![]() (Warning! The cliff rim here overhangs in places and has been known to fall!) Especially rewarding are the breath-stopping peeks over the cliff rim toward Arches National Park. The higher north end of the trail opens vistas in all directions. Of note are the Colorado River canyon in the vicinity of Amasa Back, the fin country of the north end of Behind the Rocks, and Jeep Arch. Most of the trail is just atop the sloping layer of Wingate Sandstone and offers vistas to the west and north. Its main claim to fame, however, is that some “chicken routes” (where they exist!) still rate a 4+. Much of the route is near the rim above Moab Valley and offers gorgeous views in all directions. Some folks seem so fond of damaging their equipment that we have made it available most days. The connection between Poison Spider Mesa and Gold Bar Rim was first developed as a jeep trail during the 1989 Jeep Safari.
