On a rainy morning 13 Jeeps headed to Poison Spider Trail to transverse, Poison Spider, Golden Spike and Gold Bar Rim. To get to the trail head of Poison Spider you head north from Moab on 191 turn left (west) on Potash road and follow this about 6 miles to the parking area for Poison Spider.
In the parking lot there is plenty of room to air down.
