Restricted Areas:
Mineral and Hell Roaring Canyons are now part of the Moab Canyons Wildlife Area which has the goal of minimizing disturbance to wildlife.
The Fruit Bowl is in close proximity to nesting raptors and the canyon bottoms are home to a relic herd of big horn sheep which are sensitive to unpredictable sources of stress.
Please be respectful of the wildlife and avoid jumping in these areas.
In 2020 the Moab Field Office completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) that analyzed limiting roped and aerial activities in the Mineral and Hell Roaring Canyons (https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/1504945/510). The EA established the area as Special Area now known as the Moab Canyons Wildlife Area with the goal of minimizing disturbance to wildlife.
BASE jumping is a self-regulated sport,
so if you see behavior that seems inappropriate, consider having a respectful conversation with the jumper involved.
When it comes to offering advice, please avoid giving unsolicited guidance to unfamiliar jumpers—you may not be aware of their skill level, experience, or current state of mind.
Remember to trust your own instincts and boundaries. Don’t feel pressured to push beyond your experience or skills; progress at your own pace. The cliffs aren’t going anywhere—they’ll be here for generations to come.
