Arizona Trailblazers Hiking Club
Multi-day 4WD Trips to the Maze
Oct 10-16, 2026 and Oct 17-22, 2026. Both hikes full

The trip	I am excited to let you know about 2 backcountry camping and hiking trips to the Maze District of Canyonland National Park. A remote location accessible only by high clearance, low range 4WD vehicles, the Maze is the least visited district of Canyonlands. The Maze is known for its unique geological formations, including numerous sandstone spires and fins, entrenched canyons, and sheer-walled cliffs. Although the scenery is spectacular, hiking is very challenging. Unmarked and unmaintained trails (routes) weave up and over canyons with steep slickrock slopes, large boulders, high slickrock benches, and sheer drop-offs. These routes are more of a lesson in rock climbing as they twist through the steep rugged terrain which requires climbing up or down using small handholds carved in the slickrock. 7-day trip: Oct 10-16, 2026. Hike Rating is A and requires experience with difficult off-trail scrambling. Maximum of 7 hikers on this trip. Trip is full. Professionally guided 5-day 4WD backcountry tour in the Maze, starting and ending in Moab UT. Plus 1 day before the tour for driving to Moab, and 1 day after tour for driving home. Participant is responsible for their transportation to and from Moab, and for making their hotel reservations in Moab. Cost for guided 5-day 4WD tour: $2,083 per person.

Price does not include the tip for the guide (typically 15-20% of the tour) or cost of hotels in Moab before and after the tour. 6-day trip: Oct 17-22, 2026.
