This is a rugged jeep route which bears a lot of resemblance to the traditional Porcupine Rim route. There is an initial climb of 1,000 feet in the first four miles and 1,500 ft of descending over the last six. There are ledges galore along the way, both going up and down, and plenty of play areas and stunt opportunities. There is also deep sand intermixed with the slickrock.
This is an awesome trail and a truly hidden gem among Moab's more well known rides. The slickrock is fantastic, the scenery exceptional, even by Moab standards, and the descents on the north half are crazy good. You can play on ledges and rock all day here.
This is mostly an advanced trail, but a fit and adventurous intermediate can have a great time here as well. There is one significant creek crossing at the beginning and three more toward the end, so be prepared to get wet.
If you're looking for something in Moab you haven't done before, or are just looking to escape the crowds and still get in a great Moab ride, then the poorly named Flat Pass (which is anything but flat) is your ticket.
