Imagine yourself in the slickrock of Moab. Now, on that one trail that tested your rig's abilities time and time again. Lastly, picture yourself on that epic multi-day adventure away from the stress of everyday life. Now, combine each of those aspects into one breathtaking bucket list-worthy opportunity. That is just the surface of this grandiloquent adventure. Pack up your vehicle and prepare your mind to follow along a path rich in history dating back to the winter of 1879. The Mormon Pioneers decided to try a shortcut from the town of Escalante to what is now the town of Bluff. 6 weeks planned was the journey that quickly became a 6-month mission to reach their final destination. Once they transported their wagons and equipment across the Colorado River (now Lake Powell), they found that their journey was about to become arduous. Today, we have the ability to experience this strenuous trek in the comfort of motorized transport; however, it is a far cry from relaxing and easy. This journey will push you and your rig over the course of 16+ hours. Although it may be technical and demanding, be sure to bring your family and friends on this lifetime experience, taking in some of the most incredible sights that this part of Utah has to offer.

Trail Navigation

The entirety of the Hole in the Rock trail consists of a multitude of trail conditions. In the beginning stages of the trail, it is a graded road of dirt and occasional soft sandy areas. There is plenty of room to pass. Once you get to Waypoint 11, you will start to see rocky patches and a steep uphill climb, which at this point is still graded dirt. If there is any rain, this hill may become very slick. After passing the turnoff to Nokai Dome at Waypoint 12, the road is no longer maintained, and you will begin to feel the trail get a bit rougher. There are quite a few wash crossings that can be quite deep sand. Once at Waypoint 15, you will start to see the slickrock domes that will soon become prominent. From Waypoint 15 to 48, you will be treated with obstacles consisting of shelves, waterfalls, off-camber situations, and loose rock climbs. On top of Grey Mesa at Waypoint 48, the road will become a lot tamer, and you can pick up some pace. There are still patches of rough that you will have to slow down for, so be careful and pay attention. At Waypoint 52, the trail will begin to get rough again with rocky patches and occasional climbs and descents. At Waypoint 60, you reach The Chute, which is very accurately described as mini Hell's Gate. The actual "chute" part may not be the hardest obstacle, but the drop into the top bowl will surprise you. Shortly after The Chute, there is a steep uphill climb. After this climb, you will fall more rocky obstacles of a similar variety to what you have already faced until you reach the end. Keep in mind that this is an out-and-back trail 34.74 miles in length ONE WAY, and many of the challenging obstacles you will face first will be downhill. The return trip may prove to be more difficult in many spots. The named obstacles along this route include The Chute and what is collectively known as the climb to Grey Mesa. This trail is suitable for anyone in a lightly modified 4WD vehicle and some driver experience. Be prepared for possible breakages and very long days on the trail.

1. Hole in the Rock Trailhead (0 mi)

11. Terrain Change (10.87 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 11: Terrain Change

Here is where the trail starts getting a little bit rougher. Still nothing worth 4WD, but you have to slow down your pace over the random rocky patches.

12. Nokai Dome Trailhead - Turn Right (11.69 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 12: Nokai Dome Trailhead - Turn Right

This is the turnoff for Nokai Dome. This is also where the trail maintenance ends.

13. Camping/Scenic (12.04 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 13: Camping/Scenic

Here is a great scenic campsite; however, it is small and can only hold 3-4 rigs. It is also likely windy as it is higher in elevation.

14. Optional Shelf - Easier Right (12.33 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 14: Optional Shelf - Easier Right

This is just a small taste of what is to come. There is an option small shelf on the left with a bypass on the right. If this concerns you, it is best to turn around now.

15. Slickrock - Continue Straight then Right (12.87 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 15: Slickrock - Continue Straight then Right

Let the rock begin. Continue straight up the rock, then veer right.

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 16: Camping

More camping. There is room for 4-6 rigs here.

17. Small Shelf (13.9 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 18: Rocky Downhill

More rocky downhill.

19. Intersection - Stay Left (14.38 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 19: Intersection - Stay Left

Stay left at this unknown spur.

20. Obstacles (14.85 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 20: Obstacles

Here are some more optional obstacles. Stay to the left for the easiest line. The drop on the right on the final obstacle is about 2 feet.

21. Fork - Turn Right (15.87 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 21: Fork - Turn Right

Stay right at this dead-end fork.

