Best scenic easy trails

The wife & I are doing a week road trip the first week of October from Phoenix to Zion, Bryce, then on to MOAB. I am a very experienced off-road driver, however my 18 TRDORDC is still stock. I know my limitations and will just be checking out a few easy & hopefully scenic trails. I looked online and found a few easy rated trails. Out of these which is the most scenic or what do you recommend? Thanks!!

Chicken Corners
La Sal Pass
Geysel Pass
Dome Plateau
White Rim

 

Chicken Corners is easy and very scenic.

Gemini Bridges is worth a look.

 

Nice pic. When I get there I may just rent a Jeep for the day just so I wont be as limited & be able to check out more of the area.

 

I wouldn't skip La Sal Pass. I'd wanted to run it since our first trip to Moab in '03 and we finally ran it back in May. Excellent scenery; the views of Moab and Spanish Valley are fantastic, and the talus shelf road, while short, is a lot of fun. My only concern with the trail would be the potential for snow in October. Edit - a stock Tacoma will do the trail, no problem. We had a down day and decided to do something easy in the Jeep.

Beautiful pics!!

 

White rim is totally doable in a stock Tacoma. Was out there two weeks ago.
If doing the whole rim prepare your passengers for the length. One of mine was getting tired of the ride. Beautiful can’t wait to get back! Considering moving out that way, too many people in metro Atlanta.

As a side question for y’all that live out that way. What would you consider the best time of year for hiking in Arches and Zion and wheeling around Moab? (Read less crowds)
We were out there after August 20 when the kids in Denver where back in school, wasn’t to bad.

 

When my wife and I still lived in ABQ, our favorite times of year to visit Moab were mid to late March (beating the EJS crowds) or late September. Late September weather is nearly perfect, while it can be highly variable in March. We've hit everything from snow to temps in the upper 70s in March. Crowds aren't bad at either time. We've been there in November, before Thanksgiving, and it was nearly a ghost town.

 

Such a cool trip!

 

Looks like I'll be going to Moab in August this year, mostly to fly with some other paramotor pilots, but the most favorable weather for that is the first couple hours after dawn and the last couple hours up to sunset... so I'll have lots of time in between.

I'd like to get out and see some scenery in the truck... stock SR5 4x4 with more 'street' tires. Easy and scenic will be preferred! I will probably also bring my fat tire folding electric bike for some light biking, too.
