What Is Easter Jeep Safari?

Easter Jeep Safari—affectionately known as EJS—is like the Super Bowl of off-roading. It all started back in 1967, when the Moab Chamber of Commerce organized a one-day trail ride  on the trail "Behind the Rocks" as a way to celebrate the stunning red rock landscape and attract outdoor enthusiasts to the area. What began with a handful of rigs and an ice cream drop  during lunch from an airplane (yep, seriously) has evolved into a full-blown nine-day event, now hosted and expertly run by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers, Inc.

In 2025, Easter Jeep Safari runs from April 12th through April 20th, ending on Easter Sunday. Each day features a selection of guided trail rides ranging from easy scenic routes to white-knuckle crawls up slickrock formations and tough sandstone canyons. Participants register for specific trails in advance, and groups are limited in size to keep things safe, social, and well-paced.

And here’s a biggie: you don’t need a Jeep to attend. Despite the name, EJS welcomes all street-legal 4x4 vehicles—trucks, buggies, and built-out overlanders are all fair game, as long as they meet the trail requirements. Whether you're rocking a vintage Land Cruiser, a full-size Bronco, or a Frankenstein rock buggy with license plates, you're in.

It’s not just about the wheeling either. The entire town of Moab becomes a hub of off-road culture. Vendor expos, meetups, trail talk, and a killer raffle round out the experience. It's the kind of event that brings people back year after year—and for many, it's the highlight of their off-roading season.

Where is Easter Jeep Safari Held: Moab, Utah

If you’ve never been to Moab, imagine the surface of Mars—only with better traction and way more horsepower. This little desert town in southeastern Utah is world-famous for its rugged terrain, towering red cliffs, and surreal slickrock landscapes that seem like they were made specifically for off-roading. During Easter Jeep Safari, Moab turns into a full-on 4x4 mecca. Every parking lot, side street, and gas station is packed with lifted rigs, rock crawlers, and purpose-built trail machines from all over the country.

The heart of the event is the Spanish Trail Arena, located just a few miles south of downtown off Highway 191. That’s where you’ll check in for the event, pick up your registration packet, and roam through the massive vendor exposition on Thursday and Friday. From gear giveaways to show-stopping builds, the arena is buzzing with off-road energy and it’s the perfect place to meet fellow enthusiasts, talk shop, and maybe score a few deals on gear you’ve been eyeballing.

Beyond that, the town of Moab itself is all-in on EJS. You’ll see local shops flying Jeep flags, restaurants offering trail lunch deals, and even car washes running extended hours to help get the red dirt off your rig at the end of the day. Trails branch out in all directions—from scenic drives to hair-raising climbs like Hell’s Revenge and Golden Spike—and no matter where you look, there’s bound to be a convoy rolling out or coming back in, covered in dust and full of stories.

Whether you’re out on the trail or just soaking up the atmosphere, Moab during Easter Jeep Safari is a vibe all its own. It really feels like a whole new town!

What to Expect on the Trails

Trail day at Easter Jeep Safari kicks off bright and early. You’ll meet up with your assigned group at a designated trailhead (trail locations and departure times are listed in the official EJS Safari magazine and online registration portal). Once you get there, it’s time to air down your tires for better traction, sign the waivers, and get your ride ready to go. Expect to be greeted by a team of volunteers that includes a trail leader, mid-pack coordinators, and a tail gunner—these folks are experienced, organized, and there to help guide the entire crew through every obstacle safely and smoothly. Here’s how a typical day looks:

Arrive Early

  • Plan to roll in at least 45 to 60 minutes early. That gives you time to air down, meet the crew, chat with other drivers, and get last-minute tips from your trail leader. If you're late, you're starting at the back—and potentially missing critical info before the group moves out.

Departure = On Time

  • Trail groups roll out right on schedule—no joke. If the trail departs at 9:00 AM, you better be in line and ready to go, because they leave on the dot. And trust us, you don’t want to be racing to catch up with a caravan of 30+ rigs over slickrock. Punctuality is the name of the game for this event!

Trail Time: 3 to 8 Hours

  • The total ride time depends on the trail rating, number of vehicles, and how many times folks stop for spotting, repairs, or photos (spoiler: it’ll be a lot). Easier trails might wrap by early afternoon, while tougher runs can stretch into the evening—especially if there’s carnage or recovery involved. Be prepared for a full day of riding.

