Trail Information

Highlights

One would think that a trail with a name like Dubinky would be based on a family name. But that is not the case with Dubinky Well Road. The term originates from two brothers, Red and Dubinky Anderson. The story gets murkier because it is unknown if "Dubinky" was Dubinky's given first name or if it came from the rumored story of running from a ghost. Storytellers say he was so scared it caused him to run ten miles to what was to become Dubinky Ranch. Either way, Dubinky Well Road near Moab is steeped in ranching history, and the well itself was once grand central for those seeking water.  Today, it provides easy access to several more famous roads, beautiful views of the La Sal Mountains to the southeast, and the longest cliff line in the world, the Book Cliffs, to the north.

Ran this today from Spring Canyon Bottom to Spring Canyon Point. Basically in pretty good shape. Some muddy and rutted spots, but you can make good time to the other connector trails

I used Dubinky Well Road to get out to connect to Secret Spire and Spring Canyon Point. No significant changes in road conditions--there's little difficulty but use this as a connector to get yourself way out there!

I ran this today to connect to a few other trails. I like this road, but it’s hard to rate it super high with so many great roads in the area. Definitely do it if you are in the area

Day 2 of our Moab trip was out Dubinky Well Road to see the Secret Spire and Spring Canyon Point. We entered from Hwy 313/Spring Canyon Bottom Road and had lunch at the well. The road is in good condition with less washboarding than years past.

This is a simple dirt road, the northern half seems a little more exciting. It is a great road for getting to other trails in the area and you will seldom find many other vehicles driving it.
