Originally a wagon trail, Steel Bender leads you through 20 miles of scenic views of Mill Creek, Moab, and the La Sal Mountains. This trail can prove to be very difficult in a stock vehicle which is why I have given Steel Bender a rating of Difficult. I do not recommend running this trail alone, and spotting is a must on some of the obstacles. The most memorable obstacle for me was “The Wall,” which is this vertical wall that you must drop down. For some reason I decided to take the seeming more difficult off camber section to the left. It was very tipsy for my lifted Grand Cherokee, but I managed. Looking back I wish I would have gone down The Wall. At the end of the trail is a section of rock that is fenced off, in there is Petroglyphs that really round out this trail.
