Cruise Moab returns April 15–19, 2026. The event brings together Toyota 4×4 enthusiasts from across the nation for one of the most celebrated off-road events in the Southwest. Hosted by the Rising Sun 4×4 Club, this annual gathering blends rugged trail exploration, community spirit, and breathtaking desert scenery. It creates an unforgettable four-day experience just outside Moab, Utah.
Cruise Moab isn’t a typical trail run. It’s a celebration of capability, camaraderie, and adventure. Whether you drive an iconic Land Cruiser or a capable Toyota 4×4 of any year, this event gives you the chance to test your rig. Trails are suited to all skill levels. From scenic beginner routes to more technical terrain that challenges even experienced drivers, every day brings something new.
The event headquarters at the Old Spanish Trail Arena serves as a central hub. Registration, tech inspections, vendor showcases, and social nights all happen here. The Thursday Vendor Expo and Friday night dinner with raffle are event highlights. Participants share stories, check out cool gear, and connect with others who love the trail life.
Guided trail runs kick off each morning. Experienced trail leaders help drivers navigate Moab’s iconic rock landscapes. You can choose trails that match your comfort and experience. Options range from scenic drives through red rock vistas to challenging rock crawl sections that demand attention and technique.
Cruise Moab also uses a trail rating system. This helps drivers decide what’s right for their vehicles and skill levels. Whether you seek fun family routes or technical lines that push your rig, there’s a trail that fits your style.
