Mid Summit Trail 4W694
Mid Summit Trail (4W695)
Distance 2.27 Miles
Running Time: Approx. 45 min one way
Difficulty: Easy to More Difficult
Pass Needed: NO
The Mid Summit Trail (4W695) starts on the FS1701 Road and runs up hill to arrive at Moon Rocks and joins 4W694 (Summit) trail. This trail is for the most part fairly easy except for some very steep rocky hill climbs that can be next to impossible to climb if wet.
The Moon Rocks are in the same basic area as Funny Rocks but cover about 5 times the area. There are almost unlimited lines up the rocks providing challenge for about any type of 4x4.
There is a bypass of the rocks to the west side and through the woods. However, this is not the easiest bypass and you might find it better to climb the rocks instead! Use caution if there is a lot of dust and sand on the rocks as it diminishes traction and can be outright dangerous for walking on. Slips and falls with the subsequent trail rash to ones arms and hands is common.
For a taste of Moab with a northwest flavor, check out Moon Rocks and be sure to air down!
