Land OwnerBLM
Rockstacker is probably the most technically difficult trail in the whole Moab area. It has tight switch backs with large rock drops right at the apex. It has very steep sections with drops in the middle that can't be avoided. This is a tedious and technically demanding trail.

Cliffhanger rd not Rockstacker rd for prev post. TF has no edit button

I recommend for a loop continue up Rockstacker rd to pothole rd then take Rockstacker trail half way down and take the Jackson shortcut back to where u were to the jeep rd and then a full Ajab dh run. You don’t get the dh below Rockstacker but do get Ahab wo climbing back up.
Its a fun dh with 2-3 really sketchy sections very early. This is first time I rode everything. Its great to ride but not as exciting as other greats. The rest is a lot of basic tech stuff but still fun.
No, Moab is not the most technical arra in UT but this one does have two or three of the sketchiest drops imo of Moab. Portal/GBR has more more more sections for sure but this seems to have that one thats a lil bit more crash inviting.

There are a handful of short double black sections, more risky than anything on Ahab. If you don't ride those, the rest of the trail is mostly boring, with mostly flat traversing, easier and less fun than Hymasa.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
