Three more raffle tickets at $25 each. These will only be available during registration (see below).

Here are items you can purchase when you’re in Moab:

Entrance fee to the national parks for the Elephant Hill trail (in Canyonlands National Park) and/or Arches National Park Family Run. One entrance fee will get you into both parks for 7 days. The vehicle entrance fee is approx. $30 and includes all the occupants of your vehicle. If you already have a National Park pass, you will not need to pay this fee.
Gear at vendor night. Not all vendors will have stuff for sale, but many do, and it’s really cool stuff.
Really expensive Utah beer

Overnight Run Fee

If you choose an overnight run, an additional fee (per vehicle) for food and permit costs may be required, depending on which run you select. This is only for people who choose the Kokopelli or the San Rafael Swell overnight run, where the leaders may be providing a meal. Trail selection will start in March (we’ll notify you so you don’t miss it).

Tickets for the Friday night raffle will be available during registration only

Your registration for Cruise Moab will include one (1) raffle ticket.
During registration, you can buy up to three (3) more raffle tickets at $25 each. This is an optional, one-time opportunity to get additional raffle tickets.
No raffle tickets will be sold during Cruise Moab.
All money from raffle tickets will go to land use organizations that fight to keep our trails open.
The only other way to get an additional raffle ticket is to lead a trail. You can get one (1) additional raffle ticket for each trail you lead.
To repeat: you can only buy additional raffle tickets during registration. If you skip buying additional tickets during registration, you’ll just have the one ticket. There will be no second chance to buy more tickets.

Camping and other accommodations

Camping will be available at the Old Spanish Trail Arena. For maximum fun, camp right at our event headquarters. For the best Cruise Moab experience (especially if this is your first Cruise Moab), we highly recommend camping right at the Old Spanish Trail Arena. There are lots of options for camping, from pitching a ground tent on the race track to sleeping in a roof-top tent or a camping trailer — there are even a few spots for RVs with hookups for electric & water, which you will need to reserve in advance. More details here.

Please note: camping is not included in your registration fee.

If you prefer to stay in a hotel or condo, we recommend looking for a place on the south end of town.

Trail selection

Trail selection will take place in mid March. We’ll give you plenty of notice ahead of time on how to get ready to choose your trails.

Trail details

The trails are all great fun and each trail is unique; easier, harder, more scenic, etc. Even the surface you’re wheelin’ on can be different from trail to trail. We have a variety of trails available to suite a variety of vehicles and driver skill levels, have a look at our trail descriptions.

Trail difficulty

We use the same 1-10 rating system as the Red Rock 4-Wheelers, the local Moab club. While our ratings are similar, we have adjusted the ratings of a few trails based on our recent experience. We calibrate our rating with the notion that “4” is the highest rating that should be attempted by a stock 4X4 (stock tires & suspension). View our trail ratings

Sponsorships & Vendor Expo Night

Our Vendor Expo on Thursday night has grown to be one of the favorite parts of the event for many people. If you’re interested in exhibiting for your company or sponsoring a trail, please register here. All prospective vendors must coordinate with our committee in advance. Due to the popularity of Vendor Night at Cruise Moab, we may not be able to accommodate all interested groups.

TLCA membership is required

Cruise Moab is a TLCA sanctioned event, and you are required to be a TLCA member to participate. We could not have Cruise Moab without the insurance that TLCA makes available to us. Therefore, all registrants at TLCA sanctioned events must be current TLCA members. Click here to join TLCA or renew your membership.

Cancellation policy

If you need to cancel your registration, you must notify us by email at registration@cruisemoab.com by March 1 to receive a full refund (minus any credit card processing fees that we cannot recoup). No refunds will be made for notifications received after this date.

Firearm policy

Cruise Moab is a 4WD event, not a shooting or gun event. While guns are not prohibited, we ask that you keep them safely stored in your vehicle or otherwise concealed at all times. Open carry of firearms is expressly prohibited for all participants in order to maintain a family friendly environment.

Non-Toyota participants

We do allow registration and participation for non-Toyota based vehicles, but keep in mind that you’re attending a Toyota 4WD event. Be prepared to endure some friendly teasing, especially if your vehicle breaks on the trail. It’s likely that by the time you depart, you’ll want to sell your rig and buy an old Toyota. Please note: regardless of your vehicle, you must be a TLCA member.
