Even though that's not one of the more gnarly trails, I would still take two vehicles. I went in with one in the mid '80's and tore apart my drive shaft and snapped my steering arm. Took 3.5 days to get the parts into the trail and had to drive out at midnight to get back to work. Took 2 vehicles the next time, and bent the tie rod on one. Then later did that whole road on a mountain bike with an overnight camp out (bad idea because of all the deep sand and high summer temperatures). Absolutely love that place, and now I want to go back there. Very nice video of one of the great trails/roads in the world.

Come on now!!! This trail is absolutely stunning. The landscape is constantly changing and the rocks formations look UNREAL!

Love this trail. Have done it more times than I can count and never get tired of it. First time was way back in 1979 in a Chevy Luv pickup. Most folks on here won't have any idea of what that is. The Taco would have made it okay. The last time I did it I followed a group in a Taco who were dong just fine. Great videography, editing and music. Loved the mix of the up-close technical parts and scenery.

One of my favorite trails as well. Excellent videography.

Love the video, adding this one to my list of trails this August. After doing the squeeze at Pinyon Mountain, I laughed at the devil’s pocket when you went through it 😂

1978 was the year I discovered Elephant Hill and the next 25 years of vacation and just calling off sick at my job I averaged 3 weeks every year. I lived 5 hours away in Salt Lake. I was blessed to be able to see a lot of the Colorado Plateau. The first few years our group wouldn't see another camp or hiker for 2 or 3 days and not a bicycle to be seen. Very sad to see it being loved to death. In those 25 years I had just 1 vehicle a 76 CJ7 stock. Over the course of years I added power steering, 4 speed trans (T-18) and after 165, 000 miles on my 256 6 cylinder to a small block chevy. After the bicycles I spent most of my time at Bears Ears. Watching the video gave me a rush. EARTH FIRST!

Very nice video. Such beautiful scenery, thank you.

Beautiful video! I drove my 1982 Pathfinder on Elephant Hill. By far one of the best trails!

I had the pleasure of enjoying the last few miles of this trail/road when i was hiking in canyonlands. Made a wing turn hiking ended up walking for two hours of the trail and these guys came up and offered me a ride. I.was like hell yeah! What a rush. Although i must admit i was white knuckled for a bit coming up a dropoff section. Great video, brings back memories.

Great video of a trail that most of us can do. Its fun to watch the big cats tackle the crazy obstacles but it is for me no help on planning a trip to MOAB. I will definitely be watching more of your videos.

Awesome video! That trail is a dream and the rain made nice climate. Great job. Jeep4life

So the best thing about Canyonlands and or the trails around Moab is almost magical they are so beautiful, I've spent many years going to those places including this Elephant hill trail, very fun, we did thus trail the 1st time in an 85 3/4 Chevy truck with 8ft bed, not a scuff on the body, imagine how close that is to the walls on the canyon part, the tires rubbed on both sides and both mirrors were pulled in, my pint is the Rangers were probably being a bit conservative on the vehicles that can make this trail.

Thanks for posting. That's one trail I haven't done yet. We did Hell's Revenge, Fins & Things, and Top of the World last time out. I don't own a Jeep yet, but I always rent from Twisted Jeep. They run Milestar tires. With the Rubicon lockers and these tires, I had zero issues on Top of the World climbing the ledges in a JKU. Can't wait to get back out there next spring (2022).

Just got back from Moab and another UT Jeep trip and wheeling with friends.... Such a captivating place. Always in awe when there. Great vid!

[helix_helix]

Yep that is magic - looks like a good one to take the kids too 🤙

[bobvincent]

Great video!
I absolutely love my Patagonias on my 2016 Power Wagon. Very rugged and grippy. Not to forget, also, so quiet too.

[Snacktime]

Great video man! Good job on the filming and editing 🤘
