Moab Off Road Trail Spotlight: Hells Revenge

As the premier auto-shop in Moab, we at Dixie 4 Wheel Drive have encountered lots of customers who are curious about the trails in this corner of the country. Since we love going on rock-crawling adventures, we decided to start regular trail riding events to get as many people as possible to enjoy the amazing trails in Southern Utah. Signing up for these trail rides gives you the opportunity to mingle and interact with other avid off-roaders so you can build your confidence and expertise in the outdoors.

Another reason we organize the trail rides is to get people exposed to the different kinds of trails they’d encounter when off-roading in Moab. We make sure to include a variety of trails ranging from the demanding to scenic drives and everything in between. This way everyone who takes part can have some fun while building their off-roading skills.

Read on to find out more on one of Moab’s popular off-roading trails i.e. Hell’s Revenge.

Hell’s Revenge Off Road Trail Overview

Whenever people talk about off-roading in Moab, Hell’s Revenge often crops up and with good reason. Rated 6, this is one of the iconic trails in Southern Utah, drawing avid off-roaders from all around to come and try their luck. The route comprises approximately 12 miles of off-pavement driving over steep climbs and descents as well as nerve-wracking edges that will put your driving skills to the test.

With such hazardous terrain, you can understand why this trail is recommended only for experienced drivers who know what they’re doing. If you’re planning on tackling Hell’s Revenge, ensure that your vehicle has adequate ground clearance with tires that are at least 35”. Front and rear lockers will also come in handy for additional traction on the slickrock.
