One trail will be passable for stock type vehicles (No Way Hill). There are also some more difficult runs for moderately modified vehicles (Cat Canyon, Chainsaw & New Helldorado). Trails for advanced drivers with highly modified vehicles are scheduled (see trails 5-7 below).
Trail Descriptions
1. No Way Hill (3.5), scenic trail ride through Miller and Amasee Valley. Passable for all stock vehicles with optional challenges for vehicles with aftermarket performance parts.
2. Cat Canyon (4), scenic and challenging trail ride through Cat Canyon. Obstacles include The Cliff Hanger, the Rock Garden and Jaw Bone. Good equipment is an advantage, but vehicles with a lift and larger tires have made it through.
3. Chainsaw (4+), scenic and challenging trail ride through Bird Canyon and to the gold mine near the top of the canyon. Obstacles include the Fuel Dump, Axle Buster, Waterfall, the Gauntlet and the optional Cabin Door for the extreme enthusiast.
4. New Helldorado (4+), scenic and challenging drive through the Topaz Mt. area. The trail consists of a twisty boulder path through a sandy wash. The main obstacles are the Body Snatcher and the Big Climb at the end. The Body Snatcher and the Big Climb can be bypassed.
5. Buggy Boulevard (4++) scenic and very challenging ride through Smelter Knowels. The start of the trail is the Buggy Boulevard. Other obstacles past the Boulevard include Houses of the Holies hill climb, the Son of a Gun and the optional Rocky Gulch that has never been successfully driven.
6. Hell's Back Bone (5+), scenic and extremely challenging drive through the
Topaz Mt. area. This trail is for highly modified vehicles with drivers that don't scare easily and can handle body damage and broken parts. Limit of 10 vehicles for this trail. Obstacles have no bypasses except the Big Vertical at the end.
7. Desert Mountain (5+), scenic and extremely challenging drive through the
Desert Mountain recreation area. This trail is for highly modified vehicles with skilled drivers
that can handle broken parts. Warning, driving these obstacles can result in roll overs and destroyed equipment, it can also a lot of fun if your prepared and have the necessary skills. Limit of 15 vehicles for this trail.
All trail difficulty ratings on the Moab 1-5 scale.
