At the 2013 event, it was the amount of support was evident as many previous sponsors continued helping, and some big new sponsors were thankfully added to the sponsors list. Damon Cardone of HCR Racing has been driving in Moab's off roading region for over five years. As a long travel suspension manufacturer, he was pleased to see top shock companies King, Fox, and Walker Evans participating at Rally on the Rocks.
From Wednesday to Saturday, drivers and their co-pilots hit the trails for an experience of a lifetime. With more than twenty trails to choose from, course-markers provided signs of specific trails ratings. Ranging from 1-10, there were several different options for drivers of all abilities. Beginners and veterans alike, the area was packed with side-by-sides trying to navigate their way through the different terrain.

Rally
on the Rocks offers trails for both beginners
& experienced drivers |
Trails marked with a one, two, or three are fairly mild and catered towards beginner drivers. With grated dirt and less bumpy roads, these trails focused more on the spectacular views.
One trail in particular, Chicken Corners, has a rating of two and features breath-taking views of both the Colorado River Gorge and the Kane Creek Canyon. However, the more daring adventists can tackle trails rating between 7-10. On these wild roads, rollovers are likely and high precision driving combined with spotting from experienced trail leaders is highly recommended.
