[QUOTE="BlackMamba, post: 763226, member: 1549"] Guide to Moab, UT Backroads and 4-Wheel Drive trails by Charles Wells. He lists the trails in 3 categories: easy, moderate, and difficult. The difficult trails are the typical Moab jeep trails - big tires, lots of clearance and good entry and exit angles. We stayed away from the difficult trails - I have 37s and good approach angle but we were running solo so not worth the risk. The author lists all his favorite trails on page 10 (in bold) - many of those trails are easy to moderate. Some trails I enjoyed (some of these are technical, slow trails, but worth the drive even if you can't go fast): 1. Tower Arch (check at front gate to Arches National Park to make sure Eye of the Whale Arch road is open as a cut thru). 2. La Sal mountain loop. Lots of trail options here detailed in the trail guide. Cool temps and high altitude are a great contrast to most of Moab. 3. White Rim, Potash Rd., Shafer switchbacks. Good high speed fun at times. Look out for people on mountain bikes. Get the guide book. Very helpful. We could have stayed another few days - lots of cool trails.
