OHV & 4x4 Adventures
The off-road capital of the world
Moab is widely considered the off-road capital of the world, and for good reason. The area's slickrock terrain, dramatic canyon roads, and miles of backcountry trails offer some of the most thrilling 4x4 experiences anywhere on Earth. From casual dirt road exploring to extreme rock crawling, there's a trail for every skill level and vehicle type.
Don't have your own 4x4? No problem. Moab has numerous Jeep and UTV rental companies offering everything from stock Wranglers to built rock crawlers. Guided tours are available for those who want an expert behind the wheel, and several outfitters offer ATV and side-by-side tours for a different kind of adventure. The annual Easter Jeep Safari draws thousands of off-road enthusiasts for a week of organized trail runs every spring.
