Climb the Moab Brand Trails

Itinerary tips

• 1Pack at least two liters of water and high-carb snacks, as the exposed desert terrain offers zero shade once you leave the trailhead.
• 2Plan for a three to four-hour session to allow enough time to transition from the introductory 'Bar M' loop to the more technical 'Deadman’s Ridge'.
• 3Access the trails via the Bar M Trailhead located seven miles north of Moab directly off Highway 191.
• 4Arrive with a pre-purchased day pass or a digital receipt, as this area requires a modest user fee payable via an onsite QR code or fee station.
• 5Start on the inner 'Lazy-EZ' loop to warm up your legs before attempting the steep rock rolls on the outer technical loops.
• 6Download the Trailforks app or grab a paper map at the kiosk because the interconnected network can be confusing for first-time visitors.
