BASE jumping on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management that surround Moab is legal!
Please respect these few rules, the jumping sites and the local community so that we can continue to jump here.
Do NOT land on paved roads
Leave the public lands and the town free of trash after packing
Stay on designated roads (Download maps here)
Camping is only allowed in designated paid sites and dispersed camping areas (Download maps here)
No person shall dump or otherwise deposit human waste on public lands - PACK IT OUT! (wag-bags available at all local gear shops)
LEAVE NO TRACE
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 jump is self-regulated.
Therefore, if you notice inappropriate behavior by other jumpers, talk to them!
Please do not advise unknown jumpers: You do not know their skill level, experience and mental state.
Please do not listen to people who try to convince you to go beyond your level of experience or skills. Take one step at a time and progress slowly. The cliffs will be here longer than any of us.
