I support Rory though, so this could be good for business? 😂

Don't let what anyone says about Fins and Things discourage you from running the trail. It is super fun. Is it as difficult as Hells Revenge? No, but i would not consider Fins and Things 'just a touristy thing'. It gives you an amazing introduction to the (Sand Flats) area.

It’s the same problem with both models. Wheelbase and tire size will be the limiter.

wheelbase as in to long?

Yeah the break over. A 2 door with that same tire size would struggle less, but not a lot less.

Well, I mean, Moab is a giant tourist town. That is the economy for the area, tourism. And one of the big tourist draws is 4-wheeling. There are literally thousands and thousands of miles of trails surrounding Moab, and depending on when you are planning on being there, you'll be hard pressed to have a "quite" day on the trail because there will be many other people out there with you. Its fun, don't get me wrong, but if your worried about something being touristy, Moab and the surrounding area might not be for you.


Sand Flats has lots of trails and camping. You could easily spend several days there and not be bored.

Planing on early September to early Oct.
What are the crowds like then?

Depends on your definition of crowds. Definitely a good time of year, weather will be a bit cool in the morning in October.

Most trails that time of year it shouldn’t be a problem. Popular trails like hells revenge, poison spider you might run into it a bit but shouldn’t be bad. I ran both those trails last October and most of the day we had the trails to ourselves, getting busier the later in the day.
