The Maze is the most remote, and least accessible part of Canyonlands National Park. Four-wheel drive roads are treacherous and unmarked. The National Park Service warns those permitted to travel that they must be self-sufficient, and not expect a rescue in case of emergency. With the gauntlet thrown, Mike, Dan, Adam and Aron were all IN! Kudos to Aron for planning, and special thanks to Adam for the photography.
