In Reply to: Moab trail suggestion wanted posted by Don Scott on Friday, February 23, 2001 at 11:35AM :
You will in Moab at the peak of the Easter Jeep Safari, so you better have your rooms already reserved by now or you will have to camp out. I plan to be there on Good Friday with a group of friends from central Utah. They always run the Golden Spike trail on Good Friday, which is a real busy day on this trail, so they leave pretty early. You should have at least one other vehicle to go along on this trail. I have never gone over this trail without at least one major break in the party. A better trail would be Fins and Things, which has a bunch of slickrock, is close to Moab and is just plain fun without the extreme carnage associated with other trails such as Golden Spike, Pritchett Canyon and Moab Rim. Kane Creek trail is quite long and has dozens of water crossings, which can be very treacherous if the weather is wet. A trip up Onion Creek and by the Fisher Towers is very scenic and worth the long drive. If this is your first trip to Moab, you would be better off to have a guide or go with a group, you can get into a bunch of trouble if you miss a trail marker. Lots of luck.
