Spent a day at Moab and noticed my tire pressure was way off

I drove out to Moab last weekend for some light trail riding and on the way back I checked my tires at a gas station. Turns out I was running 45 psi on gravel which is way too high, they recommend like 25-30 psi for better grip. A guy at the campsite told me I probably lost traction on the slickrock sections because of it. Has anyone else messed up their pressure on a trip and noticed a big difference after fixing it?

Moab's more like 20-25 psi for slickrock actually.

Good point @rosek44, I always ran higher but you're right.
