New to it all. Looking for the info that would be required to make to most of a week.

Have RTT and may be pulling a small travel trailer. Planning to have a camp site but also have the option for overnights on the trails.

Open to folks who may like to join.
August 7-14

Talk to Justin @Anchor Mtn he's the rep over the Moab area.. there is lots to see and do, really depends on what your goal for the trip is.

Before I get carried away with my 2 cents are you asking about campsite, single and multi day trails, navigation to trails or all theses things don’t want to insult u if you already have a plan. Also what vehicles will you be taking ie stock truck

August is brutally hot in Moab. You will want to get up in elevation the best you can to camp at night. Warner Campground is awesome... but small and fills up fast. I believe you can make reservations online several weeks in advance. There are a few BLM/FS spots up on Polar Mesa as well. Either option will put you about 45min-1hr outside of Moab and around 8900ft in elevation.
Trails list for stock rigs is a mile long but heres the highlights:
Fins N Things
Hurrah Pass/Chicken Corners
White Rim(2-3 days) Permit required
Postash Rd/Shafer Switchbacks/Long Canyon
Tusher Tunnel
Dome Plateau
Gemini Bridges/Bull Canyon
Hidden Canyon/HIdden canyon Overlook
Hey Joe Canyon
Onion Creek

Let me know if you need more detail.
