      If you want to see that, you should watch the old video of the K5 Blazer that loses control coming down (and survives). I'm sure it's on UA-cam somewhere.

    Lion's Back was closed in 2004, a few years before I moved to Moab after retireing, so this video has to be well over 18 years. I drove it in 2003 in a Jeep on a trip when living in TN. Really no where near as scary as it looks.

    ahhh yes.....the view at the top is breathtaking. Especially when you're up there at night. To see the once sleepy town of Moab in the early 1990's from up there....and then to lay down your camping bag and sleep under the stars. That could be done then....not so sure about now. Unless the back way up is still accessible. Will have to do it again before somebody gets the bright idea of putting a Taco Bell at the top. ZUK

    Tracks can be built for 4x4 use and 4x4s otherwise exist for the purpose of getting to otherwise inaccessible areas for a good reason, or at least doing so using a route that won't be damaged either physically or visually.
