Trail Overview

Part of the treasured Sand Flats Recreations Area, Hells Revenge is one of the most popular trails near Moab. Due to hazardous conditions, this trail is recommended for experienced riders only. These challenges, combined with breathtaking scenery, make this a rewarding adventure. Hell's Revenge intertwines with the Slickrock Bike Trail, so be very careful at crosspoints: bikers have the right of way. The trailhead is just past the entrance station. Traversing sand and slickrock, hair-raising climbs, steep descents and sharp turns, Hells Revenge offers excitement around every corner. A one-day pass for private vehicles is $5, a 7-day pass is $10, and an annual pass is $25. Out of state ATVs or UTVs require a permit. OHV permits are valid for 12 months and cost $30. Passes and permits are available online only. As of January 1, 2023, all OHV operators must complete the Utah Off-Highway vehicle education course, also available online.
