Sweet vid! So cool to see Lion's Back again, as my family used to go down to Moab all the time when I was younger and I'm proud to say I've been up and down this hill once with my dad when I was like ten or something. Scary but awesome just to know you did it :)
Thank you for this video. Now those who are now incapable of experiencing the trail can do so. I read you posted that your hands sweat when you watch it...you're not the only one! My girlfriend likes to ride shotgun off-road. She's so cool...when I showed her this vid she nearly slid right off her seat! What mods have you done to your rig? You got pics/a forum where you hang?
@kowz4u it is closed. They closed it a couple of years ago. It's always been on private property. Close to the end they actually started charging people $20 a vehicle. Then they found out about the liability, and close it completely.
it's not THAT steep remember the cam is mounted on top of the vehicle, don't get me wrong speaking as someone who has driven those same exact tire tracks it is a hell of a challange but as long as you have a capable rig and take your time you'll do just fine. I still hate the turn around at the top. Maybe I am nuts but I'd still like to try it in the rain.
Yeah it's about 60 degrees at the begining, First time I took my Sami up it I loved it. Especially looking at nothing but sky the first 20 feet or so.
Alright, what do you mean a "pinhole" camera? I know what one is in the world of traditional still photography, but not how it relates to a video camera. Cool video anyways.
It's about the size of a quarter and the glass is maybe the size of a pen tip. It just plugs into a standard video camera for recording. It's also called a "Spy cam or Nanny Cam."
One thing.. maybe the second truck should wait until the other one is done and out of the way.. It would suck it two drivers had to suffer because of the failing of another.
it was purchased by someone who wanted to build condos at the base. I was there in June and they still haven't done anything with the land (Lions back was always private land btw).
The band is Prong and the song is Snap Your Fingers. We were in Moab last week and did part of Hells Revenge and Steel Bender. Anyone know why Lions Back is closed now?
holy crap!!!! i was in moab for the jeep safari a few weeks ago and i had no idea how steep lion's back was!!!! we drove by it and it looked like fun ( it looks a bit scarier now but still cool) but then i saw that it was closed! cuz the new property owner didn't want to charged with lawsuits for people dying!
I'd climb it...with a helicopter! Very nice video! Definitely 5 stars. I bet your brakes were hot enough to roast hot dogs on by the time you got to the bottom! I was involuntarily clenching up just watching this video...seriously some crazy stuff.
its to bad that it is closed now. at least i can say that i did climb it back it '92 in my stock '91 nissan p/u at night. if it was in the day time i dont know if i would of climb it. the couple of beers did heip
its not realy that seep or hard to do its just maybe like 18 feet wide and is just realy scary if your afraid of hights iv only went up it 1 time in my jeep cherokee
Lion's Back is now closed because of how many vehicles have actually fallen off the side after people lose control. The new owner got tired of dealing with having to clean up wrecks and also deal with the legal matters that are involved. Lion's Back is very amazing, and I don't even think this video really does it justice. That last drop down to the ground, it is so incredibly steep. No one who hasn't been there would never truly know just how steep it really is. Your eyes can easily trick you.
Thanks for sharing... Been there too. (mtb)

Lion's Back is now closed because of how many vehicles have actually fallen off the side after people lose control. The new owner got tired of dealing with having to clean up wrecks and also deal with the legal matters that are involved. Lion's Back is very amazing, and I don't even think this video really does it justice. That last drop down to the ground, it is so incredibly steep. No one who hasn't been there would never truly know just how steep it really is. Your eyes can easily trick you.