22. Slickrock Mound (16.05 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 22: Slickrock Mound

This slick rock mound is a little bit off-camber to the left. Continue straight up and over

23. Optional Obstacle Left (16.3 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 23: Optional Obstacle Left

Hang a left here to climb over a small rocky patch, or stay right to continue around.

24. Wavy Rock (16.43 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 24: Wavy Rock

Here is a small section of wavy rock that will flex your suspension a little bit.

25. Sandy Waterfall (16.69 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 25: Sandy Waterfall

This is a small 6-foot sandy waterfall. This is a good taste of what is yet to come.

26. Stay Straight on Rock (16.82 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 26: Stay Straight on Rock

Continue straight here and look for the rock cairns. This section may be a little tricky to find, but there should be enough faint black marks to see the way.

27. Steep Climb - Multiple Lines (17.22 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 27: Steep Climb - Multiple Lines

Here is a short steep rock face you can climb. Alternately, you can head around to the right for an easier/less steep line.

28. Fork - Stay Left (17.25 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 28: Fork - Stay Left

At this fork, you can turn left for the original trail that may be slightly more challenging, or you can stay straight for a slightly easier line.

29. Shelf on Left - Bypass Right (17.67 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 29: Shelf on Left - Bypass Right

There is a medium-sized shelf if you veer left. Continue around to the right if you wish to bypass.

30. Lake Canyon/Old Hole in the Rock - Turn Left (17.75 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 30: Lake Canyon/Old Hole in the Rock - Turn Left

This marks the intersection with the original Hole in the Rock Trail coming in from Lake Gorge. This trail is still driveable up to Lake Gorge, where the trail has been permanently washed out beyond repair, so you will return to this point should you decide to venture out.

31. Optional Obstacle Right - Easier Left (18.81 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 31: Optional Obstacle Right - Easier Left

Here is another slew of small rocky shelves. To the left is easier, although nothing is too challenging here.

32. Camping/Climb with Steps (19.36 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 32: Camping/Climb with Steps

This is a nice little campsite for 2-3 rigs. The ground is solid rock so rooftop tents may be better here. There are also some small shelves to climb.

33. Optional Drop Left - Easier Right (19.88 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 33: Optional Drop Left - Easier Right

If you stay to the left, you will encounter a small loose rocky shelf, while the track to the right will bypass this.

34. Camping (20.02 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 34: Camping

This is one of the first larger camps. It would make a great camp; however, the ground is solid rock with pebbles strewn throughout so rooftop tents would be best here.

35. Small Ledge and Marble Rocks (20.79 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 35: Small Ledge and Marble Rocks

Along the trail here, you will start to notice the small marble-sized rocks. These will continue for the next little bit.

36. Rough Downhill (22.03 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 36: Rough Downhill

This is just a small and rough downhill section.

37. Obstacle - Steep Solid Rock (22.51 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 37: Obstacle - Steep Solid Rock

To the right, you will drop down a few small steps as you descend. If you stay left, you have a large and fairly steep face of rock you must climb down.

38. Obstacles - Multiple Lines (22.6 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 38: Obstacles - Multiple Lines

Yet again, more options. To the right is a steep downhill face, but likely the easier line on this one. To the left is a narrow and choppy chute that wraps you around the rock face. It can get a bit flexy down this line.

39. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Border (22.68 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 39: Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Border

This spot marks the border of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. There is also a huge and sandy camp here, known as Marble Canyon Camp. However, this is one of the more popular camps, so snagging it for yourself may prove to be a challenge.

40. Stay Left (22.87 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 40: Stay Left

Stay to the left, despite the tire tracks in the sand. If you go right, you will quickly encounter a narrow spot where you will have to back up to this point.

41. Narrow Canyon Obstacle (23.08 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 41: Narrow Canyon Obstacle

This is where your suspension may start to get a little workout. Weave your way through the rocks and holes.

42. Sheepherder's Trail (23.1 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 42: Sheepherder's Trail

At this point, an informational board explains how the original route continued up to the left. You can only walk this section on foot. Continue straight.

43. Steep Waterfall (23.13 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 43: Steep Waterfall

This may be the most challenging obstacle on the return trip. For the trip out, this is just a large speed bump. The shelf here is about 4 feet straight down. If you are not lifted, you will likely drag your back end here a little.

