Explosions on Hell’s Revenge?

[smfulle]

Just saw a story on kutv 2 news about some explosions/trail rerouting going on at Moab’s Hell’s Revenge.
The news people obviously didn’t know what they were talking about.
Anybody know what’s going on down there?

They’ve been working on the exit, maybe that’s it. And when I say exit I mean a new way back out the entrance.

I heard that too, my wife said "good because the exit sucks and is worse than anything on the trail". I told her it was more than likely due to prevent people from going in the exit and not paying more so than making the exit easier.

I kinda liked the exit. Separates the men from the boys.

I just thought it was annoying, nothing really fun about it, but that's just me.

I just saw a video on FB. They are blasting at the entrance. Video says it is to create an exit option at the entrance to avoid 2 way traffic on the razor back.

Is that at the bottom where the big puddle used to be?

Dave Adams has been sharing info about the reroute on FB over the past few weeks. Seems like a better alternative than other options which included a traffic signal

Especially considering the SXS folks wouldn’t yield to a traffic signal. Lol

Heaven forbid there are tire tracks on dump bump but we can blast the mountainside to have an “exit”! Ridiculous!!

To be fair, Dump Bump, Lions Back and Rubble Trouble belong (belonged) to the State of Utah via SITLA... the feds were not responsible for that closure, well not since they gave it to Utah in 1896

There's more than one exit? Crap I always take the long way out. That's how I blew up my rear axle last time. The exit is harder than the usual bits on the slick rock. I've done it on 31's though, so it can't be that extreme.

My comment on FB was similar. We scream and yell about anyone going ‘off trail’ in the slightest bit.. but don’t care if we litterally blow the rocks up. Seems very hypocritical.

It’s not another exit, it’s another way to exit out the entrance. A lot of vehicles cough side by sides cough are exiting out the entrance to avoid the “real” exit. They’re concerned there will be an accident on the top of the big fin so this is their solution.

Either way their logic is flawed

This is a new exit adjacent to the entrance, and will mostly be used by the commercial tours that go in and out through Sand Flats. The official EJS runs and most exiting will continue out the long, bumpy way.

Side by sides not following established rules of the trail? Color me shocked!

Yup, SxS's are evil and should be banned...just like guns. Because they are both to blame and not the individuals behind them...

It's a numbers game.
