Your favorite Moab trail (EASY)

[Mope]

My sister and her husband are passing through moab, and have about a day that they could spend there playing around. They have never been before, and would like to explore a bit.
They have a stock RAV 4, and what they would like to know is if there are any trails that they could take it on without damaging it, that would just be fun, but maybe have just a slight challenge.

Thanks!!

I would say Onion Creek...or maybe Spring canyon bottom

Gemini bridges is a pretty easy ride and scenic too. Or perhaps long canyon.

Fins and Things will give them a good taste.

If you want to spend the day driving easy trails, I recommend:

Long Canyon to
Potash Rd to
the back entrance to Canyonlands
hang a left at the fork to Muscle Mans Arch (get out and take pics of each other standing on it)
Double back to the fork and head up the Shaffer Trail to the Island in the Sky Visitor Center.

Thats a full day of breath taking views, stock friendly and just enough adventure. It will leave enough time for some fine dining at Pasta Jays afterwards.

I would be happy to be their guide (assuming our schedules match) as I've done this with many out of town guests from FL .

Fins & Things is what I was thinking too.

fins & things is a good trail but you only see a fraction of moab. cody, 1/4ellitic toy, & JL Rockies have good ideas and would eat up a full day

Thanks a bunch for all your input! I'll pass the info his way!

Who is the brave one walking the line?!?

secret spire is a nice scenic trail too.

I like to drive up to Hurrah Pass at sundown. Good place to relax and watch the sunset. They could also drive to chicken corners and stop and check out catacomb rock. Thats always fun to explore and walk through.

Don't pass up on the Thai Restuarant as well. Good authentic food. I alternate from Pasta Jay's to Singha Thai

Thanks for the great suggestions. I'll keep all this in mind when I have a chance to get down there.