44. Begin Climb to Grey Mesa (23.24 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 44: Begin Climb to Grey Mesa

Here is where you will begin the climb to Grey Mesa. This will be the hardest part, both vehicularly and mentally. The climb starts out where the trail will narrow and start to get rather choppy. Passing is not easy along most of this stretch.

45. Narrow (23.38 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 45: Narrow

More narrow trail. This section actually had a washout a few years back that has been repaired but is still probably the most narrow part of the climb. You will see the repair on the downhill side in the photos. Alternately, you can climb up the left side, but it is rather off-camber and likely more taxing mentally.

46. Slickrock Face (23.43 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 46: Slickrock Face

After a short break, you will come to a rock face. You will approach the right-hand side of this while turning a little bit to the left once you start reaching the top. Be careful as you return down this face, as there is a hole in the face on the left that may claim a rollover if you are not careful.

47. Small Shelf (23.47 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 47: Small Shelf

This is an off-camber shelf on another narrow section of trail. Luckily you don't have quite as much of a dropoff to the right. Keep moving slowly to work your way through here.

48. Choppy Uphill (23.52 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 48: Choppy Uphill

Here will be the last difficult section of the climb. This spot is choppy and sandy, twisting your suspension in all different ways. Keeping steady momentum here will help get you up.

49. Final Small Climbs (24.06 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 49: Final Small Climbs

This section can be a tad surprising. All though it appears easy, there is a spot that is narrow and off-camber. It could cause a tip-over if you are not paying attention!

50. Top of Grey Mesa - Scenic (25.03 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 50: Top of Grey Mesa - Scenic

You've made it! The top of Grey Mesa is quite flat and smooth. Take a break and relax from the obstacles while you enjoy the views this stretch has to offer. You will have a few chances to look off to the left and see the Great Bend of the San Juan River.

51. Small Hill Climb (26.58 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 51: Small Hill Climb

Occasionally throughout the smooth section, you will have to slow down for a small climb or rocky section. This is one of those spots.

52. Spur - Stay Left (29.1 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 52: Spur - Stay Left

Stay left at this spur. It reconnects a little way down the trail.

53. Small Shelf (29.21 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 53: Small Shelf

Here is another small shelf that will slow you down.

54. Fork - Stay Left (29.23 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 54: Fork - Stay Left

Stay to the left here. The shortcut spur to the right is illegal.

55. Obstacles - Multiple Lines (29.5 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 55: Obstacles - Multiple Lines

This will be the only difficult along the Grey Mesa portion of this trail. Take it slow. This is nothing harder than the climb to Grey Mesa.

56. Rincon Trailhead - Continue Straight (29.63 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 56: Rincon Trailhead - Continue Straight

The trail to the right is the Rincon. The trail is well used and obvious. Please keep in mind that once you reach the end of the trail before the descent, this is the end of the trail. The descent down to Lake Powell is illegal. There is often a patrol boat waiting there to give you a ticket should they see any vehicles down to that point. Please enjoy the view from the top, and return back to Hole in the Rock Trail.

57. Scenic/Loose Descent (30.46 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 57: Scenic/Loose Descent

This is quite the view! As you drop down this stretch, you will have incredible views of Navajo Mountain off in the distance. Be sure to stop at some point to enjoy such a sight.

58. Small Shelf (31.12 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 58: Small Shelf

Yet another small shelf you will encounter.

59. Narrow (31.21 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 59: Narrow

Hug to the left at this narrow spot. There is a hole on the right that may prove to be big enough to tip you should you be top-heavy or hit it hard enough.

60. Either Way (31.31 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 60: Either Way

Continue through this rocky section. Be sure to look out for rock cairns, as sometimes the tire tracks seem to disappear.

61. The Chute (31.93 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 61: The Chute

The Chute is one of the more famous obstacles along the trail. Many people very accurately describe this as a "mini Hells Gate." It is remarkably close, as you have to straddle a crack and make a small turn partway down. Despite the hype, this obstacle is hardly a challenge. The main issue about this obstacle is the drop into the bowl before you descend the chute. You have 3 options to drop into the bowl. The track around to the right is steep but likely the easiest (Photo 1). The most used path would be to the left, where you will turn hard right and drop simultaneously. This section is a little tippy, so pay attention and have a spotter help guide you down. The third option is straight ahead down a very short but steep rock face. Very few choose to take this path.

62. Pothole (32.15 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 62: Pothole

To the right, after the Chute, you can find this pothole.

