Others are repaired just enough to get through. The trails described in this brochure were selected because they are close to Moab and short enough for a partial-day trip. Among the trails is a variety of scenery and a range of challenge to the off-highway abilities of vehicle and driver. Marking The primitive nature of 4WD trails makes them hard to mark and keep marked. On some, routes are obscure, while on others, the roads are clear enough but the many unnamed junctions are confusing.
Storms can alter roads and remove tracks, while vandals can spoil the markings.
Nevertheless, a sign has been placed to identify each trail a short way into the trail. Topographic maps provide additional help and add to the enjoyment of off-road travel. Difficulty 4W driving difficulty is hard to describe objectively. Opinions vary, and an individual's judgment may change considerably as he gains experience. As with many activities, 4W driving leads its enthusiasts in the direction that more risk is fun.
