I know there has been people that have gone to Moab... Help some Moab virgins out!!

 

You can easily do hells revenge & fins n things in one day. Other you can do gold bar rim, top of the world, secret spire

 

Make sure when you do Kane Creek the last obstacle you have a spotter because this can happen


& there's a cliff off to the drivers side.
If you look hard enough my black jeep is at the bottom of that hill

 

Murder

I was on this trail run with you. I was about two jeeps behind you. Yeah I thought Joe was going to send his jk off that cliff.... Good times

 

Bump bump bump

 

First get the Charles Wells guide to Moab. Don't go without it. Second, get the Lattitude 40 maps of the area.

Here's my take on a plan,

Monday: Fins & Things, Tusher Tunnel, and high speed tour of Arches NP*
Tuesday: Seven Mile Rim and dinosaur tracks**
Wednesday: Top of the World (with a friend) and high speed tour of Canyonlands Islands in the Sky***
Thursday: Elephant Hill (with a group; very long day)

* High speed tour of Arches NP: Get your map a the gate, go all the way to the loop at the end of the road and hike to Landscape Arch. Work your way back as time allows.

** Stop at the Moab information center in town and ask about the recently discovered dinosaur tracks in the cow field near the parking area on Mill Canyon Road

*** High speed tour of Canyonlands Islands in the Sky: Just keep and eye on the clock.

Food,
- Jax (check out the name of the laundarymat next door)
- Milt's for a greasy burger and shake
- Moab Diner (once for breakfast and another time for dinner)
- Moab Brewery

IMHO, none of the Mexican food places are any good.

 

I didn't catch what difficulty of trails you wanted...

Cliff Hanger has to be one of my favorites...scenery is non stop.... and it's technical but doable for a equipped Jeep...
The trifecta of trails, poison spider, golden spike, golden bar rim, is also a fun and technical set of trails, but make for a long day... the scenery is great but starts to look the same towards the end of the day...
I would put min requirements of 2 1/2 lift with 33's and rear lockers on those trails,, lockers are nice to have on these trails but can be done without them with good driving and spotting....

Hell's revenge and fins-n-things can be done on the same day...
you want to at least go out to the river overlook by Hell's Gate, which also makes for a great photo op.... you can then look over Hell's gate and see what you think,,,, it helps if you can find someone that has run it and knows the line....

Seven Mile rim was also a fun trail, easy and scenic...
Schaffer switch backs into the White Rim trail is very scenic,,drive part of the white rim trail (we went in about 30 miles) then come out pot ash road... and you get great views of the colorado river... and Thelma and Louis point..

one's I've been on and would put lower on the list are gemini bridges, bull canyon, and kane creek...

check out traildamage.com the trail ratings are pretty good...
