The Trifecta: Poison Spider - Golden Spike - Gold Bar Rim in Moab

The Trifecta is one of the most demanding 4x4 routes in all of Moab, Utah. It includes the famous trails of Poison Spider and Golden Spike (Jeep Badge of Honor Trails), and Gold Bar Rim. This is no cakewalk! We started just after sunrise and did not finish until after dark. Right off the bat, we tackled the "Pre Launch Pad," "The Waterfall," and "The Wedgie" on Poison Spider. Quickly followed by the "Launching Pad" and "Skyline Drive." After a quick lunch, it was off to one of the most famous obstacles of them all, "The Golden Crack." The Golden Staircase, the Double-Whammy, and the waterfall on Gold Bar Rim were next. It was dark by the time we made it to Highway 191, and we had to make quick repairs to TJ's steering components before getting dinner in town. After dinner, we drove to Grandpa's Garage for further repair! It was a long, long day!

So nice to see so many TJ’s every other video has the latest and greatest. Not that’s bad but it’s nice to see older jeeps still doing what they were built to do.

They rocked on these trails! It was fun to see how the wheelbase made a difference on the various obstacles.

Great video work!!! We ran The Trifecta just a couple of weeks ago from North to South. It is definitely a endurance test, we aired down at Gemini Bridges trail head, pulling out at 8:00AM..aired up at Poison Spider trail head at a little after 7:00PM. Great job capturing exactly what it is to complete the Trifecta!!!! Well Done!!!

I just did this, by accident, and I wasn’t mentally ready for it. JL Rubi with a 2 inch lift and 35s. Smashed my back bumper to a bit due to a terrible line I took out of frustration, and only put a small crease in the tail pipe. I was never happier to be done with a trail.

Did Poison spyder 1 week ago. Didn't have time for the trifecta, which I did 4 yes ago in my 99 tj. This time I took my new project (06 LJ Rubicon) both jeeps had 35" tires and lockers but the longer wheelbase and and lower gears made it seem easier.

I built my Gladiator, untested, showed up to Moab solo to run only Poison Spider, and ran into someone that convinced me to run this trifecta. He had a built Wrangler. We ended up finishing by going out Rusty nail from Gold Bar Rim. That was my most difficult day of offroading, but glad I did it. I learned the limits of my Jeep really quick, but managed to get out without any notable damage; although I almost flipped forward bed over hood haha.

Nice effort! Can I recommend a safety detail? Please leave a bit more room between vehicles on obstacles. And yes, Ihave run those trails and had guys get near the top of launching pad and start to roll back. Or freak when lifting a wheel in the hole at the top of wedgie. Stay safe and have fun!

Great video guys. Anywhere we didn’t see that would be and issue for a full-size? We have several Ramchargers going next April after EJS. We are all well experienced and been to Moab several times. But I haven’t been on these three.

@Trailsoffroad Жыл бұрын

There is a couple of hard spots. But as long as you have drop off protection and sliders you probably can get it done. The JL's are very wide and long. Only advantage over the ram charger is the body is inside the the wheels. Overall, I think you could do it, but please go to our site and review all the trails information before hand. The link is in the video description above. ---Josh

Golden Spike is the middle trail of 3 popular trails run in succession. The southern trail that connects HWY 279 out of Moab to Golden Spike is Poison Spider Mesa, the northern trail that connects Gemini Bridges road to Golden Spike is Gold Bar Rim. The three in conjunction is called the Trifecta. Thanks for watching.
