This was not easy, but very rewarding. Not for the faint of heart!

We decided to take a trip and see Jacob Hamblin Arch. The best way for us to do that was to camp at Sooner Rock and repel down the canyon from Water Tanks. This place is amazing!!! The trip to get there was not easy! The road is VERY rough There are two washes that will make you question your life decisions, but you can make it with a little skill and some determination. I pulled a 21' travel trailer down Hole in the Rock Road with a half ton Chevy, the trip took 5hrs at 5-15mph depending on the road conditions. If you are faint of heart this one may not be for you. We saw a heard of cows and cowboys on the road that we literally had to wait for (there were hundreds of cows). The camping at Sooner is remote, silent, and very dark at night. We went in May and the cactus were in bloom. This is the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life (coming from someone who lives in Wisconsin). The sunrise and sunset are unlike anything I have ever seen. Its like being on different planet. The space at Sooner leaves plenty of room to camp and the access road while single track isn't too bad to navigate as its only a few hundred yards from Hole in the Rock Road. If you like an adventure this one is for you!

The name Sooner Rock comes from cowboys. The phrase is "I’d sooner be home than out in this forsaken region", which is exactly the opposite of how I felt!