Lunch Stop

  • Around noon, the group usually pulls over for a lunch break. This is your time to relax, refuel, and connect with others in the group. Most folks pack a cooler with sandwiches, jerky, and hydration—bring plenty of water, Gatorade, or electrolytes, especially if it’s hot out. It’s also a great time to snap photos, make quick fixes, or just soak in the scenery.

The Wrap-Up

  • Most groups finish by mid to late afternoon, but don’t make hard dinner plans. Sometimes a flat tire, a recovery, or just a bigger group can stretch the ride well past 4 or 5 PM. Be flexible and enjoy the ride—it’s all part of the experience.

From start to finish, trail days at EJS are all about community, confidence-building, and good vibes on the rocks. Whether you’re a seasoned vet or totally new to wheeling, the support system and structure make it feel welcoming—and a hell of a lot of fun.

Vehicle Requirements and Trail Ratings

One of the coolest parts of Easter Jeep Safari is the variety of trails available—there’s truly something for every skill level and every kind of rig. But before you hit “register,” you’ll want to understand how the trail rating system works and make sure your vehicle meets the minimum gear requirements. Nothing kills the fun faster than finding out you’re under-equipped at the start of a gnarly run.

Trail Rating System (1–10)

Each trail in the EJS lineup is assigned a difficulty rating from 1 to 10:

  • 1–3: Beginner-Friendly
    These trails are more like scenic drives with some light off-road flavor. Expect dirt roads, mild grades, and maybe a few small rocks or sandy washes. Perfect if you’re new to the off-road world or just want to take it easy while soaking up the scenery.

  • 4–6: Intermediate
    This is where things start to get interesting. You’ll encounter small to medium ledges, tight turns, and some basic rock crawling. These trails require a bit more attention, and some might have a few optional obstacles to test your skills.

  • 7–9: Advanced
    Now we’re talking. These trails bring the heat with big ledges, off-camber climbs, slickrock stair steps, and obstacle sections that’ll test both your vehicle and your nerves. Lockers, aggressive tires, and underbody protection are highly recommended—if not required.

  • 10: Extreme
    Trails rated a 10 are typically reserved for hardcore crawlers and are NOT part of official EJS bookings. These are the playgrounds for tube buggies and ultra-built rigs running in private groups on non-EJS days.

Know Your Rig (and Yourself)

For trails rated 6 and above, your vehicle is required to have a front locker to book through the EJS system. The registration portal will actually block you from signing up if your profile doesn’t show it. But here’s the reality: some people run those trails without a front locker, relying on smart lines, experience, and spotters. Just not during EJS.

That said—don’t push it just to prove something. Moab is beautiful, but it’s not forgiving. Trail damage, breakage, or winch-worthy mistakes happen when people overestimate their setup or trail-readiness. If this is your first time, you will learn what to do for the years ahead. Play it cool. Play it safe.

Pro Tip:

If you think you and your rig can handle a 6, book a 5. Give yourself some margin to have fun without stressing about every single obstacle.

It’s way more fun to crush a trail and gain confidence than to get stuck halfway up a ledge wondering what broke. Plus, with a little breathing room, you can enjoy the scenery, chat with fellow drivers, and really get the most out of the experience.

If you’re unsure where your vehicle falls on the capability spectrum, EJS has solid descriptions of each trail on their website, including obstacle previews, required equipment, and GPS maps. And if you’re still not sure? Hit up a Red Rock 4-Wheelers forum or group—plenty of folks are happy to help a fellow wheeler figure out the right trail for their first (or tenth) run.

Where to Stay During Easter Jeep Safari

Locking down your lodging for Easter Jeep Safari is one of the most important steps in your trip planning—and one of the first things you should do. Moab fills up quickly for this event. We're talking about a complete town takeover. Hotel rooms, Airbnbs, campsites—you name it—get booked solid months in advance, sometimes even a year out. If you're reading this and haven't figured out where you're staying yet, get on it now. And start planning your itinerary now for 2026.

***Reserve early—locations can sell out up to a year in advance! You’ve been warned.***

Here’s the rundown of your options, along with a few tips that could save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.

Hotels and Airbnbs

If convenience is your top priority and you want to be right in the middle of the action, staying in downtown Moab or close to the Spanish Trail Arena is ideal. But be ready to pay for that convenience. Rates during Easter Jeep Safari skyrocket, often ranging from $300 to $500+ per night, especially for well-rated properties with good parking and trailer access.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Look for places with trailer parking if you're hauling your rig.

