Trail Details

All trails rated on the 1-5 scale. Trail space is limited, so register today! Be sure to review the vehicle requirements and trail rating information to ensure you and those with you have a good time on the trail.

Honeymoon Trail: Rated 2 Steep and narrow trail with off camber sections. This is a really scenic drive that gives you the chance to see Southern Utah's majestic views and landscapes.

Sliplock Gulch: Rated 2.5 with 3.5 options
Trail begins with a run through some sand dunes. Highlights: Three waterfalls with the second being the most treacherous. There are a series of cracks and climbs to negotiate. Most obstacles have a bypass. Possible hot tub at end if time allows. Finish on Johnny's trail if time and weather permits.

Fault Line (depending on weather conditions), West Rim, Rock Garden: Rated 3.5+
This is trail is the most popular and will have a limit on group size. Trail has a lot of slick rock and some nice challenges up the Fault Line Trail. The West Rim Trail has many obstacles but ends with many great obstacles at the Rock Garden. Bypasses are available for most of the difficult obstacles.

Milt's Mile: Rated 3 to 3.5 Fee Area, Flags required
Challenging run with some tough obstacles, some obstacles have a bypass. Trail ends at the sand dunes. Nice views of Pine Valley Mountain and Sand Hollow Reservoir.

The Maze: Rated 4+
Similar to West Rim but has more challenges. Lots of steep descents and climbs, and off camber situations. Usually has at least one break down. We will do the first half and if time permits will continue to the second half (rarely ran). NO Bypasses.

Warner Valley: Rated 4+ possible 4.5
A series of short trails with the focus on many challenging obstacles. We start at Washington Dam and go toward Warner Valley. Will do as many trails as time allows and ends back at Washington Dam.

John's Trail: Rated 4, a 4 rated trail with 4+ and 5 optional obstacles.
There are off camber sections and really soft sand spots. This trail is one obstacle after another and will really test your suspension. Body damage and rollovers are possible. This is definitely no Sunday drive.

Buggy Trail: Rated 5+, 10 buggies only
The first 10 Buggies to sign up get first shot, if the trail leader does not approve your vehicle it will not be allowed on the trail.
