 | Deadman's Ridge Trail
Deadman's Ridge is a expert-level trail in the Brand Trails complex north of Moab. It connects the southern end of the Lazy-EZ loop to the northern end of the Bar B loop. From there, it connects to the Longbranch, then descends to the Old 191 paved trail. The trail is 3.4 miles in length. It will climb from 4200 feet elevation at the Bar B to 4500 feet, with a lot of short ups and downs along its length. It descends to Old 191 at 4100 feet elevation. |
