Location: Moab
The awe-inspiring canyon country around Moab, Utah is interlaced with a vast network of unpaved backroads. Some are mild and relatively easy while others offer heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat 4WD excitement. It’s a big country, and most trails are by-products of the 1950’s uranium boom, today re-purposed as recreational trails. Here you’ll find sand, slick-rock, broken talus, impossibly steep climbs, hair-raising descents, cliff-hanging ledges, hundred-mile views, native rock-art, dinosaur tracks, and, just for fun, the occasional patch of quicksand.
