Trail Overview

This route has something for everyone. The trail is wide enough for 4x4 vehicles, while still providing enough challenging terrain and technical features to make it fun for dirt bikes. This particular route I have mapped is intermediate and still possible to achieve on light adventure bikes and heavy dual-sport motorcycles. All of the difficult features on this trail offer alternate routes.

Great trail for beginners that aren’t looking to damage anything. If you have a 20+ foot long truck like mine you will drag the hitch but that’s it

What a fantastic trail. So much fun. Just enough to give you pause to think about your lines but not too scary to go for it. LX470, 2" lift with 33s.

So, I would not recommend driving a stock Cayenne on street tires and without air suspension on this trail. Departure angles were the biggest issue. That said, I took my time and had a blast. Great into to UT slick rock.

This trail is harder than most people say. The climbs are very steep up and down. You would need both a capable vehicle and skill. Or just rent a sxs

Completely dry with light traffic, mostly from SxS & motorcycles. A Moab favorite trail of ours! During our first run of this last September we did not complete the Kenny's Climb section near the end, however during this ride we did, and it did not disappoint; highly recommend this section. FYI: at point "4 choices down (8.25 miles)" has been partially blocked with dead trees for erosion issues perhaps(?) -- specifically, the "between the trees" line down is blocked.

This was a great trail! It was our first off-road trail in Moab, and it was so much fun. There were lots of boulders, but the trail is well marked so nothing too difficult. Good spotter would be beneficial. We did it in Bronco Badlands Sasquatch.

Very fun trail. If you’re not in a lifted vehicle and haven’t done the trail before, you’ll likely need a spotter for some of the bigger obstacles. You will be scraping skid plates and your rear bumper or trailer hitch on the bigger climbs, descents, and larger obstacles in a stock non-Jeep 4x4. Not a super difficult or technical trail but not an easy one either. No issues with traction on a dry day. Saved the second half of the trail for another day.

Steep and uneven slickrock. Some sections were downright terrifying. I only did the “first half” section of the trail. There was a part at the top of a particularly rough section where a fin was sticking up and there was no way not to scrape bottom, even with 35s and a 2” lift.

Soooooo awesomely fun. Went with a Land Rover group- a bunch of classics and newer trucks. Nothing like getting all of us through the obstacles in these rigs- it’s something special. So yeah, it was challenging and had spooky but fun obstacles. Ride on!

Lot's of folks will say this is an easy trail and I wouldn't argue with that necessarily. but if you're driving a Tacoma, you'll definitely hit your tow hitch a couple times and possibly your rear bumper. I'd also recommend removing your mud guards. I got some road rash on the bumper of my '22 Tacoma with a 2" lift and 285 70 17 KO3s. The final obstacle on the first half of the trail is called Bu*t Scratcher for a reason, ha ha! It's possible I could have taken a straighter line and dragged the hitch without hitting the bumper, but if it's your first time in Moab like it was for me, just know that this obstacle is unavoidable. Other than the mild bumper damage, it was super fun!

Many hikers in the way of jeeps and side by sides. They were just walking in the driving path causing issues for off-road vehicles. Hikers have their own designated trails without having to cross off-road vehicle trails marked appropriately
