Overview

The Kokopelli Trail is a 142-mile backcountry route stretching from Moab, Utah, to Grand Junction, Colorado. Kokopelli Road is a popular section of the trail from I-70 to the Utah border. Get ready for an epic off-roading experience as you navigate through the sand, desert foliage, and sandstone monoliths with fantastic views at every turn. Closer to the state border, the terrain gets wild, with deep canyons formed by millions of years of erosion. These canyons give you an up-close view of the Colorado Plateau's ancient geology. Bring your camera because Kokopelli Road is a scenic and most easily accessible piece of the Kokopelli Trail.
