Hell's Revenge is Moab's most famous slickrock trail, a 6.5-mile playground of petrified sand dunes that showcases everything that makes Utah wheeling legendary. The trail climbs across steep sandstone fins, dips into sand-filled bowls, and winds past sheer drop-offs with views of the Colorado River far below. Named obstacles like Hell's Gate, Escalator, and Tip-Over Challenge have become bucket-list features for off-roaders worldwide. The unique Navajo Sandstone provides remarkable traction when dry, allowing vehicles to ascend seemingly impossible angles. At every turn, the red rock landscape offers stunning photography opportunities, especially during golden hour when the sandstone glows.
Fun Facts
The slickrock here is actually Navajo Sandstone, about 180 million years old from ancient sand dunes.
Despite the name, the rock provides excellent traction when dry due to its sandpaper-like texture.
The Hell's Gate obstacle was featured in countless magazine covers and videos since the 1970s.
The Colorado River visible from the trail carved the landscape over millions of years.
