I just bought a new Johnson, Quick Track, Wildlife, and Marshall. I wanted to see for myself which worked the best. I will never buy another Johnson or Wildlife. Quick Track and Marshall are pretty much the same with the exception of the treeing switch. The Quick Track is too loose. In my opinion ...

The Bookcliffs are great!! I would definitely recommend that you try there. The San Juan sucks. No bears, no lions, way too many hound doggers.

Moab might be ok. If you can't find a bear you'll be able find several locals that smell like bears. It would be good training either way.

If your 4 year old begs to ride on the dog box with the "other good dogs"...
