Just a few miles west of Moab along scenic Potash Road (Highway 279), the Poison Spider Mesa Trail begins with an immediate taste of what makes Moab world-famous. After leaving the trailhead near the Dinosaur Tracks area, the route quickly climbs away from the Colorado River through a series of steep sandstone ledges, slickrock shelves, and rocky switchbacks.From the Poison Spider Mesa trailhead, you have access to several of Moab’s most famous and challenging 4x4 routes. The trail network allows you to create anything from a half-day scenic ride to an all-day “Trifecta” adventure.Poison Spider MesaThis is the primary trail leaving the trailhead. It climbs steeply onto the mesa via obstacles like The Waterfall and The Wedgie before opening into expansive slickrock terrain with spectacular views of the Colorado River, Arches National Park, and Moab Valley.Golden SpikeAbout halfway through Poison Spider Mesa, a junction leads to Golden Spike, one of Moab’s legendary trails. Golden Spike was specifically created to connect Poison Spider Mesa and Gold Bar Rim and includes famous obstacles such as Golden Crack, Golden Stairs, Double Whammy, and Body Snatcher.Gold Bar RimGold Bar Rim can be reached either directly from Poison Spider via Golden Spike or by connecting trails farther north. This trail follows the rim above Moab Valley and provides some of the most dramatic overlooks in the area. It eventually exits near Highway 191 and Gemini Bridges Road.Many off-roaders refer to the combination of:1. Poison Spider
2. Golden Spike
3. Gold Bar Rim

One of the biggest innovations on the new 2026 Polaris RZR Pro R Ultra Edition is its factory-integrated Active Sway Bar Link system, developed as part of the new DYNAMIX DVS suspension package in collaboration with Suspension Direct Inc. Unlike traditional sway bars that are either fixed or manually disconnected, the Ultra Edition uses electronically controlled hydraulic sway bar links that actively adjust in real time based on terrain and driving conditions. The system can rapidly lock and unlock the sway bars up to 200 times per second, allowing the suspension to deliver maximum articulation in rocks and rough terrain while still maintaining impressive stability and cornering control at higher speeds.
