"The Pritchett Canyon Trail was chosen because it offers challenging obstacles with unbelievable scenery," said Joe Mazur, light truck brand category manager for BFGoodrich Tires. "We're honored to team up with clubs like the Moab Friends-For-Wheelin' to help in the conservation efforts and ensure this area will continue to stay intact and safe for all future visitors."

More than 50 off-road enthusiasts and members of the Georgia Bounty Runners 4WD club were in attendance as BFGoodrich Tires presented a grant to the club?s president. The grant will be used to preserve the scenic trails and continue conservation efforts for one of America?s picture-perfect areas for off-roading.
