Fins N' Things offers the quintessential Moab experience at a difficulty level accessible to most moderately built 4x4s. The 10-mile trail winds across spectacular sandstone formations featuring the iconic fins that give the trail its name.

The trail showcases the full range of Moab terrain including slickrock, sand bowls, and technical ledges, all without the extreme exposure found on harder trails. It's the perfect first Moab trail for intermediate wheelers or an excellent warm-up before tackling Hell's Revenge.