  • Many accommodations require multi-night minimums during EJS.

  • Book directly with the property when you can—sometimes you’ll score better cancellation terms or avoid added fees.

RV Parks

There are multiple RV parks and campgrounds in and around Moab that cater to the off-road crowd. They typically offer water, electrical hookups, and dump stations—some even have showers and Wi-Fi. Just know that April is prime time, and spaces fill fast.

Expect April rates to be higher than normal, but if you’ve got an RV or trailer setup, this can still be a more comfortable (and potentially cheaper) option than hotels.

Well-known spots include:

Dispersed Camping

For the budget-conscious or the rugged adventurer, BLM (Bureau of Land Management) camping is a solid option. Moab is surrounded by public land where dispersed camping is allowed—meaning minimal designated campsites, minimal services, almost no amenities. Just pick a legal spot or campground, follow the rules, and enjoy the wide-open views.

A few ground rules:

  • It’s pack-in, pack-out—bring your own water, firewood, and a toilet setup if vault toilets don’t exist.

  • Respect posted signage and stay off protected soil.

  • Camping close to trailheads can fill up early, so have a Plan B.

Not only is it free or low-cost for campgrounds, but it also gets you into the spirit of off-grid trail life. Just be sure to follow Leave No Trace practices—because these lands won’t stay open if we abuse them.

Staying Further Out

If everything closer to town is booked or blowing up your budget, don’t panic—there are alternatives outside Moab. Places like Thompson Springs, Green River, or even Monticello have more availability and lower rates, especially for RVs or hotel stays.

The trade-off? You’ll be commuting anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes to get to your daily trailhead or the event venue. But if you don’t mind an early morning drive, this can be a solid way to save money and dodge the in-town chaos.

Pro Tips for Lodging:

  • Book early: Ideally 6–12 months out. The earlier the better.

  • Look for cancellation flexibility: Just in case your plans change.

  • Think about parking: If you’re bringing a trailer or a tow rig, make sure your stay can accommodate it.

  • Split costs: Traveling with friends? Split a house or site for a more affordable setup.

No matter where you sleep—hotel room, rooftop tent, or under the stars—it’s all about waking up ready to hit the trail. The memories are priceless if you’re prepared the right way.

Which EJS Trails to Choose?

Moab’s trail system is nothing short of iconic. If you’ve spent any time in the off-road scene, chances are you’ve seen rigs flexing on ledges, hanging tires over cliffs, or perched on sandstone domes with panoramic views—all taken somewhere in this legendary red rock playground. With over 30 official Easter Jeep Safari trails to choose from and dozens more available year-round, it can be tough to know where to start—especially if this is your first time.

Here’s a list of some highly recommended trails for first-timers, with a mix of scenic, beginner-friendly terrain and a few that let you flex your rig without getting in over your head.

Secret Spire

If you’re looking for something scenic and mellow to get your feet wet, Secret Spire is a solid pick. This trail is light on technical obstacles but heavy on the views, winding through open desert terrain, sandstone domes, and striking rock formations. The payoff is the namesake “Secret Spire,” a towering hoodoo that looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. It’s perfect for stock vehicles, beginners, or anyone wanting a relaxed day with plenty of photo ops and room to explore on foot..

3D or Cameo Cliffs

These are ideal entry-level to intermediate trails with a little bit of everything—light technical terrain, wide-open high desert views, and some cool rock features. Cameo Cliffs has a bonus ladder-accessible hike into a sandstone bowl formation that feels like stepping into another world. Both trails are out of the main Moab chaos and give you room to breathe while still offering a legit day on the trail.

Chicken Corners

Want jaw-dropping views without technical drama? This is your trail. Chicken Corners follows a narrow shelf road along a cliffside with stunning scenery the whole way. There aren’t many major obstacles, so it’s perfect for newer drivers—but if you’re not a fan of heights, this one might test your nerves. Don’t let the name scare you though—it’s a favorite for a reason.

Poison Spider Mesa

Now we’re talking about a Moab classic! Poison Spider is a step up in difficulty, usually rated a 6, but packed with optional obstacles that make it a ton of fun no matter your skill level. You'll hit waterfalls, slickrock climbs, sandy sections, and ledges that give your suspension a workout. It also features bypasses for most of the more challenging spots, so you can take it easy—or get spicy, depending on your mood.

