I highly recommend the back way in or out of Arches NP, Willow Springs Road. Easy but fun way in.

Moab 2017
I don't see where anyone has started a post on this yet so here goes.
Meet up with another member on Monday and we ran dome plateau. Only a couple of tough spots really but overall very enjoyable. We had to bypass the second tough spot only because we would have been nose deep in the sand. Just not enough approach angle.
The view was astounding and we even were able to see an arch that few get to see.
Hope to have lots more to share.

Ran Potash / Shafer/ pucker pass (long canyon) loop yesterday. All really easy stuff. The family rig, a stock Tundra TRD, came too.
The only tricky part was a boulder ledge inside pucker pass that wasn't mentioned anywhere, I wonder if it's developed within the last year. There's no way around since it's canyon walls on both sides, I just went straight down and used my left slider. The Tundra contacted its frame rail. We didn't stop for pictures, unfortunately.

Fallen Peace Officer Trail
We ran it because it basically intersected with our camp site. This wasn't a hard trail, no real obstacles but there was a hairpin turn and a small cliff. The trail felt like miles and miles of loose bumpy rock. In hindsight I wish we just did the better known Klondike Bluffs. The trail book gives this a "moderate" rating and I think it's too new to be on RR4W or traildamage.com, it wasn't difficult but it was rough compared to others that have better views and funner trail.

Oh and I did this during Fallen Peace Officer. Big, loose rocks for miles on end gets old and then I see this back at camp. On the bright side it's fully cosmetic, there's a thick bead of rubber to protect the rim and that's what apparently tore in a pinch.
And as it turns out, the super slider offers a lot more protection than the stealth/Mopar slider would, since the step rail sticks out from the body. I am glad I went with this version after a week in Moab.

Camp site in Sand Flats on Fins'n'Things
Sadly I didn't get to run it. Other forum members have, though!
Sand Flats road is boring and flat. There are some fun spurs to tool around on, though, but we didn't stop to take pictures. A trail sign on a spur that says "dead end in 1 mile" is an open invitation.

Me, another member, and a JK easily ran this one. It offered some amazing views and half a dozen stops of opportunity (good for sight seeing passengers), with some minor challenges along the way. We played it safe skipped or skirted the descent on two big rock steps the KL might have been able to make. There were plenty of 4-low rock climbs to be fun.
I'm hoping there's some dash cam footage waiting to be posted!

Tusher Tunnel
Very easy trail. Pretty much a rocky and sandy dirt road (non-TH don't be afraid). Cool tunnel and small slot canyon at the end.

Geyser Pass
Tried to run Geyser or La Sal pass, but there's still too much snow up there.

Not sure where or when, but I scraped the chin a few times. I think I need a lift and/or bumper

I guess I was on the rails a lot, too :blush:
