2025 Trail Selections and Sponsors


                                   Moab Grenadier Gathering Trails

 

Chicken Corners • Rated 2 – sponsored by Overland Gear Guy

The route travels the Colorado River Canyon just below Moab, follows a spectacular part of Kane Springs Canyon, climbs the Kane Creek anticline to Hurrah Pass, and descends to benches above the Colorado River. The trail dead-ends at Chicken Corners about 400 feet above the river across from Dead Horse Point.

Gemini Bridges • Rated 2 – Sponsored by Evictus Suspension Systems 

The trail covers a region between US Highway 191 and SR 313, reaches some grand vistas, and accesses numerous other trails. The highlight is the spectacular twin arch, called Gemini Bridges, on the rim of an arm of Bull Canyon.

Lost World • Rated 3 – 

This trail passes Dubinky Well and goes in between Rainbow Terrace and Lost World Butte. It proceeds into the area southeast of Ten-mile Canyon, passing several arches and stunning landscapes.

Buttes and Towers • Rated 3 - Sponsored by Eibach

This beautiful trail visits the scenic Courthouse Pasture area northwest of Moab to provide participants with a relaxing, moderate 4wheeling experience along with picturesque views and vistas of the beautiful reddish Entrada rock formations that are plentiful in this area. The La Sal Mountain peaks serve as a backdrop. There are many old trails in this area and this trip combines segments of them to create a pleasant and varied experience.

Fallen Officers Trail • Rated 3- Sponsored by Goose Gear

This trail is just north of Arches National Park and overlooks the park and the Klondike Bluffs. Watch for dinosaur prints along the trail. If this trail is wet, it can be more difficult than when dry

Cameo Cliffs Trail • Rated 4- Sponsored by JC's British and 4x4

The Cameo Cliffs trail area is some 25 miles south of Moab. This trail is comprised of a combination of several of the old mineral exploration routes. The emphasis for this trip was to provide some mild 4 wheeling while maximizing the stunning views this area offers. Those looking for milder wheeling should enjoy the abundant scenery of this trip.

Copper Ridge Trail • Rated 4-  Sponsored by Shadowmarq

This trail is a combination of several roads north of Moab and near the western boundary of Arches National Park. It lies east of the Moab Fault, so is in younger rock formations than many of our trails. Its slickrock is the top of the Entrada Formation, and its views are often of erosions into that formation.

Backwards Bill Trail • Rated 5- Sponsored by Warner INEOS Grenadier

This trail combines the second half of the Wipe-Out Hill Trail and the first half of the Seven-mile Rim Trail for a more challenging trip that retains much of the scenic highlights of both. Participants need to be aware that all vehicles must ascend Wipe-Out Hill; there is no bypass.

Fins and Things • Rated 4-5- Sponsored by AGILE Off- Road

Fins and Things is a one-way trail. It starts 1.9 miles from the Sand Flats Entrance Station (5 miles from downtown Moab), beside campsite ‘E-6’ in Echo Campground. For trailer parking, please park prior to this on the south side of Sand Flats Road 1.4 miles from Entrance Station. OHVs are permitted on the Sand Flats Road. The trail is marked with metal signs and white symbols painted on the slickrock surface. Due to hazardous terrain, it is recommended only for experienced drivers.

3D trail • Rated 4-5 -Sponsored by RRE Global-Black Sheep Innovations

The 3D Trail Moab tours the vicinity of colorful Hidden Canyon and Brink Spring, exploring the canyon bottom, canyon rim, and a higher overlook of the area. The trail features a mix of sand and rocks, with some challenging hills and obstacles. The trail is suitable for stock vehicles, but some sections may require four-wheel drive and high clearance.

7 Mile Rim • Rated 4–5-Sponsored by Owl Off Road

Many beautiful overlooks and interesting rock formations including Corral Canyon, Monitor and Merrimac Buttes, Determination Towers, Uranium Arch, and Courthouse Rock. The drive itself is interesting as the terrain changes from slick rock to sagebrush to wash bottom. Most of the trail is moderate with just a few difficult spots. Some stock vehicles with very high ground clearance and good articulation can manage this trail. A tough section down to Uranium Arch can be avoided by simply viewing the arch from above. One spot near Merrimac Butte tilts sideways to an extreme degree. The trail can be made much more difficult by driving optional Wipe Out Hill which requires lockers or a winch to get back up.

Behind The Rocks (Tip Toe) • Rated 5- Sponsored by Lyle Pearson INEOS Grenadier

This trail tours the "Behind the Rocks" country just like the regular Behind the Rocks Trail, but only passes near the nasty hills at High Dive Canyon and White Knuckle Hill for the amazement of those who keep their driving at the lower rated trails.

Hell’s Revenge • Rating 5 - Sponsored by Leitner Designs

The trail is as beautiful as it is confusing. It has a high vantage point with beautiful views of the La Sal Mountains and Grandstaff Canyon to the east and, from the overlook, the Colorado River. The area is also known for the Slickrock Bike Trail which draws avid bikers from all over the world. The biking trail, which is marked with painted white dashed lines crosses the 4-wheel trail several times. Be very careful at the crossing points. We do not offer the following obstacles at Grenadier Oktoberfest: The Escalator, Hell’s Gate, The Staircase, and The Devil’s Hot tub. These obstacles are bypassed for safety and insurance reasons.

Poison Spider Mesa • Rating 6 - Sponsored by Overland Garage 4X4

Poison Spider Mesa forms one of the cliff features that is part of the Moab landscape northwest of town. The mesa is bordered on the east by Moab Valley and on the south by the Colorado River. Access is via Scenic Byway 279.
