Moab: Hell's Revenge UTV Tour & Fins N Things Drive

Summary

Moab off-road adventure with wild trails and real stories

You’ll drive your own UTV across Moab’s famous Hell’s Revenge trail, following a local guide through steep climbs and slickrock ridges. Expect sweaty palms, epic views toward Arches, and plenty of laughs (sometimes at yourself). Water’s included—and so are those moments when you realize you’re braver than you thought.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the red dust—everywhere, even before we got in the Kawasaki. Our guide, Mike, grinned at us like he knew something we didn’t. He probably did. We buckled in, helmets a bit too tight (or maybe my head’s just weird), and then he led us out onto Hell’s Revenge. I could hear the crunch of gravel under the tires and this weird silence that settles over the desert when you’re not talking. You kind of forget how big Moab feels until you’re halfway up a rock wall, staring at nothing but sky for a second. My hands were sweaty on the wheel—I’m not gonna lie.

Mike kept calling out tips over the radio—“Ease into it! Trust your tires!”—and sometimes I’d laugh because it sounded so casual for what felt like driving straight into Mars. We stopped once on a ridge where you could see forever (or at least to Arches in the distance), and I just sat there breathing in that dry, sun-baked smell. There was this couple from Denver with us; they high-fived after every gnarly bit, which made me feel less self-conscious about how much my heart was pounding. The wind picked up and whistled through the roll cage—tiny things like that stick with you.

I didn’t expect to learn anything about geology, but Mike pointed out these weird ripple marks in the rock—said they were from ancient oceans or something wild like that. He handed around bottled water (tasted way better than usual after all that dust). At one point I tried to pronounce “Fins N Things” in my best Utah accent and failed spectacularly—got a good laugh from everyone though. The tour is about 3.5 hours but honestly time got weird out there; it could’ve been twenty minutes or an entire afternoon.
