The Rambler

NOTE: Though there are a few challenging slickrock sections,
the Maze is a great biking trip for riders of all abilities.
BONUS: The Maze, Utah
The Maze is a jungle of redrock full of canyons that lead to dead ends. Once
you dare to step foot inside The Maze, you best make sure you have superior
sense of orientation and great map reading skills – if you also want to make it
out of there at some point. Great deal of hiking experience is required to take
on this hike and luckily most visitors to the Canyonlands National Park are distracted
by the inaccessibility and remoteness of the area and stay away from it.
As a result, neighboring Island in the Sky district of the same National Park gets
more than 264,000 visitors a year, whereas The Maze only sees 2,000. There
are no marked trails in The Maze making it easy for an inexperienced hiker to
get lost, however you would find no random skeletons of desperately lost hikers
lying in the desert. So far only the most experienced trekkers dared to enter
The Maze and many explore it by driving around in a Jeep so the area remains
without recorded fatalities. It is still one of the most dangerous hikes in the
United States of America and unless you want to be the first skeleton in The
Maze, make sure you gain enough experience hiking less dangerous trails first.
