Moab Trails Suggestions for Next Saturday

Give some suggestions for some mild trails for next Saturday.

I've run: Poison Spider, Golden Spike and Gold Bar in one day back when my rover was on 31" tires without much drama.

My rover is now on 33" tires.

I have a winch and recovery gear. No lockers but really good front and rear traction control.

I'd like to run something similar to those trails. We will be running solo.
We plan to head down Friday afternoon and stay the night in a hotel, then head out early for the trail. And head back home Saturday night after the trail ride.

I have the Moab trail guides book for coordinates and a map.

Poison is pretty mild but interesting, so is fins n things. Hells revenge would be fun, not hard for your truck, but fun.

Forget about Moab and all of its trash.

Head south to Needles and the Abajos. There's an infinite number of day-long runs with a little map recon first.

If you have not done them before, I 'd vote for Hell's Revenge, Fins and Things, and Porcupine Rim which are all close together and lots of fun with great views.

Rose Garden Hill to the back way in to Top of the World is fun. I think you can connect this with Hidden Valley as well??

Fins-n-things, yes please! Nothing crazy difficult but lots of fun, start with Baby Lion's Back to warm up.
Klondike Bluffs trail to Salt Creek Rd (?) then up to Tower Arch, through eye of the whale to Balanced rock was challenging in some spots but lots of scenery. You need pretty much all day if you go at a leisurely pace.

Having said that if you've run Poison and Golden neither of these will be as difficult and thus may not be of interest.

Nobody should be running the tough and difficult Rose Garden Hill solo IMO. Quite an isolated place this time of year. Lots of breakage on Rose Garden.

I did it solo in this thing two Novembers ago. Stock Ford F350 just with 35s.

Maybe not my brightest moment but with good driving I made it in one ascent (no winch, no lockers)
