bit closer to Farmington than the Bisti Badlands.


We then travelled to the Moab area, and due to the rains, decided to visit the Needles district of Canyonlands! What a really cool place!


Another of the Needles District.

 

Some great shots! WA to ABQ and back is a trip I do at least twice per year, for family visiting. I try to vary the route a little, but unless you want to add many hundreds of miles, there's really only so much route tweaking you can do.

 

Off road trip, then cleaned up with all the other Toyotas.

 

One last pic from the Eastern sierras

 

Alstorm Point, Lake Powell, Utah

 

Over night, Anza Borrego.. moonless night. The stars were amazing

 

Great night skies out an Anzo...I see Orion (Sirius is just left) and the Pleiades!

 

Vermilion Cliffs, AZ

 

House Rock Valley road?

 

Yes.

 

Just out and about in SE New Mexico

 

Just got back from an overland trip from Washington State to Utah State. Had some thunder storms with intense lightning and thunder hit while in the canyons which was pretty intense. I don’t think I have ever heard/felt thunder like that before, the lightning was striking the ground around the rim above me, while the thunder echoed and reverberated through the canyons, scary but pretty awesome. The ensuing flash floods, just filled the washes with a few feet of water, that quickly dropped in flow and height.

After the storms, I did run into one section that sent water up and over my front bumper, about up to my front camera, while driving through what I thought was a puddle. I also ran into one section of road way that required me to bridge a washed out section of road edge (I filled it in with some rocks/boulder/dirt as well). The following day, I did run through some fairly deep and long flooded sections of trail but didn’t have any issues, plus a couple of locals let me follow them through.

 

Wow. Nicely outfitted rig.
Can you share your Utah destinations?

 

Just out day trippin

 

My wife had brain surgery in early October and even though the surgery went as well as it could have, her recovery didn't, and she was in the ICU for over a week. Thankfully, she is doing much better now and I was finally able to get out on a weekend adventure for the first time in over a month. It felt great to be back to hiking and exploring the backcountry of the Colorado Plateau again!
