The bad part of Moab is the travel day each way, but the views are awesome on most of the trip! My favorite area is around Mexican Hat, we talked about staying there a night on the next trip and exploring the area. Mexican Hat is a tiny town in the cliff over looking the San Juan river with a population of less than 100 people, there are a couple of hotels, the one that we had lunch at. http://www.sanjuaninn.net/
The two main parks are Goosenecks State Park http://www.americansouthwest.net/utah/mexican_hat/goosenecks_state_park.html and the Valley of the Gods http://www.americansouthwest.net/utah/mexican_hat/valley_of_the_gods.html Check out the unpaved 4WD trail, FR 244, Johns Canyon Rd. in this pic, looks like fun! http://www.americansouthwest.net/utah/mexican_hat/muleypoint_l.html
This pic is cool!

From the highway we saw a few gates with roads to who knows where? The area had a bunch of prospecting and mining, so lots of roads to be explored.
