Behind The Rocks

Behind The Rocks is where Moab's untamed heart beats loudest for those with a taste for off-road adventure. This trail isn't your average Sunday drive; it's a full-on, white-knuckle thrill ride designed to push you and your rig to the limits. Think of it as the ultimate test of your off-roading mettle, set against a backdrop so stunning it looks like it's been lifted straight out of a Western epic.

Now, let's get one thing straight: Behind The Rocks isn't for rookies. This trail demands respect, skill, and a rig that's up for the challenge. You'll face everything from sand traps to boulder fields, steep drops to tight squeezes. And then there's White Knuckle Hill – a name that's not an exaggeration. Picture this: you're at the top, looking down a near-vertical drop, with nothing but your rig's guts and your own gumption to rely on. Make it down, and you've earned serious bragging rights.

But Behind The Rocks isn't just about testing your limits; it's about experiencing some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful backcountry you can imagine. This trail takes you through landscapes that'll have you stopping just to soak it all in (and maybe snap a few pics for those unlucky enough to stay home). The contrast of red rock against the blue sky, the quiet majesty of the desert – it's all part of the package.

Prep is key. Your rig needs to be kitted out with the right gear – think off-road tires, recovery tools, and protection for the underbelly. And since this trail is a bit off the beaten path, don't go it alone. Bring buddies, pack enough supplies to handle the unexpected, and always leave the trail as pristine as you found it.

So, if you're the type who hears the call of the wild as a challenge, Behind The Rocks is your kind of place. It's where you go to test your skills, pit yourself against nature, and maybe, just maybe, find out what you're really made of. All against some of the most spectacular scenery this side of Mars.
