Trail Information
Highlights
Wipe-Out Hill is undoubtedly an intimidating trail name, but in no way should the one optional obstacle be the only reason for running this trail. There is so much more. Once you exit the pavement, immediately leaving the packed mini-vans behind, you'll be enveloped by the landscape, and red sandstone cliffs fill your windshield. This is one of those trails where you put it in 4-low and leave it there for the next couple of hours. Several early challenges will ensure your rig is ready for the big show at the midway point of the loop. Wipe-Out Hill is an optional steep slab of sandstone with off-camber vertical ledges. The climb up and down is optional and not for the inexperienced. The loop's second half is a scenic drive below the cliffs. The challenges in this section are ideal for stock type 4x4s. Be sure to look for unique rock formations along the way.

This is a nice trail for people who are looking for a bridge between dirt roads and more difficult trails such as Sevenmile Rim. I would say this trail is a hard 3/10 or easy 4/10 for the mandatory obstacles; it is easier and less intimidating than Hell’s Revenge.
Beautiful scenery and fun sandy sections make this a great 1hr addition to your day on the trails in this area.

Ran the west half of the loop and up Wipeout Hill and exited Sevenmile Rim. Views of Monitor and Merrimack never get old.

I did the trail in reverse with an LX570 with sliders and 33” tires. Beautiful trail, with some challenges but I only hit my tailpipe once coming down a ledge.the Wipeout hill climb was a definite no, both for me and a stock wrangler in front of me.lots of wild flowers and scenic views.

Very fun trail. Did it all minus the actual wipeout obstacle because we were alone. The whole trail is awesome, beautiful and very worth driving. Low range, lift, bigger tires (and a good spotter if you want to do Wipeout Hill) will really help. Fun fun 4x4 trail.

We have been on this trail a couple of times but had never climbed Wipe-Out Hill. It turned out to be easier than I thought but it was still a legit climb. I watched numerous videos of everyone doing the wrong thing and some correctly, so I was confident I knew what to do. Lining up for the right line is critical. You can lift the left front tire very easily if you have too much momentum or if your suspension system isn't set up correctly. MAKE SURE your sway bars are disconnected before trying this one. You need all the suspension travel you can get, but not too much!! Definitely go up and down and continue around to Bartlett Flat. It's a great half-day route.
