Thousands of four wheel drive enthusiasts converge on Moab's red rock trails for a nine day off roading event that traditionally ends on Easter Sunday. Started in 1967 by the Moab Chamber of Commerce as a single day trip, it is now run by the Red Rock 4 Wheelers and is considered the largest off road event in the world. A vendor expo runs alongside the trail rides at the Old Spanish Trail Arena.
