Poison Spider Mesa

Trail Overview

Tucked between the Moab Valley and the Colorado River, Poison Spider Mesa is one of the most popular routes in Moab for good reason. It's common to drive the first portion heading to Golden Spike, but be sure to take the loop, as it offers slickrock, a sandy hill to play on, and an overlook you won't want to miss. This route has it all: fun obstacles and some great scenery. Play with caution and stay on marked trails.

Difficulty

Difficult. Large awkward ledges with tippy spots. Many (not all) have bypasses. Modified vehicles with bigger tires, lockers, and high ground clearance are best suited, but some drivers of newer aggressive stock SUVs are getting through with careful tire placement.
