Black Dragon

Today we’re taking our side‑by‑sides on one of the most iconic routes in the San Rafael Swell — dropping down through the incredible Black Dragon Canyon. This ride has everything: wide‑open desert, towering red‑rock walls, tight canyon turns, and some of the most jaw‑dropping scenery anywhere in Utah. We start out in the Swell, cruising across open slickrock and rolling sandstone before the terrain funnels us into the narrow entrance of Black Dragon. From there, the canyon walls rise straight up around us as we work our way through the twists, ledges, and sandy stretches carved out over thousands of years. It’s one of those trails that makes you feel tiny compared to the landscape. If you love off‑roading, exploring hidden canyons, and seeing what your machine can do in real Utah backcountry, this ride is a must‑watch. The KRX4 handled it like a champ, and the views are unreal from start to finish.
