Moab, Utah, offers some of the best, most scenic off-roading anywhere. Most of us have at least seen the Lion’s Back Trail on TV, but if you have never seen it, it amounts to a huge rock that is just wide enough to drive up. The best way to get a feel for what this trail is like, is to take your dog’s water bowl, turn it on its side—oops, sorry about the water—and drive your Matchbox Jeep up to the top, now do a Matchbox 68-point turn, and drive back to the bottom. That’s right—not only is it narrow, but on either side is a deadly vertical drop of a couple hundred feet. That’s it, not a lot of skill involved, just nerves. If that does not make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, there is another option called the Backside of Lion’s Back. This time you drive up to the top of a similar rock, only you have to drive through an area where an extra set of underwear is mandatory. |
