Thanks for the wonderful report. We did that same trip, but took 6 weeks. We've done the Burr trail twice. If you want a simular type trail, but with much, much better scenary(if U can believe it)try the Shaffer Trail at Canyonlands Nat'l Pk, Utah. It starts off Hyway 313(Islands in the Sky Rd.)It begind with Switchbacks very simular to Muley, but much steeper. Crosses the bottom of Canyonlands, below DeadHorse point, and reaches Hyway 279 just north of Moab. U can do it in U'r truck, but without the camper. If U ever do this ride, ask locals about the Long Canyon (Different Long Canyon) turnoff at Tea Handle arch. I think U'r truck can make it under the giant fallen rock.
Thanks, Jalooote, for the tip. I find it hard to believe that anything could be better than the Burr Trail, but I'll check it out. I'll have to do more research on that drive.
