Pritchett Canyon
About The Trail
Being one of the most technically challenging trails Moab has to offer, this ride is reserved for a select few whose machines are heavily modified and whose rock crawling skills are above average. This trail will test you and your machine to the limits, however the payoff is well worth it as you overcome each iconic obstacle.
Trail Requirements
Trail consists of rock, sand and considerable slickrock with many steps exceeding 30″. Steep inclines and declines are prevalent. Enhanced off road equipment is required including machine minimum 64″ wide, tall tires (35″+ required), onboard spare tire and axles, winch, maximized vehicle ground clearance and suspension travel. Roll over and vehicle damage likely.
