Moab Easter Jeep Safari Trail Descriptions - Wipeout Hill Trail

This trail tours a region south of Canyonlands Airport and west of Highway 191. It uses portions of Bartlett Wash, Tusher Canyon, Courthouse Pasture, the south cliff base of Big Mesa, and possibly Gemini Bridges if there is time. Variety is its strong point, with a wide range of scenery and trail surface and a couple of challenging hills.

The Tusher Wash sand hill varies in difficulty with moisture content and recent digging by the heavy-foot crowd (a windstorm will fill it in again). Big tires will help. Wipe-Out Hill is short, but steep with irregular ledges and an abrupt tip-down that could "wipe out" a rocker panel (beware, long vehicles!). It is an exciting trip down and a 4+ rated optional climb back up. Rattlesnake Hill has it bumps spaced just right to catch those who don't have limber suspensions.
