Each time we go to Moab we're sure to hit some of our favorite trails but we also always like to run a couple of new to us trails when we're there as well... So, we're looking for input. What is your favorite trail in Moab and why? What trail would you send someone on if they had never been to Moab before?

Thanks, Eric

I like the scenic trails like Hell's Revenge  over the more technical trails like Prichett Canyon .

I think we ought to have the scenic trails early in the week and the more techincal ones later.  That way any carnage will hopefully be postponed until the end of the week.

I too like those trails... The only problem with running Prichett late in the week is it becomes a parking lot but I do see what you're saying. It'd be a drag to break right away and not be able to get 'er back together for the rest of the week.

I really enjoyed riding Hells Revenge on my first day of group riding.... after a couple of days playing on easier trails, that made me realize what my Kick could do out there giving me MUCH more confidence for the rest of the week....

How about Hell's Revenge on Tues and Pritchett on Thurs or Friday?

I've always felt that Hell's Revenge is the trail that most typifies Moab.  I consider it imperative that whenever I go to Moab I run it, and always tell friends when they go to Moab they have to run HR.  It has all the steep slickrock, scenery, off camber, and technical optionals to make anybody appreciate what Moab has to offer that is different than most other name brand trail systems. (Of course... St. George  has a fair amount of similar terrain, also.

Yeah, one year I was on an EJS run up Pritchett and blew the 4:1 tcase output shaft on the first ledge up.  I had to park the Jeep in the truck and spend the rest of EJS as a passenger.  Argh! 

Come to think of it, that was the last time I ran Pritchett. 

Yeah, I bent my rear axle housing on Prichett Canyon and had to drive back thru all obstacles and winched out. The next day it snowed so the whole week was a wash. 

Thursday is one of the few days the Red Rock 4 Wheelers aren't using the trail. As to why it's a traffic jam every year. My toyota friends and I usally run it every year on Thursday. Don't think I will be joining them this year if they end up doing it. It's not worth it.

As for favorite trails, It will have to be Fins N' Things and Rusty Nail. Pritchett is on the list, but not during the safari.

Yeah, I was just talking with one of the guys today about which renegade runs we want to take, and I said "I like Pritchett and Golden Spike, but they are sooooo much more fun not during safari.  We decided to go with some of the "other" trails that don't get all the traffic, like Rusty Nail, Metal Masher, and Rose Garden Hill.  On Thursday Pritchett will have all the renegades in town on it.  Not worth the pain.

Hells revenge, Prichett ,Golden spike ,and rim are all a must for me.

x2 for Golden Spike, Hells Revenge and Moab Rim.
We usually run Fins 'n Things at night to be adventurous...

We'll be on dual sports this year and hoping to see some new stuff.
Never tried slickrock on a bike, so it will be a new experience.
