Trail Overview
One of the most famous, and most difficult, trails in Moab, Pritchett Canyon is a bucket-list adventure. This route tests even the toughest rigs and experienced riders. Be prepared to winch and damage your vehicle. Expect off-camber turns, huge ledges and long, difficult climbs-most of which do not offer a bypass. Flash floods are possible. The trail only gets harder as you go on. The reward is a very exciting ride and the striking, out-of-this-world scenery that Moab is famous for.

Difficulty
Extremely difficult. For big, customized, hard-core rigs only. Huge, off-camber ledges lie in wait for drivers too proud to winch (winch points on Chewy Hill, Rocker Knocker, Axle Hill and Yellow Hill). We left our modified 2-door Rubicon at home and wisely rode with Moab Friends for Wheelin'. Study YouTube(r) videos before you go.
