The basics

|---|---|
| Expected group | About 300 youth and adults. |
| Important | Do not use Google or GPS to find the ranch. It sends people to Woodruff (about 40 minutes away). Give every driver the written directions. |
| Full commitment | Everyone attends the whole trek. No mid-trek arrivals or departures, and no leaving the property for ice, groceries or gas. |
Getting there
- Travelling east on I-80, take Exit #191 (Wahsatch), the last Utah exit. If you reach Evanston you have gone too far.
- Turn left under the freeway, then right onto the frontage road. Go past the old shed and water tower.
- Just past the water tower turn left and cross the railroad tracks. Come to a complete stop before the tracks.
- The ranch gate is right after the tracks. Signs show whether each group goes left or right.
- Fill every support vehicle at Coalville or Evanston before entering the ranch.