Deadman Point

For a trail that delivers that big-view energy without the intense technical climb, Deadman Point is a great alternative. The route features moderate terrain, including slickrock, sand, and a few ledges—nothing too wild, but enough to make it fun. The trail ends with a jaw-dropping overlook above the Green River, offering wide panoramic views that are just as dramatic as the more famous ledges in the area. You won’t find as much Instagram hype here, but that just means fewer crowds and more time to soak it all in. Give yourself at least one day away from the busy crowded trails.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Overbook Yourself

It’s tempting to fill your calendar with trail after trail, but don’t do it. Many newcomers burn themselves out by day three and start skipping rides. Trail days are long, and navigating slickrock all day in the sun can take it out of you—mentally and physically. Seriously, we mean it, pace yourself. 

Build in some rest days, and leave a few open for spontaneous runs with new friends you meet throughout the week. Some of the best memories come from unplanned convoys that hit lesser-known trails outside the official event. Plus, you’ll want time to hit the vendor show, wrench if something breaks, or just kick back at camp and talk trail with your neighbors. Some of our most fond memories come from these spontaneous moments at EJS. 

What to Pack For Easter Jeep Safari

If you take one thing away from this section, let it be this: Moab doesn’t care about your weather app! This high desert terrain can throw a full four-season mix at you in the span of a single trail day. We’re talking sunshine one minute, sideways wind the next, and the very real chance of springtime snow or flash rain. Bottom line? Come prepared. Check Moab, Utah weather HERE.

Easter Jeep Safari trail runs are full-day commitments once you’re out there. There are no snack shacks, fuel stops, or corner stores between obstacles—so having the right gear in your rig makes the difference between an awesome day and a sketchy one.

Must-Have Gear

Water, Snacks, and a Packed Lunch
Staying hydrated is non-negotiable, especially in dry air and high elevation. Bring more water than you think you’ll need, plus trail snacks (jerky, nuts, energy bars) and a solid lunch. Most groups stop mid-trail to eat, so be ready to tailgate.

Layers: Jackets, Hats, Gloves
Mornings can be frosty. Afternoons can be blazing. And if the wind kicks up on a mesa, you’ll be wishing you had more than a hoodie. Dress in layers you can shed or add as needed. Don’t forget gloves for winching or spotting work.

Sunscreen and Sunglasses
Moab sun reflects off everything—slickrock, sand, and even snow. Sunburn sneaks up quickly. Protect your skin and eyes, even if the sky is overcast.

Trail-Rated CB Radio
Yes, EJS still uses CB radios to communicate between trail leaders, mid-packers, and tail gunners. It’s how you’ll hear about upcoming obstacles, trail history, recovery needs, or even some dad jokes over the airwaves. Test your CB setup before heading out—this isn’t the time for radio silence.

Recovery Gear
Even mild trails can throw curveballs. Always pack:

  • Tow straps

  • Soft shackles or D-ring shackles

  • A tire deflator

  • Portable air compressor

  • A jack and traction boards if you’ve got them. You may not need them—but if you do, you’ll be glad they’re in the back.

Trail Tools and Spare Parts
At a minimum, bring basic tools like:

  • Wrenches

  • Sockets

  • Pliers

  • Hammer

Spare parts like a serpentine belt, u-joints, and fuses can be lifesavers. Even if you’re not the one using them, someone in your group might need a hand. And you'll be there to save the day!

Wet Wipes and Trash Bags
No matter how clean your trail lunch starts out, something’s gonna get dirty. Wet wipes are also essential after trail breaks (more on that below). Bring a few small trash bags to pack out what you pack in. It’s part of responsible wheeling.

Pro Tip: Trail Bathrooms Are……Creative

Trail leaders will call out “10-100” breaks (bathroom breaks) and occasionally “10-200” breaks (you can guess what those are). Here’s the general rule:

  • Ladies to the right

  • Gents to the left

It's an unspoken rule that’s become tradition—and it keeps people from awkwardly walking into each other in the brush. Most groups will stop several times throughout the day, but don’t expect facilities. Some trailheads have vault toilets, but once you’re on the trail, it’s just you and the sagebrush.

