Where to Run · Utah
Moab
Slickrock and ledge country. Fins & Things and Hell's Revenge are doable in a full-size on 35s if you pick your line; Poison Spider, Top of the World, and Gemini Bridges are fine on the easier bypasses. Pritchett Canyon and the tightest slots on Hell's Revenge are not — a Raptor is too wide and the recovery bill is real.

The rules of this place
Easter Jeep Safari week turns every trailhead into gridlock; summer heat on bare rock will cook your tires and your cooling system.
Also worth the trailer miles
Little Sahara Recreation Area
BLM land, about 60,000 acres split into Sand Mountain, White Sands, and Black Mountain riding zones. A day-use fee and OHV sticker get you in; the terrain ranges from big open bowls to steep dune faces that will stall an underpowered rig.
Sand Hollow State Park
Red sand dunes and slickrock in the same park, outside Hurricane. West Rim, Top of the World, and Milt's Mile give you technical rock without leaving the dune area behind you. A day-use fee and permit apply.
Paiute ATV Trail
A roughly 275-mile loop through the Tushar Mountains near Marysvale, Richfield, and Beaver, plus more than 1,000 miles of connecting spurs. Free to run, and the main loop is legal and wide enough for a full-size truck; a lot of the spurs are 50-inch width limited and simply will not take a Raptor.
