For one week in September, Farmington became the center of the off-road world as 4 Corners 4×4 week. It brought together drivers, builders, vendors, and enthusiasts from across the region. The week was packed with events celebrating the people and machines that make up the Four Corners off-road community. From the trails of Chokecherry Canyon to the streets of downtown Farmington, the week was packed with events celebrating the people and machines that make up the Four Corners off-road community. You’re watching the local news network, brought to you by Quill & Quest Bookstore and Fly High Adventure Park. The week kicked off Monday, September 7th at the Farmington Museum and Visitor Center. Tuesday as the sun went down, the action moved into Chokecherry Canyon for the Fall Crawl Night Run. From Wednesday through Friday, the Fall Crawl took over the area’s trails. Participants chose from guided runs through Choke Cherry Canyon with terrain ranging from easier trails to some of the most challenging obstacles in the area. While the trails stayed busy during the day, the Four Corners Vendor Show brought the off-road community together at the Farmington Civic Center Thursday and Friday nights. Jeep and truck owners, side-by-side drivers, and Overlanders came together to seek out new products, discover new gear, and connect with businesses from the off-road industry. But as the week came to a close, the biggest competition was still ahead. On Saturday and Sunday, Chuck Jerry Canyon became the stage for the W.E.Rock Grand Nationals. Some of the best rock crawling drivers from across the country came to Farmington to battle for a national title. Drivers and spotters had just 10 minutes to work their way through each course, navigating three to four gates while avoiding cones and minimizing backups. Every mistake cost points, and when the dust settled, the team with the lowest score came out on top. From the opening show on Swap to nighttime trail runs, guided crawls, downtown events, and some of the most extreme rock crawling in the country, the Four Corners four by four week brought the entire off-road community together for a week of competition, adventure, and camaraderie. They showcased the machines, the drivers, the businesses, and the people who continue to make the Four Corners a destination for off-road enthusiasts.
