Trail Overview

Lockhart Basin is way off the beaten path, incredibly rough and rocky, and borders Canyonlands National Park. It's not safe to take this one alone. Give yourself plently of time if you expect to get through it in one day. Add Lockhart Canyon for a fun overnight trip, but don't forget extra water and fuel. Hamburger Rock Campground is available for a small fee. Avoid Canyonlands National Park if you're riding an ATV or UTV.

Difficulty

Difficult. The first 2 miles is the toughest part. After that, it's mostly moderate with intermittent mildly difficult spots. Heavy rains can make it worse. After Waypoint 04, it's easier. Aggressive, stock, high-clearance 4x4 SUVs can do it with experienced driver.

The trail is open, but be careful. I did this with a 2 door lifted JK Rubicon on 34", meaning my car easily passes many obstacles, and still this was a very hard pass. Specially the area closer to Moab is very difficult, technical and with large rocks to pass. I don't think I would have passed with a 4door, and almost rolled at least on 2 points. And I'm a very experienced offroader. Just be careful, and don't do it alone. Had to tell a couple coming on their stock Sahara to turn around because it was going to wreck their car.

Very scenic long trail. We went from south to north got off of 211 at 10:30 and made it to hurrah pass around 5:00 pm. The last 1.5 miles have the majority of the ledges and obstacles. Would probably be simpler to go north to south in a full-size.

Access Description

Follow directions for Hurrah Pass, Trail #32, and first half of Chicken Corners, Trail #58. Turn left at sign to Lockhart Basin.
