Fins & Things is truly one of the best ATV trails in the United States. The scenery is gorgeous and the riding is incredible. Many avid ATV riders vote Fins & Things their top rated trail. You quickly learn why it's named Fins & Things as the slickrock in this area looks a lot like the fins on the back of a dinosaur.

The trail is located on Sand Flats Road about two miles east of Moab, past the scenic Moab Dump, the Hell's Revenge trail head, and the Slickrock bike trail head. The road turns to dirt and the parking lot for Fins & Things is on the right hand side and is marked with signs. This is a tricky trail to follow if you don't have a leader that's familiar with the trail or a good map to point out the direction. It is helpful that they have marked the rocks on the trail with a white spray painted dinosaur every so often to help you follow the trail.

The trail is mostly riding on slickrock (sandstone) with sections of deep sand in between the rocks. There are several steep slickrock obstacles that make this a challenging trail and a few obstacles that will test the most advanced riders. Most of the really tricky obstacles have a "go around" area where those that are less daring can get around the difficult parts. There are however a few short and steep inclines and declines that don't have a go around and require the rider to engage. This is not a trail for a timid or rookie rider. It's also a good trail to carry some rope to attach to the ATV when in doubt. This is a trail that gets extremely difficult in wet conditions. Obstacles on this trail include: Frenchy's Fin and Kenny's Climb.

There are several points on the trail with scenic overlooks that are well worth the stop. Fins and Things is definitely a trail that every Utah ATV rider should experience!