If you need more than a tree to lean on, a portable toilet or privacy shelter can come in handy—especially if you’re camping or wheeling for multiple days.

Easter Jeep Safari Registration & Vendors

If you’re planning to hit Easter Jeep Safari, don’t wait until the last minute to get signed up. Registration is 100% online and happens exclusively through the official site: redrock4wheelers.com. The process is pretty straightforward, but there are a few key things to know to avoid frustration—or missing out entirely.

How to Register for EJS

Spots for each trail are first-come, first-serve, and some of the more popular trails book out fast—we’re talking within minutes of registration opening. So be ready to go when the gates open.

Here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. Create a Profile
    Set up your user account on the Red Rock 4-Wheelers website. Make sure all your personal info is correct (email, phone, mailing address), especially since you'll get your confirmation, order details, and a mailed copy of the EJS Safari magazine if you're on the list.

  2. Add Your Vehicle
    You’ll be asked to enter details about your rig—make, model, tires, lockers, winch, etc. This info determines which trails you’re eligible to book. For example, if your rig doesn’t have a front locker, you won’t be able to register for trails that require one (typically trail ratings 6 and above).

  3. Book Your Trails
    Once registration is open, select your desired trail(s) for each day. You can only book one trail per vehicle per day, so plan ahead and be strategic—especially if you're trying to attend the vendor show or leave days open for meetups. After you complete checkout, always double-check that your order shows as "GOOD" and has a payment receipt. If it says "Initiated" or "Failed," it didn’t go through.

Pro Tip:

Want early access to registration? Join the Red Rock 4-Wheelers club as an associate member. Members get first dibs on trail booking, and the proceeds help support Moab’s off-road community and trail preservation efforts through the M.U.D. fund.

Vendor Shows & Raffle

One of the highlights of EJS week is the Vendor Expo, held at the Spanish Trail Arena on Thursday and Friday (April 17th & 18th 2025). This is the place to be if you want to:

  • See the latest parts and gear up close

  • Score exclusive event-only discounts

  • Chat with brand reps, industry pros, and product engineers

  • Meet your favorite off-road creators and YouTubers

Easter Jeep Safari Vendor Expo Raffle

Nearly every major name in the off-road industry is represented, and many companies bring prototype gear, trail-ready builds, and show-only deals you won’t find anywhere else.

Also held at the arena on Friday night is the official Easter Jeep Safari raffle—a massive giveaway packed with parts, gear, and trail-ready accessories. Raffle prizes can be worth hundreds to thousands of dollars, and your registration packet includes your raffle ticket. Don’t skip it. This is one of those big crowd energy moments that really brings the whole community together.

Tips from the Trail

If this is your first time at Easter Jeep Safari—or even your tenth—these aren’t just nice-to-knows. These are the unwritten rules and best practices that help keep the event running smoothly, safely, and in good standing with the local land managers and community. Respect the event, the trails, and the people around you, and you’ll be welcomed like family.

Leave the Drone at Home

Let’s get this one out of the way—drones are strictly prohibited on EJS trail runs. Even if you're licensed, even if it's just for "a few shots," even if you think it’s fine because you're not flying directly over people. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Red Rock 4-Wheelers have made it clear: no drones during official trail rides. If you’re caught flying one, you may be asked to leave the event entirely, and you could be barred from registering in the future. Seriously, don’t risk it!

Save the drone footage for your personal trail runs outside of official EJS events, and keep the airspace clear when you're with an official group.

No drones allowed at Easter Jeep Safari

Follow the Rules (Seriously)

Moab’s trails exist on public land—land that’s constantly under scrutiny from both recreational advocates and land use opponents. The future of these trails depends on how we treat them today.

That means:

  • Stay on designated routes—no cutting corners, no blazing new paths.

  • Avoid cryptobiotic soil—it looks like crusty black patches and it’s alive. Stepping on it damages ecosystems that take decades to recover.

  • Don’t litter—pack it in, pack it out.

  • Respect wildlife and other users—you’re not the only one out there.

Trail leaders will remind you of this at every driver's meeting, but it’s up to all of us to follow through.

Plug Into the Community

One of the best resources for real-time info, updates, and community Q&A is the Red Rock 4-Wheelers Facebook group. It’s the official social home base for the event, and it’s packed with:

  • Trail updates and weather alerts

  • People looking to connect for casual trail runs

  • Gear recommendations and troubleshooting

  • Last-minute lodging or group ride invites

Whether you're looking to get a question answered or just want to see who's out on what trails, this group is worth following before, during, and even after the event.

