The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the red dust—everywhere. We met our guide just outside Moab, helmets in hand, and I could already hear engines humming somewhere up the trail. He grinned and said something about “baby steps” before we even started the UTVs. I’d never driven one before (my hands were actually shaking a bit), but after a couple jerky starts, it felt like steering a big toy car—except we were heading straight up these sandstone fins that looked impossible from below. The sky was that pale blue you only get out west. I kept thinking, “Is this really allowed?” but apparently it’s just another day on Hell’s Revenge.

There were these moments when we’d stop at the top of some ridge and it’d go quiet except for the wind scraping past your helmet. Our guide pointed out dinosaur tracks pressed right into the rock—actual prehistoric footprints just sitting there like nobody told them to be in a museum. He told us stories about old prospectors and river guides from Moab, and I tried to imagine what they’d think of us bouncing around in these machines. The sun made everything look kind of unreal—orange rocks against blue sky—and there was this burnt mineral smell every time we stopped for water (they gave us these branded bottles which I still have rolling around my car). At one point someone in our group got stuck on an obstacle called “the Devil’s Backbone,” which sounds dramatic but honestly just looked like a wobbly spine of stone. We all laughed so hard when they finally made it over—I’m still not sure if my video does it justice.

I didn’t expect to feel so small out there. It’s loud and silly and sometimes you’re just focused on not tipping over, but then you look up and realize how old this place is—dinosaur old. Our guide waved us forward for the last stretch and I remember thinking I’d probably still be picking sand out of my shoes weeks later. Worth it though.

What’s included

Your day includes use of a top-of-the-line UTV (with options for 2, 4 or 6 seats), an English-speaking local guide who leads every step (and tells stories), plus helmet, goggles to keep out all that red dust, and even a reusable Moab Tour Company water bottle to take home—or lose under your car seat later.
