Nah. Try the Lion's back:

You should see what it looks like when they don't make it. It's a long drop.
I read that you can't try that anymore because the land is private and was just sold.

You are correct, the Lion's Back is no longer in use. The trails around it are still active and fairly hairy.

Our experiences offroading in Moab are at http://www.prellwitz.org/pics/vacation/Moab/Utah0002.html. It was fun, but nowhere near as crazy as this stuff! But Kate, this shows that we really did take the Mercedes off-road!
