Default Going to Moab alone

Well, just as the title says, everyone I know can't make the trip, but I'm still going.
I'll be there for 2 full days, I would love some advice for some trails that I can go at alone. I'm looking more for scenery than difficulty, as once again no one will be with me.

Thanks

When are you going? I'm heading up there next weekend if you want to meet up.

Most of the popular or shorter trails are fine to go alone. I have done Gemini, secret spire, dellenbuagh tunnel, dome plateau and top of the world alone. You would probably be fine alone on fins or hells revenge since they are so popular if you got into any trouble, it probably wouldn't be more than half an hour at most until another group came upon you.

Why? There are a lot of trails that are not too remote. Also, especially this time of year, there is a lot if traffic on the trails. I would never be wheeling if I only went with a group. Just be smart and careful, plan ahead and let someone know where you are going and you will be fine.

I've done plenty of trails alone in Moab. I dont do the major ones, but Gemini, Fins..all trails that have tons of traffic and always passing people on. I dont go on anything i would need a spotter thats for sure.The scenic ,popular, easy trails are fine to take a drive on alone.

And if you ever want to hit trails in the area, im just down the road in Glenwood. I could show you around Lead King Basin, Schofield and pearl pass trails this summer. Im usually always up there in the summer.
