Looks like fun to me! I have an 82 CJ-5 I’d love to take down there some time… I’m not sure it has the guts to really make it fun though – maybe a new engine?

Almost. Depending on how much money the current land leasees think they can make it periodically gets opened back up. Jeep Safari is a hit and miss time as well for the obstacle because of the large crowds it draws. It was fun while it lasted and may be open again one day.

Indeed the first obstacle was graded smooth and usually is regraded every spring but by the end of the Jeep Safari week it usually looks like it did 7 years ago and turns into an obstacle once again. Chewy is an obstacle that is very controversial with the BLM and environmentalists in the Moab area. Since it’s a touchy subject I don’t want to perpetuate any friction between the 2 groups. Yes it exists and it is a lot of fun but every time sensitive trails like Pritchet are “expanded” then we run the risk of drawing too much attention where it isn’t necessary.

Rocker Knocker’s bypass is very hard and depending in the wheelbase is potentially harder than the real thing. A fun obstacle none the less but also is starting to draw a lot of attention from people looking to close Pritchett to all off road vehicles.

The unnamed obstacle has several other names as well (”side dive” among others) but seems to change names by the year so I guess any one of those names will work.

Rock Pile is actually a little easier without all the rocks there but for some reason someone will take hours out of their day to replace the rocks. It seems to happen every year. The guys from one of the local shops have, on several occasions, removed the rocks far from the obstacle but there are people out there who are still under the impression that those rocks will help so they mysteriously keep showing up. Thanks for the comment and keep ‘em coming!

Dump Bump has been closed for what, 2 years now?

Nice website! But, the Pritchett trail info is very outdated. The first drop-off at the start of the trail was graded smooth by the county several years ago. It is now starting to erode again, but is still easily climbed.

There is a very major obstacle (we call it Chewy) that has developed over the last couple years, which you fail to mention.

Rocker Knocker has a bypass (although it can be very difficult).

The “un-named obstacle” you mention that is just befor Rock Pile is called Axle Hill (aka “suicide hill”).

There have not been any rocks at the base of Rock Pile for years.
