Trail Overview

A signature slickrock route with big Moab energy.

Fins & Things gives guests a true Moab slickrock feel without jumping straight into the most intimidating routes. The trail moves across sandstone fins, small climbs, and desert views that make it exciting while still approachable with a Portal guide. It is a strong choice for families, newer off-road drivers, and follow-along guests who want coaching, momentum, and a fun sense of accomplishment.
