Behind the Rocks Jeep Adventure
A private guided adventure through one of Moab’s most rugged trail areas, known for technical ledges, sandstone obstacles, desert views, and a true backcountry feel.
About This Adventure
Behind the Rocks is one of Moab’s legendary trail areas, offering rugged terrain, technical obstacles, and expansive desert scenery south of town.
This experience is designed for guests who want a serious Moab Jeep adventure with more challenge, more remote-feeling terrain, and the confidence of professional local guidance throughout the route.
Trail Highlights
Technical Ledges
The trail includes rock ledges and obstacle sections that require careful line selection and controlled driving.
Sandstone Obstacles
Classic Moab sandstone creates memorable climbs, descents, and rock features throughout the route.
High Dive & Upchuck Area
Depending on vehicle capability, guest comfort, and trail conditions, your guide may include views of or access near some of the area’s most famous obstacle zones.
Expansive Desert Views
The route offers wide-open views across Moab’s desert basin, sandstone domes, and distant red rock formations.
Remote Backcountry Feel
Behind the Rocks feels more rugged and less polished than many of Moab’s closer-in routes, giving the day a true adventure feel.
Advanced Terrain With Calm Guidance
Behind the Rocks rewards patience, experience, and good judgment. Your guide will manage the route, choose appropriate lines, and adapt the day to your group, vehicle capability, and trail conditions.
The goal is a memorable, capable, and controlled Moab trail experience — not a rushed or pressured day on the rocks.
