Top 12 Beginner to Moderate Off-Road Trails in Moab Utah | Trails for Crossover, Subaru, and Trucks 

Excellent informational video. Thank you. We are outfitting our 4Runner for North American travel and we only been to Moab once, so this was a great help.

Awesome info for a first timer to Moab! Thank you!

That was a fantastic and very informative video! I’ve been to Moab several times and I agree with your assessment of the trails. 🍻

Exactly what I wanted. The cinematic videos I keep finding are cool but this seems so much more helpful. The breakdown of what's recomended for what trails is appreciated but even more so, I appreciate the map pics. Awesome stuff.

I've had great fun on the onion creek trail and I appreciate you pointing out many more reasonable places for standard vehicles to explore. Moab is kind of magical because it's like being able to drive around in Grand canyon 😂ish... As far as safety, a little common sense can go a long way both on and off road. Thanks for the video

Thank you! Awesome video!

Your show keeps growing!!!!!! you are so close to 1000 subcribers, all the work it took to get to that point is amazing. Been watching from the beginning, you'll be at 10k subscribers this time next year then 100k then 1,000,000 🙂

I did hells revenge, hells gate, hot tub, metal masher, in my wife’s daily driver, stock 05 Lexus lx 470. Totally against my wife’s wishes! We had an electric problem as soon as we started there and I lost “A Track”. First time, I did everything with open diffs with 9.5w 31.5 tires. Everyone was following filming expecting me to rip every panel off of the car. Kept telling me it’s going to permanently look different. Don’t do it! You can rent a rock buggy for $460.00 for 6 hours…. No risk no reward. I was determined to leave with a flawless car! took off the side steps to prevent damage. This was going to be EPIC! I couldn’t see a thing over the hood! I couldn’t see any tire placement that was absolutely the most terrifying thing I have done. Wife will go for the first time, and drive it on spring break. Same set up.

I stumbled across Onion Creek in Oct 2020 when I was in Moab just exploring around. I came down it from the top there after just following a road and ending up at the Bull Canyon Overlook, and just continuing on from there wherever my wandering took me. AMAZING! I did it in my 2010 V6 AWD RAV4 (stock except for Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires). Excellent all season tires to be sure, and surprisingly good in the dirt, but not "knobby" offroad tires like on my ZR2. There were a couple tricky spots coming down, one where I had to move a couple rocks I didn't think I'd clear (no skidplates on it), but other than just having to go slow, and carefully pick my lines, it was easily doable, with ounly one point that was a little difficult because of the slippery uphill (peagravel on hardpack). This weekend I'm bringing my new (100% stock/month old) 2024 Colorado ZR2 and except for it's much greater turning radius (still learning where the corners/wheels are) it should eat up everything the RAV had to go slow over. I think I'll do it up, and then back down for fun! I've been "softroading" the RAV since I bought it new in Dec '09, but this is the first truck I've had since I traded my Dakota Quad cab 4WD for the RAV, and even then I never did anything really challenging in it except once in the snow. So, being a noob, and going alone (as usual), I'm just going to do easy stuff and enjoy the scenery/ride, knowing that I have more than enough truck to get back safely.

Cool vid,but most "off-roaders" find the nature trail at local BassProShops certainly challenging and more difficult than the famous Walmart Trail.

Excellent! I have been asking for this list from somebody! Thank you. I have a 4x4 Grand Cherokee but no real off-road experience and I'd probably be driving alone. So this is a great place to do some light trails through these beautiful parks.

Schafer trail is great in itself but if you continue on the road back to town there are several places where you are very close to the river. You pass by "Thelma and Louise Point", you pass by the Potash ponds, and you also pass by a good section of petroglyphs right along the river near where people climb the cliffs. You can also take a short hike to Corona arch. The east end of Gemini Bridges trail is fairly rough, if you don't want that then go out and back from the Island in the Sky road. Bull Canyon can be very rough and you definitely need high ground clearance for that one. Spring Canyon bottom- the road goes down Mineral Bottom switchbacks. These aren't difficult but are more extreme than Schafer trail. As you go along the river you might get into more sand and/or mud so beware. You left off Hurrah Pass and Chicken Corners. These aren't any more difficult than some of the ones you mentioned and are very scenic. The road out to Kane Creek Canyon to get to Hurrah Pass is very scenic and has been improved greatly to the beginning of Hurrah Pass. For first-timers to Moab there are plenty of good sights to see from paved roads, plenty to keep you busy for a week anyway and you don't have to get off of pavement much.

Wow! Thank you. Subscribed. I'm saving this video for my dream trip to try some of these trails and camp with the family. Can't wait.

🙂Liked and subscribed.

Thank you so much! Perfect trails for beginner dirt bike riders as well!

Hey! Just wanted to thank you for this video! I am in Moab for the first time and WOW!!! Willow Flats and Onion Creek where two of the most incredible drives I have ever been on! And you get dinosaur tracks thrown in? This place (Utah) is absolutely STUNNING!!!

Great vid! Good to know with what a good new rig costs! Lake Havasu 🌞 Az

NIce Video, we are headed to Moab for the first time. Stock JL on 33's so this video was helpful.

Did White Rim in a Subaru years ago, 1989 or so. A 1987 GL wagon. Back then they had low range and real 4WD. No way my 2007 Outback could do that. Got lots of looks from all the 4wheelers out there. Coulda used more ground clearance but otherwise did fine. Good times.

Thanks!

You should do this for the southern part of Utah!

Awesome video, thanks. Can these trails be done year round? October/November temps looks inviting for a northern Canadian.

I have a Z71 ext cab short bed w/ 32" tires all terrain tires (might be running MT's this spring), 4.10 gears, Eaton truetrac limited slip and it's leveled in the front, but I still worry about some of the approach and descent angles. I think I'll try some of these trails you mention. Hell's Revenge and Fins & Things looks like it may cause me to rub (might have to take off my front bumper to be safe?). I have a friend who wants to go and he has a lifted Ram 1500 on 37's but it's only 2wd so I think some of the steeper trails would be out of the question for him since he would just spin his rears and not be able to pull up even though he has tons of ground clearance. I think he could do some of the flatter trails and enjoy the views.

I am planning a trip to Kanab (The Wave) in late April with my ‘23 TRD Pro Taco. Can you recommend some trails around that area? I was thinking about Sand Hallow or Zion. But I have zero knowledge about that area as I am from Texas! If you could please please please 🙏 send me some recommendations I would forever be in your debt! 😁. Also I am trying to start a RU-vid channel myself and want to film my adventure on this trip! So I can definitely give you credit if you do have any suggestions! Awesome video BTW! Great idea!

We have a lifted 3" 4Runner, winch, locker etc. Should be able to do these trails...we have a Sol Horizon 19' trailer. It has 14" of ground clearance and is fairly off roady...are any of these trails trailer friendly? We are heading out there this summer 2024. Want to do some dispersed camping.

Montra Colorado? What is it? (Rim Rocker). Be good if you had mentioned the miles and exact start point of each trail. Like Dome Plateau; where is it? Where does it start? How long is it? I'm sure I can find out, but it'd be nice if you'd mentioned it. Thanks.

When is the best time of year to visit Moab?

How's cell phone service on these trails?

Hurrah Pass??
