Hell’s Revenge has a point that the landscape no longer appears to be a typical trail. Instead of following a dirt road across the desert, you’re looking up an expansive sandstone fin, with your UTV facing the sky.
Then you begin to climb. This experience is a reason why Hell’s Retribution Moab is now such well-known among travelers who travel off-road. The trail is made up of technical terrain, Utah scenery and a chance to see the red-rock landscape.
You may be driving, but you’re not alone.
T-Rex Tours, which is located at the Moab Tourism Center, offers guests a unique experience where they are able to ride a Kawasaki KRX1000 UTV and have an experienced guide who leads the group.

The distinction is vital. Many travelers would prefer the thrill of driving, rather than sitting in a seat, but they may not be familiar with Moab’s slickrock.
On professionally guided Moab 4×4 tours drivers can receive live instruction and assistance as they navigate ascents, descents and obstacles along the route. The small group size allows for more personal attention from guides, making it attainable to experienced adventurers as well as first-time UTV riders.
Slickrock: It’s not what its name suggests.
Moab’s “slickrock” is a popular attraction that can surprise visitors. Its name originates from ancient travelers who struggled to ride metal-shod horse over the plain stone. For modern off-road vehicles, the experience is different.
Driving on these enormous sandstone surfaces creates sensations you aren’t likely to encounter on the road. The terrain is soaring, falls away, and follows natural rock formations rather than typical roads.
Hell’s Revenge, among Moab’s many off road tours stands out because of how the terrain is an integral aspect of the tour. Drivers don’t simply travel across the landscape, they walk through the terrain.
Look Away From the Trail Sometimes
The driving can grab your attention however Hell’s Revenge isn’t only about adrenaline.
The road offers amazing views of Moab as well as its red-rock country and surrounding desert. Echo Canyon, Devil’s Backbone and authentic dinosaur tracks at Lion’s Back are all features of the region. It’s an excellent idea to take a break and capture photos and enjoy the stunning scenery.
Confidence often builds mile by mile
One of the interesting things about guided Moab UTV tours is how quickly a driver’s perspective can change.
From the top of the first steep sandstone climb, it may appear intimidating. Following the instructions and crossing various sections of slickrock many drivers begin to better be aware of what the vehicle could accomplish and how it should approach the terrain. The change from being unsure to confident is among the elements that makes an “you-drive” tour different from simply watching someone else go on the trail.
Enjoy More Than Only Red Rock Photos
Moab offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery. You can hike through desert terrain or capture Sandstone structures from scenic pullouts.
Hell’s Revenge offers another perspective in that you are able to take part in the scenery. T-Rex Tours’ Kawasaki KRX 1000 and an instructor who will lead the trail turn one of Moab’s most well-known trails into something you could actually drive. Long after the dust has gone the first sight of the seemingly unattainable sandstone incline could be your vacation that you remember best.
