Behind the Rocks is a great trail, with some really nice scenery and a couple of pretty good obstacles. You'll go down White Knuckle Hill, but if your trail leader lets people try going back up, do it! It can be a pretty long day if there are a lot of rigs, and it involves about 10 miles of highway each way. Golden Spike is fun also, one of Moab's classics. It is a long day, actually three trails in one (Poison Spider, Golden Spike, and Gold Bar Rim). There are a few miles of highway driving involved, and the start and exit are in different locations. Moab Rim is another classic, not terribly difficult, but some pretty good pucker factor in a couple places. It's an in-and-out trail, has the least amount of highway driving of the three, and is the shortest in length. Really, you can't go wrong with any of these, I'd just wait and see what is available on the days you want. Oh yeah, Hell's Revenge is definately a must-do, but if it was me, I'd run it one evening after the EJS group is done. You can run it in a couple hours, instead of sitting in line all day with 40 other rigs
