There’s a time in Hell’s Revenge when the landscape changes from a typical trail. Instead of following a dirt track across the desert, you’re focusing on an extensive sandstone fin and your UTV directed towards the sky.
Then you’ll start climbing. This experience is a reason why Hell’s Retribution Moab is now such well-known among off-road travelers. The trail consists of challenging terrain, Utah scenery and a possibility to experience the red-rock landscape.
You might be driving, but you’re not alone.
T-Rex’s 4-wheeled Tours at the Moab Tourism Center offer a “you-drive” experience, in which guests get the chance to drive the Kawasaki KRX1000 while an experienced tour guide is in charge of the group.

This distinction is crucial. Most travelers prefer driving rather than sit in the passenger seat. But, they might not be familiar with Moab’s Slickrock.
Guided by a professional on professionally guided Moab 4×4 tours, drivers receive real-time instruction and support as they encounter climbing, descending and obstacles on the way. The small size of groups allows guides to provide a more personal attention. This makes it accessible to both first-time UTV users and experts in adventure travel.
Slickrock isn’t exactly what it’s name suggests.
Moab’s well-known “slickrock” could be awe inspiring for newcomers. The term dates back to the first travelers to find rough sandstone difficult to handle for metal-shod horses. Off-roading offers a completely different experience for modern automobiles.
The sensations of driving across the massive sandstone terrain is unlike anything you’ve experienced on a road. The terrain is steeply rising then falls back down, and takes on natural rock formations, rather than the conventional lanes.
Among Moab off road tours, Hell’s Revenge stands apart because the terrain itself becomes such a memorable part of the experience. Drivers don’t just travel through the landscape, they walk straight across it.
It’s a good idea to turn off at times
The driving may command your attention however Hell’s Revenge isn’t only about adrenaline.
This road offers breathtaking views of Moab’s red-rock country including the Colorado River, surrounding desert and overlooks. Echo Canyon and Devil’s Backbone are two of the most prominent features of the region. Dinosaur tracks are located near Lion’s Back. These stops provide natural opportunities to get out, take photographs, and appreciate how unusual the landscape truly is.
Confidence usually builds mile by mile
It’s interesting to see how quickly the driver’s viewpoint can change on a guided Moab UTV tour.
At the bottom of the first uphill sandstone slope, it may appear intimidating. Most drivers come to know the abilities of their vehicle and the best way to tackle the terrain after following instructions and successfully traversing several sections. The change from being unsure to confident is one of the elements that makes the “you-drive” tour different from simply watching someone else take in the path.
Enjoy More Than Only Red Rock Photos
Moab has many ways to appreciate its beauty. You can snap photos of sandstone from picturesque pullouts or trek through the desert.
Hell’s Revenge gives you a different view. You become part of the scenery. T-Rex Tours transforms one of Moab’s most popular trails into a driving adventure. A guide guides the way, and a Kawasaki KRX 1000 is beneath you. The first glimpse of a seemingly impossible sandstone climb could be the thing you’ll remember long after the dust has disappeared.
