DeKleined

DeKleined is an extreme crawler's proving ground where precision meets punishment. Designed for full-tube buggies and the most capable rock crawlers, this route combines relentless climbs, narrow canyon squeezes, off-camber ledges, and deep sandstone cracks that demand complete precision. The name “DeKleined” comes from a local buggy driver who, upon his first attempt, was literally declined by the trail itself, a fitting tribute to what most rigs will experience here. The obstacles are unrelenting, with sections that will challenge even the best drivers to stay upright and keep their rig intact. Expect steep ascents that require perfect throttle modulation, body-twisting wedges that flirt with gravity, and notches deep enough to swallow rigs whole.

About Sand Mountain

Sand Mountain is an extremely unique parcel of public land. Designated as an Open OHV Area, riders are free to make their own trails. Due to this, many of the long-established named trail routes have several variations that can take easier or more challenging routes through the intended trail. The GPX track for this trail helps you navigate the area, but various lines, bypasses, and additional obstacles may exist along the way. Riders are encouraged to stay on existing trails and not unnecessarily drive over or destroy vegetation.

Fees

Riding on Sand Mountain is entirely free. However, there are multiple entry/exit points for the area, including "the tunnel," which connects Sand Hollow State Park to the open OHV area. Any entry into the boundaries of Sand Hollow State Park requires a Utah State Park Pass.

Requirements

When operating on Sand Mountain, users must attach an orange or red safety flag to the vehicle, rising at least 8 feet off the ground.
