Best or Favorite Medium Trails in Moab

[ID Bronco]

I've been to Moab many, many times but always had a really built rig. Going in a couple of weeks with a rented Rubicon on 37's and a 4 runner with a rear locker on 35's and sas. We only have two days to wheel and I'm looking for suggestions on trails that will be fun, challenging but not what I used to do. No damage will be nice with our limited schedule.

What are your favorites?

Thanks!

I have always liked Metal Masher. It isn't super challenging if you don't do the optional obstacles (Rock Chucker and Widow Maker) but it has enough challenge to be fun.

Hell's Revenge or even Fins n Things is always a favorite in moderate rigs

Poison Spider and Flat Iron Mesa.

My favorite trail in the area is Elephant Rock. Its fun to do an overnighter there and to also play in the narrow area.

Thank you for the responses. Metal Masher is on my list, I did it 10 years ago but did Rockchucker and the other obstacles. I do remember it fondly. I'll check out all the other options.

Onion Creek and Top of the World!

Steel bender is a favorite of mine. I haven’t don’t it since the early 2000s though so it may have changed.

They told us it's dug out at the bottom of the Fall real bad these days. I did it for the first time this year.

Yea, I wouldn't include steel bender on the medium chart anymore. It has a few dificult obstacles with no bypass.

Kane Creek used to be a Medium trail, the climb out has gotten ugly so not sure if it still qualifies, you could always turn around if you didn't want to do it.

If you go to Moab and don’t do Hell’s did you really even go to Moab? I’m just sayin...

Kane Creek was first on my list, but it's prohibited by the rental place

Thanks, I've done Hell's many times. For my BIL you're probably right. He'll probably want to. (escalator and hells gate are prohibited also)

I’m a Poison Spider fan personally.

Ran Poison Spider on Friday, it's been years since I was on it. I can't believe how much it has changed. It was a lot harder than I remembered it.

 

[ID Bronco]

it looks like we are going to shoot for Hells Revenge, and Top of the world on day one and Metal masher and poison spider on day 2

Will anyone be in Moab on the 7,8 of May and want to join us? Let me know if you are.

Thanks

Rusty nail and Pritchett were always my go to's

Those are my favorites too, but the rental restricts both of those trails. I'm getting excited, haven't been down there for about 6 years.

Ahh, yes rentals. I'd be interested to see how you like them. I've thought about doing the same