Ask for Help (Seriously, Do It)

Off-roaders are one of the most helpful communities out there. If you’re unsure about an obstacle, your vehicle starts acting up, or you need spotting—ask someone. Trail leaders are experienced and there to guide you, but your fellow drivers are just as valuable.

There’s no shame in needing a hand. In fact, it’s expected. Everyone out there has been a newbie at some point, and most are more than happy to lend tools, offer advice, or hop out to help spot a tricky section.

When in doubt, say something. It’s way better to pause for help than to risk breaking something—or someone.

Keep the Trails Alive: Support the M.U.D. Fund

Let’s be real—none of this happens without access to the land. Every epic obstacle, every bucket-list overlook, every dusty mile of trail we enjoy in Moab exists on land that’s under constant pressure from development, regulation, and closure. Easter Jeep Safari is more than just an annual gathering of off-roaders—it’s also a frontline effort to protect and defend access to public trails.

That’s where the M.U.D. Fund comes in.

What Is the M.U.D. Fund?

The Multiple Use Defense (M.U.D.) Fund is managed by Red Rock 4-Wheelers, Inc., and exists for one purpose: to preserve multi-use access to public lands. That includes everything from helping fund legal action against trail closures to supporting land use studies, trail maintenance projects, and public education efforts. It’s a financial lifeline when land use issues hit hard and fast—especially those that require legal counsel or rapid mobilization.

Why It Matters

Without the M.U.D. Fund and the people behind it, a lot of the trails we love—including iconic ones like Hell’s Revenge, Golden Spike, and Top of the World—would be under even more threat. The M.U.D. Fund has played a critical role in keeping these trails open to the off-road community by pushing back when closures are proposed and stepping up when access is challenged.

This isn’t just a local issue—it’s a model for public land stewardship across the country.

How You Can Help

You don’t need to be a lawyer or politician to make a difference. Here are two simple, effective ways to support the cause:

  • Contribute directly to the M.U.D. Fund
    Donations can be made online or during EJS week. Even a few bucks helps when it’s pooled with the rest of the off-road community. You can also grab one of the annual commemorative M.U.D. pins—just a small way to show you care about the long game.

  • Become a Red Rock 4-Wheelers Member
    An Associate Membership is only $50/year, and the benefits go beyond early trail registration. Your dues help fund trail defense efforts, and you become part of a club that’s been doing the hard work of trail stewardship since the 1980s. It’s one of the easiest ways to give back to the land that gives us so much.

No Trails, No Safari

The off-road community is loud, proud, and passionate—but passion alone doesn’t keep trails open. It takes time, money, and organization. The M.U.D. Fund is one of the most effective tools we have to ensure that future generations can still run these trails, snap photos from the ledge at Top of the World, and feel that same rush of adrenaline we all live for.

If you’re hitting Moab this year, consider making a donation, picking up a pin, or becoming a member. Because when you support the M.U.D. Fund, you're not just driving trails—you're defending them.

Final Thoughts: Get Out There

Easter Jeep Safari isn’t just another event on the off-road calendar—it’s a full-blown celebration of trail life, community, and the incredible places our rigs can take us. For one wild week each spring, Moab, Utah transforms into a rolling sea of lifted Jeeps, trucks, and buggies, all coming together for the same reason: to chase adventure across one of the most legendary landscapes on planet Earth. This is one of those bucket list events every off-roader should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Whether this is your first time on the slickrock or your fiftieth time clawing up the waterfalls of Poison Spider, Easter Jeep Safari always finds a way to push you, surprise you, and connect you with fellow wheelers who just get it. From early morning air-downs to trailhead meetups, from wrenching under the stars to grabbing burgers with new friends after a full day of dirt and adrenaline—this is the kind of stuff that stays with you.

Here's what to remember:

  • Prep your rig. Know your gear, your limits, and your trail ratings.

  • Pace yourself. Leave room in your schedule for spontaneous trail rides, vendor show walks, or just kicking back at camp.

  • Be a good trail steward. Stay on the trail, pack it out, and support the folks fighting to keep Moab open for the next generation.

Most of all? Soak it in. The views, the obstacles, the people. There’s nothing quite like Moab during Easter Jeep Safari.
