I'm looking at going in the spring although can't commit to those dates right now. Not sure I'll be hitting all the same trails as I've done several before but I am hoping to hit Spider/Spike/GBR again and Pritchett Canyon. From everything I've seen and read, Pritchett is no joke - you'll want to make sure your rig is dialed in and you have F/R lockers.

I'll already be in Moab from 4/12/25 to 4/20/25, so I won't be there the week you are planning to go. I just wanted to mention that Cliff Hanger is also a really fun trail. It is actually my favorite. You may want to add that to your list instead of Fins and Things, which is kind of boring.

Any trails you suggest over others are welcomed.

Steel Bender and Metal Masher are fairly similar in difficulty. Metal Masher is a little more difficult, and I think it has better obstacles. Steel Bender has better scenery in the canyon portion at the start of the trail, and the big obstacle on that trail is a huge ledge you drop off of at the end. Of the two I prefer Metal Masher.

Fins and things can easily be done the same day as Hell's Revenge. You might even be able to add in Poison Spider that day if you started early. Or, if you are doing Golden Spike, then just do Poison Spider and Gold Bar Rim the same day. That will be a full day.

If you are still in the mood for 4-wheeling when you get to the top of Yellow Hill in Pritchet you can take Hunter Canyon to the base of White-Knuckle Hill, then take Behind the Rocks trail backwards to where it bisects the county road and take the county road to the sand dunes and back to the highway. I have done Pritchet and all of Behind the Rocks backwards in a day, but that makes for a long and tiring day, and it is usually getting dark by the time you finish.

Lots of different ways to do the trails and have a good time. It also depends on what the rest of your group wants to do.

Have fun in Moab. The Moab Diner is the best place for breakfast.

Interested.
Have to see how things play out in the spring.

Top of the World

Doesn’t mean I’ll knock them all out but I’m thinking 2-3 in one day and maybe a couple more another. The goal is 6 trails.

Try Capital Reef...we just got back from there...and it is off the charts and not as crowded as Moab. Really is the best kept secret. We stayed at Cougar Ridge lodge...that was also amazing.

Fins n things and hell’s revenge should be done in the same day, they’re right next to each other. Elephant hill is like 70 miles from Moab and it’s a mission to get there. Poison spider, gold bar rim are on your list, the trifecta is like an 11 hour day so that’s a whole day. Just keep that in mind. Metal masher and steel bender can be done together as well.

 

[GMONEY]

I'll have to see if I can get out there at this time

 

[Straitlegg]

I would love to get out there again, first time was a 2 wheel trip and had a blast except getting over the last obstacle on one of the trails (somewhere past golden crack?). was like a 7-8 'ledge seemed almost vertical.

Pritchett Canyon
I may also hit up elephant hill on my way in the day before.

Don’t forget you need a pass for elephant hill. You’re missing a trail on day 2 to complete the trifecta, and I’d do steel bender on day four. Hell’s and Fins is a perfect day. I wouldn’t cram another in there personally.

Yea I saw that for elephant hill so I was going to do that on day 0 of my trip, knock it out, check into room relax, and start the following day for Day 1
