The Experience

Hell's Revenge is the trail Moab is known for, and this tour puts you in the driver's seat instead of along for the ride. You'll follow a guide in your own UTV across steep petrified sand dunes, navigate the terrain yourself, and stop at Echo Canyon and a Colorado River overlook. The guide handles the route and the coaching; you handle the throttle and the line choices. It's not a passenger experience dressed up as an activity—it's the thing itself.

The two and a half hour ride works for novices who can follow instruction and want the adrenaline, not for anyone timid about loose terrain or steep climbs. You'll need a moderate level of fitness to handle the physical demands of driving, and you need to understand English well enough to take safety direction from the guide. Licensed 16- and 17-year-olds can drive with a parent riding as passenger, which makes this a rare family option in Moab. Helmet, goggles, bottled water and a light snack come with the booking; choose a morning departure for the light on the dunes or sunset for the color on the canyon.

The ticket is for one vehicle holding two people. If you want more than one UTV, you'll need to book separate reservations for each one. Pickup and meeting details will come with your confirmation.

Is this one for you?The two and a half hour drive demands moderate fitness and comfort with steep terrain and loose sand, so it suits someone who came to Moab for the off-road experience itself, not for a scenic ride. You're driving, not being driven, which is the whole point—and it's what separates this from a guided tour where you sit as a passenger.

Top questions

Can I drive the UTV if I've never done this before?

Yes. The tour is novice-friendly and includes expert guidance from a live English-speaking guide who will coach you through the terrain. You'll need a moderate level of physical fitness and the ability to understand safety instructions, but prior off-road driving experience is not required.

What is the Hell's Revenge trail actually like to drive?

Hell's Revenge is Moab's most famous off-road route, known for steep petrified sand dunes and dramatic scenery. You'll climb those dunes, pass through Echo Canyon, and reach a Colorado River overlook. It's challenging terrain, which is why the tour is not for the timid, but the guide leads the way and you control the pace.

Can my teenager drive the UTV?

Licensed drivers aged 16 and 17 can drive with a parent or guardian as a passenger in the vehicle. This makes it one of the few ways to put a young driver behind the wheel on a Moab trail.

How long is the ride, and when does it run?

The tour is two and a half hours long. Morning and sunset departures are available, so you can choose the light and the time that fit your day.

What's included in the ticket price?

The ticket covers one two-seat UTV for two guests, helmet and goggles, bottled water, a light snack, and a guide leading the way. The reservation is for a single vehicle; if you want multiple UTVs, you'll need to book a separate ticket for each one.

Do I need to understand English to take this tour?

Yes. Due to the rugged terrain and safety requirements, you must be able to understand instructions from the guide in English. This is a safety condition, not a preference.
