Visitors: annual Easter Jeep Safari trail restrictions
MOAB, Utah – The BLM reminds visitors to expect traffic and trail congestion during the Easter Jeep Safari event, starting Saturday, April 12, through Sunday, April 20.
In addition, eight of the most popular four-wheel drive trails are available only to event participants while those trails are in use by the Safari. Those trails include Behind the Rocks, Cliffhanger, Gold Bar Rim, Golden Spike, Moab Rim, Poison Spider Mesa, and Pritchett Canyon. Below is a schedule of the exclusive use (applies to motorized users only) trails during the event:
X = Use only by Red Rock 4-Wheelers
Each year, thousands of off-highway vehicle users travel to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari, a nine-day, permitted event organized by Red Rock 4-Wheelers. Participants drive guided “runs” on 40 designated trails suited to different skill levels.
To help manage recreation impacts and ensure public safety, Red Rock 4-Wheelers operates under a BLM-issued special recreation permit. Permits allow the BLM to balance large-scale recreation events with resource protection by implementing measures such as temporary trail restrictions and route management strategies.
