A very underwhelming trail after doing hell’s revenge. Worth doing though. An easy BOH trail.

Great fun! We were here for just a short time, but were able to run this with our JLU Sport with Rubicon springs and shocks. Hit the skid plates under the belly a couple times due to the length of the Jeep but had a great time. Looking forward to going back someday soon.

Great trail for anybody looking to get rid of the jitters. Steep inclines/declines, fun option even for stock high clearance 4wds.

4 hours all the way through with a 30minute stop. Build = Tacoma 33”, 3in lift, no locker, bumpers, skids, sliders. Rear hitch dragged a few times and my skids bit a few rocks. Sliders never hit. No need for locker. Super fun!

This was our first trail in Moab. Had a blast in our 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sport with 35's and 3" lift. In addition to the gorgeous there are some great climbs and descents. Hadn't had the pleasure of 40 degree climbs and descents so this was "thrilling." Going back for Thanksgiving and considering running this again.

The perfect intro trail in Moab! We camped at Sand Flats, so we actually split this trail up over two days. It works well to do it that way if you need to since the trail crosses the main road. Overall, this is a really fun trail with some interesting obstacles and amazing Moab scenery. Camping at Sand Flats was awesome too -- go all the way down to Juniper for great views and a little more privacy.

Awesome looong trail! Took us about 5-6 hours to complete with all the stops and spotting. You have so much traction on the slick rock it makes you feel you can go up any incline. It was nice to have restrooms throughout the trail. I do feel it was harder then the review video looks. I watched it a 100 times and it’s different when you actually see the obstacle in person. The tricky decent was the most sketchy for me. We did encounter some traffic on a Monday. A big convoy of Jeeps and a lot of side by sides. There was a $5 fee to get in for the day. If you wanted to camp, just needed to get a spot and pay an extra $10 for the night ($15 a night fee). Thought that was a nice option. We planned to run hells revenge but we’re pretty tired once we completed FnT. I wish I planned for 1 day for each trail.

Ran the south side of Fins & Things in my 4Runner and absolutely loved it. This is the perfect trail to get used to a lot of different terrain types and challenges before heading out into less trafficked trails around Moab. We hit some challenging sections on Dome Plateau, but after Fins & Things I knew exactly what the 4Runner could handle.

First time ever going off road in a Jeep. Rented a very capable Jeep from Twisted Jeeps in Moab, and Fins N Things was the trail they told me to try first to see how I do. This trail is perfect for beginners with some tougher areas once you get comfortable, or they have alternate routes that are a little easier.
This was a perfect confidence warm up for Hell's Revenge.

Fins and Things is the first trail we ran when arriving into Moab. We have never been to Moab so wasn't sure what to expect and glad we started with Fins and Things as it gives you a great opportunity to experience driving on the slick rock. I would say it is a must do when out in Moab!

This was my first trail I ran in Moab, it was a great experience, not to difficult and didn't ever feel as if I was in danger of breaking anything. I would recommend that at point 6 you make a left instead of a right and take the access road that goes directly to point 14, everything between those points is rocky and enjoyable, felt like it was a flat road with rocks just big enough to force you to take it slow. Overall super fun, looking forward to running it again.

Fins and Things is just one of those gotta do Moab Trails. Gives you a great taste of Moab Off-Roading, yet is fairly easy for many trail rated stock trail rated vehicles. Good approach and departure angles are key, but breakover angles aren’t as important here. Definitely study trails offroad’s guide here, but if you want to see all the obstacles before doing, my video review may help (however, don’t count on it instead of using the information posted here or in the Funtreks books... my videos are meant to supplement great resources like this website). Anyway, I hope you try it, because it’s a fun trail! I’d recommend having skid plates, rock sliders, and decent tires. Lockers are not needed but help on some of the optional climbs/obstacles.

This was my first experience on slick rock of Moab. There were definitely moments where I couldn't believe I was climbing or descending the inclines. Completed the southern portion of the trail and I'm excited to finish the whole trail. Aired down my tires to 19psi and had no issue with grip.
2-door JK 2.5" lift 33's.

A great trail that's close to town and not too difficult. It really gives you the entire Moab experience in one long loop. We then had to cool down at Mill Creek which is real close by. We then headed over to Long Canyon, Shafer Trail and out Potash Road.

Took the brand new jeep and CJ out to play for morning. What a fun trail. The stock JLU did awesome, easily completing all the optional obstacles.

Oh I love this trail. Endless traction and possibilities it is a great trail. Its popular enough if you got stuck in a bind you can get help but not over bearing where people will be running all over you. The RZR's will definitely make you feel slow. There are some absolutely tricky spots but I find my self wanting to run it over and over again. Lexus Gx460 with frame sliders and 265 70/17 tires otherwise stock.

The pictures and video of previous reviewers depict the trail perfectly. Fins and Things is a fun trail that was heavily used by UTV, ATV, and motorcycle traffic. The previous photos and video depict the trail perfectly. The weather was cool, cloudy, and a bit damp with temperature below 60 all day on the trail. Even a Mercedes 2WD van found a way through the first half of the trail. Photos courtesy EJ Schott

This is a classic trail in Moab. Just a good mix of everything. I felt slightly challenged with my tacoma on 33's, but nothing out of my comfort zone. Just enough to keep it interesting.

We tried out a new 2018 Jeep JL Rubicon on Fins and Things that we rented in Moab. We wanted to see how it compared to our Jeep JK. Very impressive Jeep!
It is a really fun trail. The trail was in good condition. We only saw one other 4x4 on the trail. There is a state park fee to get in.
There were a couple of large groups of side by sides from a rally in Moab this week. Once they went by we had the trail pretty much to ourselves. We only used the rear locker twice. Tire choice and tire pressure are a big deal here. There are lots of really fun obstacles. It's really a big obstacle course more than a trail a lot of the way. There are by passes if you decide to skip an obstacle. Go slow so you don't tear anything up. Spotters are a plus here.
Thanks to Outlaw Jeep Adventures for giving us some great climbing tips!

Did an impromptu trip to Moab and figured I'd do my first trail there in my Jeep. Was told Fins and Things would be a good first timer or the Sand Flats area. It was definitely a good trail. Was able to complete the lower portion without any real difficulty in my stock Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. Scraped a couple times... but that probably could have been avoided with a spotter, or taking it slower. :)
All in all, great trail.

Trail was open all the way through with no changes from the writeup. The last half of the trail was surprisingly not busy and we didn't see many people at all.

To bring in the New Year, we decided to leave the snow covered mountains of Colorado and travel to Moab, UT to enjoy some Jeep time in the desert. When we arrived we were surprised to find that Moab had more snow on the ground then Denver, CO. We opted for a jaunt on Fins N Things. The sun did a great job eliminating most of the snow cover; However, the North facing slopes of the fins remained snowy and icy limiting our ability to complete the trail. We were able to enjoy much of the roller coaster ride, but decided not to tempt fate on the icy slopes. Still, a very enjoyable day on this Badge of Honor trail.

We went to play on Fins n Things a little less than a week after a heavy snowfall. Sand Flats road still had snow on it and lots of mud. We did the entire south side. Just before waypoint 5 we hit a patch of hard packed snow that had me sideways going down. Waypoint 5, we opted for the bypass as it was impassable at the time.

Went to Moab for the first time this weekend and chose Fins and Things as my first trail. Man, what an awesome intro to the incredible slickrock and scenery that this area has to offer. Fins and Things was great for my stock truck, with just enough challenge on some of the more difficult obstacles to keep it interesting. If you have don't have good departure angles though, expect a few new scratches on the underside of you bumper and and hitch!
