@ascensionacres: 📍 Fins and Things Trail | Moab, Utah Fins and Things is one of the most popular trails in Moab and a great introduction to driving on slickrock. The trail gets its name from the long sandstone “fins” and the dips between them that create constant climbs and descents throughout the route. 🚙 Trail Info • Located in the Sand Flats Recreation Area just east of downtown Moab 📊 Difficulty • Most trail maps rate it as Moderate 🛻 Trail Length • About 9.4 miles total • Split into two loops that many people run separately • Typically takes 1–2 hours per loop depending on stops and traffic 🌄 What the Trail is Like • Constant slickrock climbs and descents that feel like a natural roller coaster • Short ledges and steep drops that test vehicle approach and departure angles • Sandy sections connecting the slickrock fins • Great views of the surrounding desert and La Sal Mountains 🪨 How the Terrain Formed • The slickrock is part of the Navajo Sandstone formation • Formed from massive sand dunes over 180 million years ago • Erosion shaped the rock into the fins and bowls that give the trail its name • The sandstone provides incredible traction despite looking smooth Fins and Things is often recommended as one of the best introduction trails to Moab slickrock driving, offering a fun challenge while still showcasing the unique terrain that makes Moab famous for off-roading. #moab #offroad #finsandthings #sxs #4x4
