Colorado to Moab: A Desert Roadtrip with Man’s Best Friend
There’s something about a quick escape to Moab that never gets old—especially when you’ve got your dog riding shotgun and a truck dialed in for adventure. For Ken Hoeve, co-founder of FLATED®, this roadtrip from Colorado to Utah was all about getting back to the basics: good company, great views, and putting gear to the test in real conditions.
Hitting the Road to Moab
Ken loaded up the truck and headed west from Colorado, with his dog along for the ride and miles of open road ahead. The goal for this trip was simple: get out into the desert, set up a clean camp, and spend time exploring everything Moab has to offer.
Dialing in Camp with New Gear
Once he arrived, Ken got to work setting up camp—this time with a few new truck accessories in the mix. With the FLATED Air-Topper® as the foundation, he fine-tuned his setup to make it more efficient, comfortable, and ready for whatever the trip brought.
Part of the focus was also testing a new FLATED product, putting it through real-world use to see how it holds up in a rugged desert environment. From setup to breakdown, every piece of gear had a purpose, helping create a seamless camp experience.
Exploring the Red Rock Landscape
With camp dialed in, it was time to get out and explore. Ken and his dog hit the trails, hiking through Moab’s iconic red rock terrain and soaking in the wide-open desert views. The pace was simple—no rush, just moving through the landscape and enjoying the kind of quiet you can only find out there.
Testing in Real Conditions
This trip wasn’t just about the views—it was about proving how gear performs when it matters. Between dusty trails, changing temps, and daily use, Ken got a solid feel for how both the Air-Topper® and the new FLATED product handled life on the road.
Simple, Functional Adventure
At its core, this Moab trip was a reminder of what FLATED is all about: making adventure easier. With the right setup, you spend less time figuring things out and more time actually enjoying where you are—whether that’s hiking desert trails, setting up camp, or just hanging out with your dog under the open sky.
