Looking for a good Day Trail

I'm going to be going on a pretty massive road trip in a week and one of the places I'm going to hit up is Moab, UT. I was hoping I could get some help from people who are familiar with the area and the trails, so I decided to come here.

First things first, I drive a 2007 Tahoe Z71 4x4 with BF Goodrich All-Terrains. I have a good amount of experience going off road in this vehicle, however it is mostly in the mud/clay around the Red River on the TX/OK border. This is the vehicle that I will be taking on trail.

I am looking for a trail that is as scenic as possible but as easy as possible (trail rating of around 2). The trail needs to be short enough to do in a half day, and smooth enough not to damage the vehicle. The research I have done makes me think that Chicken Corners would be a good match for me.

As I said, I'm just here looking for some professional assistance from people who have been in and around the area before. Unfortunately, I'm 23 years old, so renting a Rubicon is out of the question. I have considered taking some of the several tours offered, but that is a last resort.

I appreciate any advice you guys have for me, thank you!
 
When you get into Moab, stop at the local book store and pick this up:
"GUIDE TO Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails".
It's a very good book with very detailed routes and information.

I always keep a copy handy. There are many trails in that book and I've yet to explore all of them.

Good luck!
 
Just got back from the trip and had a great time. Ended up going down Long Canyon Trail due to time constraints but had a blast and we got to see some incredible scenery!
Definitely going to return someday.
