Best Trail in Moab? 5 Things to Consider Before Hitting Pickle

Thinking about wheeling The Pickle Trail in Moab? Here’s our take on what you should know before you go. From off-camber ledges to narrow canyon squeezes, the Pickle is a trail we’d call technical but approachable—and we’re breaking down how we tackled it with our own Jeep setups and style. We filmed this during Easter Jeep Safari 2025, but this video was made to help anyone researching the Pickle—any time of year. Whether you're planning your first trip to Moab or just looking for something scenic and moderately spicy, this is how it felt for us. 📍 In this video, we cover: ✅ The trail’s difficulty (7/10 on the Moab scale) ✅ What worked for us on each obstacle—including line choices and when to bump ✅ Why spotting made a huge difference for us (shoutout to Gary and Dennis!) ✅ How our 2-door and 4-door Jeeps handled things differently ✅ The build specs we recommend based on what we saw on the trail ✅ And whether we’d run it again—or recommend it for others We also compare it to trail Milt’s Mile in Sand Hollow, just to give you an idea of how it stacks up in real-world terms—not just a number on a map. 🎯 This isn’t a one-size-fits-all review—this is what worked for us, and what we think someone should know going in. 👀 Have you run the Pickle Trail yourself?
