Solo R1T camping adventure at White Rim Road | Moab, UT

[Calvin2518]

I spent the weekend in Moab on a solo camping adventure.

I decided on a whim to tackle the White Rim Road through Canyonlands - 99 miles of off roading. I completed the trail in 2 days, getting around 75 miles on the first day and the last 25ish miles on the second day.

I left Moab with 85% SOC from the Tesla SuperChargers with the Magic Dock (awesome!!) and headed out.

About the halfway point, I started to get a little range anxiety but figured, “nothing ventured, nothing earned!” And went for it.

The first night I stopped at about 75 miles in - completely alone in the middle of the desert. I was at 39% SOC. I used the outlets on the truck to power an induction grill and made a delicious New York strip. I woke up the next morning at 38% SOC and about 25°F. Amazed at almost no range loss.

I am incredibly proud of what the Rivian can do. It was an adventure and tested my mettle and the Rivian’s.

Headed back to Denver after a top off (got back to Moab with 11% SOC ?) and made it home last night!

if y’all want any of the full resolution photos, let me know and I can drop a Dropbox link or something.

Love it, and great pics! Looking forward to doing this trip next spring. But I’m leaving the Moab SC with 100% SOC …

Would highly recommend 100% SOC, haha. Kind of did it on a whim - glad I was prepared with camping off grid (that was the plan), but bit off a bit more than I could chew with the overall length of the trip. 10/10 though, the Rivian did fantastic. Glad it made it with no issues!

As always, amazing pics Calvin! That is my kind of trip - alone in the desert with a NY strip steak and the stars.

Nice pictures!!

Did you run in to any challenges? I'll interested in your "what if" gear?

I am trying to learn about what gear people carry with them for these solo trips?

What do you typically bring just in case? Do you have In-reach or something similar?

No challenges, thankfully!

On a trip like this, enough food to last a few days in case of any unforeseen circumstances, and plenty of water, I had a 5 gallon supply of water just in case!

I also always carry multiple flashlights, a gun, and some basic tow gear (soft shackles, a shovel, a tow hitch, a tow line), plenty of warm weather gear and LOTS of pairs of socks just in case.

Spare tire, jack kit (that came with the spare tire) and beyond that normal camping gear!

I hope that helps - seriously ask away if I missed anything or if you have any questions! Happy to help

Do you use a heater or just a good sleeping bag? I need to be in Montrose for work next week and I’m thinking to go do something similar Sunday night
