I was going to start a new thread with this exact question. The NH location is a 4-hour drive for me and would be instruction in a similar environment to where I live. HOWEVER, I don't know if I'll ever realistically get a chance to go off-roading in MOAB, so this would be an opportunity.
That is the $100K question alright !

TN was fun. Trails super tight (like trees a couple inches from mirrors). And we got to drive down a waterfall

Reposting this from another thread.


We just came back from the full day event in Moab.

After introductions we were split up into three groups of five Broncos.

Now I can’t speak for the other two groups, but ours was outstanding. Our instructor (Erica) was fantastic. She took us on trails that allowed us to use all of the features in the Bronco, from all the GOAT modes, Trail Assist, One Pedal, etc. we did everything from rock crawls to higher speed trail running.

We had lunch at the halfway point at the top of one of the plateaus which was a bit challenging given the heat (106°F) with pretty strong winds (there was a Red Flag warning in effect).

The trail took us near some caves, an abandoned uranium mine and some old mining shacks where we got to get out and explore a bit. We even got to see some dinosaur footprints.

She taught the groups how to be a spotter, along with getting out to discuss the best way to approach obstacles from an approach and departure.

There was one guy in our group who had been to two other Roadeos (Nevada and New Hampshire). We asked him which he liked the best and he said Moab by far, saying NH was essentially driving through a forest (his words) and Nevada was higher speed desert running. In his opinion Moab was much more technical.

We had a full day of driving that ended with a dinner. There was supposed to be a campfire after dinner at base camp, but with the heat still in the mid-90s, not many people, if any stuck around for that.

My partner came along, more so to see Moab. I had her listed as just a passenger, but at check-in we added her as a driver. She had an absolute blast.

I can’t say enough of the experience. It exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend Moab to anyone.

The only negative was unrelated to the Roadeo itself. We stayed at the Red Cliffs lodge which is in the same property as where the Roadeo base camp is.

The rooms were great and we had incredible views with the Colorado River running right outside our patio, however the restaurant and museum were under renovations. They were serving meals at the Basecamp building but I would rate the food as OK at best.

You could stay in town for probably a lot less money but despite the renovations, we had no regrets. The views were stunning. It’s also about a 30 minute drive from town to the Red Cliffs lodge/Roadeo Basecamp.

We got there a few days early and hiked The Fisher Towers, and explored Arches National Park and Canyonlands (highly recommend). Given the heat we got up at sunrise and would be finished by about 10:30am, got back to the lodge and spend several hours at the pool, later in the afternoon go back out and explore a bit more and then get back to shower and head out to dinner.

The only thing missing was that we didn’t have our own Bronco. Moab is 1,600 miles from SE Michigan.

We flew into SLC, rented a vehicle and drove the 3.5 hours to Moab which was pretty scenic in itself.

All in all both my partner and I felt it was one of the best experiences we’ve had.

Highly recommend Moab!

Went to sign up for the Moab Off Roadeo (just got our Bronco a couple months ago), but the available dates only go up to June. I'm assuming they schedule events later in the year?

We did the Moab Offroadeo a few years ago in 2nd half of May. It was already getting warm. For the amount of times the group stops, I think it be pretty toasty in July and August.

That said, we drove our Bronco out there and had a blast on easy to moderate trails with it when we weren't in the class.

I did the Moab location on Halloween day last year. Could not have asked for better weather. Our guide Tim rode with us and that is a great plus. You are getting tips and tricks the whole time.

We did Moab last year and it was awesome, turned it into a epic roadtrip for my son and I before he graduates this spring. Stayed a couple days in Colorado hitting some trails, spent a few days in Moab, then a couple of days in SantaFe before heading back.
I can't speak to other locations, but Moab was great.

Just got a reply from OffRoadeo HQ about later dates:

Thank you for reaching out to Bronco Off-Roadeo Program Headquarters. As we typically release dates by season, summer/fall 2026 Off-Roadeo dates will be released sometime later this spring (likely next month). Once these dates become available, email notifications will go out to all account holders, so please be sure to keep an eye on your inbox and our live calendar for updates.
