Rusty Nail

These are just general write ups.  For how the trail is being ran on the day you sign up be sure & check the forums in the trail section on the day you sign up for.

This trip is designed for the hard core four wheeler that wants to tackle one of the Moab area’s famous tough trail segments. The Rusty Nail segment is combined with a couple of the Golden Spike Trail’s obstacles and the Gold Bar Rim Trail to complete a loop. The Rusty Nail section adds some rather unforgiving climbs and a hairy sidehill section to get the adrenalin pumping.

Scenery: The “usual” Gold Bar Rim scenery, which means sweeping vista that include the Moab Valley, Arches National Park, the LaSal Mountains, the Bookcliffs, and the Colorado River canyon.

Obstacles: Slickrock, steep ledges, large boulders, off camber traverses, and a steep waterfall rock make up this trip. Named Obstacles: Riff Raff, No Left Turn, Golden Spike, Golden Crack, Golden Stairs, Double Whammy, Body Snatcher.

Trail Rating: Black
