Come Run the ‘All Broncos’ Trails of Moab Safari

I am super excited to discuss some of the upcoming trails being offered during Bronco Safari. The first series of trails are ones that I call "All Broncos Invited" –– these trails are suitable for Bronco Sports and up. 

If you want scenic drives into remote areas that are typically not included in the Easter Jeep Safari line-up, then these trails are for you. Picked by local off-roaders, they are more than just dirt roads but also allow those with lower clearance rigs to participate and mix with other models and owners. 

All-Time Favorite Trail: Gemini Bridges to Long Canyon

Two very scenic trails are being combined into one big adventure! We will be headed north of Moab approximately 10 miles to the Gemini Bridges road. This shelf road begins right off 191 and is the gateway to more extreme trails like Metal Masher, Gold Bar Rim, and Rusty Nail. 

But for today, we will be traveling the length of this amazing road, 13.2 miles, taking in the stunning views along the way. We will be passing by the infamous Gooney Bird Rock who, it is believed, delivers good luck if you run over his feet, which extend onto the trail. 

Next will be a stop at the Gemini Bridges, which is a double natural arch formation that off-roaders used to drive across until it was finally closed off for safety. We will take a short hike to check out this magnificent double arch. 

This road is a mix of rocks, sand, and wash crossings and will eventually connect with the paved 313 highway that leads to Canyonlands National Park. It is likely we’ll be sharing this route with mountain bikes and other motorized users as it is a very popular trail and area. 

Once we reach the pavement, we’ll drive a few miles of HWY 313 towards Dead Horse State park in order to access our next route that will lead back down to Moab and the Potash road.

Long Canyon is a 7.5 mile route that is easy most of the time. We’ll be sure to check trail conditions before we head out –– thunderstorms can cause wash outs and damage the road. 

Trail descriptions include words like unpredictable, Pucker Pass, and Giant Boulder. Combined with the most incredible views, this road definitely does not disappoint. 

Back in 1995, a huge rockslide resulted in a complete blockage of the trail that required a creation of a tunnel to allow the road to be reopened. Driving through this area and beneath what looks like a giant boulder is a highlight of this trail and makes for fantastic photos.

The trail has several tight switchbacks with amazing views that may tempt you to take your eyes off the trail. Don’t do it!!  

A quick visit to Jug Handle Arch and a 1,000-year-old Fremont Rock art site completes the route. We’ll return to basecamp and Moab via the paved Potash road to share our stories from the day!
