Trail Overview

You'll find so much to do here that you may want to camp and stay the weekend. It is a really fun area with corkscrew high banks, tricky narrow sections and great scenery. There is a large staging area at the trailhead.

Weather was nice. Got there around 7am no one else there. Fun spot with lots of little obstacles along the way to get some great flex pics!

I would rate a part of Flake Rd (south side) as a 5. I included a pic of that section.

Open all the way. A lot more rutted out areas than there used to be. Also a lot more rock outcrops when going to the right. Mini Moab is significantly harder than it was years ago. 37” or higher is a must for most lines. I ran it in 2012 in an FJ with 33” with no issues. No way it could be done now. Even the bypasses are getting bad
