I'm taking the family to Moab for Thanksgiving week. I've been reading a ton on all the trails and stuff to do in the area but wanted to get some firsthand advice from folks who might know the area and know our vehicles. I've got a stock Limited that I swapped for 18" wheels today. We want to get away a little bit and see some cool stuff without going over my limited skills or the capabilities of my truck. Any advice on where to go? Also, air down? How much? I did buy a portable compressor to air up when done if needed.

Gemini Bridges should be doable, if they haven't closed it. Gotta check out Horseshoe Bend. Try taking the Gemini Bridges road there ( most the way anyway). Try renting a side by side for a day and play on the slick rock. Totally worth it. The Expy won't suffice there. Hell's Revenge is really a blast. Fins and things is good too. Metal Masher is a bit more advanced. There is a back country loop through canyonlands NP the Expy would be great driving. Give yourself plenty of time, take water and food. And a camera.

Check out Onion Creek. We drove that two summers ago in our 18 Platinum with the 22" wheels without issues. Gorgeous scenery and you cross the creek (which is only like 2-3" deep) like 20 - 30 times (fun to count them as you go with the kids).

Check with Rory Irish at Moab Motorsports (trail mater on YouTube). He knows every rock on every trail in the area and which ones your rig can safely handle.
