Moab trail recommendations?
Hey Folks~ I'm prepping for my first trip to Moab in my first Jeep. I live in Boulder, CO and I've had my JK off road four times thus far, flexed it a bit nothing too challenging.
Looking for all your insight and recommendations on trails to begin with and what I can work up to over a 3 day period. I'm looking for trails that will challenge me, give a pucker or two, but nothing that'll get myself in trouble. I'm heading out there with some Moab experienced folks, but their moto-x heads.
Thoughts?

I would say Fin's n Things for starters, and you can't go wrong with my favorite....Hell's Revenge. Get yourself a book by Charles A. Wells called "Guide To Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails". The book has detailed trail information as well as GPS Coordinates. Enjoy and be safe.

I've done Hell's Revenge, Cliffhanger, Kane Creek Canyon, and Poison Spyder in a lifted Liberty on 31s. So all these are no problem for a JK on 32s. Two fun runs for the scenery are Long Canyon and Hurrah Pass.
On Kane Creek there are a lot of stream crossing so water depth is an issue.
