In this video we tackle the southern part of the Fins and Things trail in Moab, Utah. This is a Jeep Badge of Honor trail. This trail is probably one of the best beginner off-road Jeep trails to get a feel for wheeling in Moab before you go on to harder trails. I would not classify this trail as difficult, but if you are new to off-roading it will be a challenge but it will be a trail that you will never forget! You will get to experience steep slickrock climbs and descents, some big ledges, fins (the vertical sandstone rock formations) and the things (the parts of the fins that fall to the ground and are leftovers basically). An aggressive stock vehicle can complete this fun trail. There are some good campsites scattered throughout the trail as well. We hit the southern part of the trail in this video and found that it was taking longer than expected and we really wanted to hit Hell's Revenge too, so we called it a day.

Thank you! I’m editing a video for Hell’s Revenge trail now and I believe that is even more scenic with better views. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Geoffrey! That is your best video yet! Love the narration and other fun tidbits about your skills letting air out of tires!

Another good one, Geoff. And Cam had me belly laughing with his Gladiator comment but of course he made it up. Nice narration, too, my friend.

Thanks Tom!!!! 🤣🤣🤣. Camron cracks me up. Every time our buddy Coy (who is probably the best driver I know) would stall his standard Camron would yell “STUPID STICK SHIFT!!!!” Hahahah. So it’s funny to hear him. Stupid long wheelbase! Stupid truck! Stupid gladiator! I’m laughing just thinking about it

Excellent video!! Makes me want to get out there soon! That JTR you were riding with is pretty BA. Your beast, as usual, makes everything look easy.

LOL. Thanks 😊. I’m working on some more videos from the trip right now. Editing is not my favorite thing! I would rather be wheeling! You’ve been putting out some great videos too! Camrons JT is pretty good. He’s trying to get used to that long wheelbase which definitely adds a new challenge! - Geoff
Nice video! I haven't been to MOAB yet, will check out this trail when I make it there.

I realize this is an older video but if go in to the second part of Fins at the radio tower it skips all the bumpy stuff and gets right to the fun. The only cool obstacle you'll miss is that first steep decent. But I agree, the first few miles of the second half are boring and bumpy.
Fun trail!

It is. We haven’t ran it in years. We only hit the north part just for a little bit and then went to Hell’s Revenge. I’m editing that video now and it’s giving me a headache 🤣🤣🤣

Nicely done! Great camera angles. I remember the first time I ran Fins & Things, had a great time! The second part of Fins is fun too. Nice warm up for Hells Revenge.

I would not want to wait in that traffic and then be on the trail with that many people! Looks like you guys had a great time! I love wheeling in Utah. Awesome video!! I need to do some catching up on your videos!

I don’t know what it is. Is it Covid? Or just so many more people wheeling and recreating outdoors these days? We’ve never seen it like this but it seems like everyone and their uncle is getting out. It’s good for them but just adds to more traffic on the trails. It is what it is. I just don’t understand it 😂😂. Thanks for checking in. I’m editing a few more videos from our last Moab trip and we’re going wheeling tomorrow too! It’s almost the season here!!!! - Geoff