63. Steep Uphill Climb (32.28 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 63: Steep Uphill Climb

After the Chute, you will have a narrow but steep uphill climb. The left fin is narrow but straightforward. The fin to the right is a bit wider, but partway up, you will have to jog left over a crack and a shelf, causing you to tip a bit and flex your suspension.

64. Off-Camber Hill (32.85 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 64: Off-Camber Hill

Here is a small drop to the left that will put you a tad off-camber.

65. Shelf (32.88 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 65: Shelf

This is a 2 foot undercut shelf. It is also sandy, so you may need to bump it a little to make it up on the return trip.

66. Optional Lines (32.91 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 66: Optional Lines

This spot may be a little bit tricky on the mind. Once again, you have to drop down to your left, and it will put you off-camber. The farther straight ahead you travel before turning, the less of a tilt you may experience. Once you are through this, you will take a right onto a very narrow section rising briefly before heading down a very narrow fin. If you feel uncomfortable just waltzing your way through, having a spotter will help with the blind drop down the fin.

67. Optional Climb - Easier Left (33.42 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 67: Optional Climb - Easier Left

There is an optional line straight ahead with a bypass to the left. It is just a set of steps, nothing more difficult than what you have already completed getting to this point.

68. Camp (33.58 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 68: Camp

Here is the last camping option before you reach the end. There is plenty of room for at least 7-8 rigs depending on sleeping arrangements.

69. Mini Chute (34.49 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 69: Mini Chute

This is one of the final obstacles you will encounter before the end. It is just a slickrock face that you will descend.

70. End (34.74 mi)

Hole in the Rock Trail - Waypoint 70: End

You've done it! The journey via vehicle has been completed. From here, you have the option to hike the remaining trail down to the water, which will be around 3 miles one way. You can also set up camp here, but traffic will likely visit you if you are here over the weekend. Now that you have completed the epic journey, it's time to remember that you are far from over. Many of the obstacles will actually be more challenging on the return trip. Take your time and enjoy the incredible experience all over again. It'll be over before you know it!

The trail rating, I think, is in line with other trails of this same difficulty rating that I have four wheeled. The remoteness and length of the trail along with the difficulty makes this a trail that must be taken seriously. If you have a mechanical or medical issue, getting help may not happen guickly. I think the Grey Mesa climb has become more difficult judging from the TOR route pictures of that section that show more sand and soil on the trail surface. That climb is pretty much rubber smeared sandstone steps and bumps. (The Grey Mesa climb is the most difficult and dangerous section IMHO). The suggested vehicle in the description- SUV with light mods - is misleading and I’d recommend at least a rear locker, great ground clearance and 35” tires. Oh, be sure your vehicle is in great mechanical condition overall- this is an “all in “ trail in unforgiving country. If you are not sure if Hole in the Rock is for you, I’d suggest doing the Trifecta in Moab- Poison Spider-Golden Spike-Gold Bar Rim to get a taste of the difficulty and length of a day on this trail. If you have done the Trifecta, then you have a good idea what in store for you. If you do go, be prepared to wear out the word “epic” because the country, history and the trail are just that -epic.

This trail has been on my bucket list for some time and when my wheeling buddy suggested doing it this spring I was all in. The scenery is unparalleled and the story of this trail is nearly unbelievable after you have traveled the route after reading David Miller’s book about the Mormon expedition to Bluff.

This trail is a must on your bucket list! Spent 3 days and 2 nights with multiple other Jeeps. The scenery is second to none specifically once you get on top of Grey Mesa. With that being said, beginning at waypoint 43 the difficulty ratchets up quickly to 6+ depending on the obstacle. Came across a small group with a Toyota pickup and a Raptor that turned around at waypoint 43. What an incredible trail and would do again!

A must do trail that I can't wait to do again. A lot of people do this as a 3-day event but it's not necessary to take that long unless you want to. We started out about 10am on Saturday and got back around 2:30pm on Sunday after camping overnight. Amazing scenery and walking through some of the spots that the wagons came through around Grey Mesa was mind blowing. The trail is easy to traverse but there are definitely sections where you must be mindful and take it slow, most notably for me around Waypoint 45 where it gets off camber and the trail surface is covered with "Monkey Balls" - basically sandstone marbles. If you have the opportunity to do this trail, I highly recommend you take it.
