Don’t they show a little stubby thing?

Trails: I want to hit some scenic trails (no matter the difficulty), some technical trails, and also some must do trails (because when you get home everyone will ask you , did you do.......). Also, what about night riding? There has to be some awesome views of the stars out there, I would love for my son to see a sky that is not polluted by light. Also, while I would love to see the Needle's and hit elephant hill, I don't want to spend a lot of time on pavement. If possible, trails closer to Moab itself.

My thoughts:
Scenic:
Shafer Trail
Chicken Corner
Top of the World

Technical:
Poison Spyder
Golden Spike
Golden Bar Rim
Prichett's Canyon
Moab Rim Trail

Must Do:
Fin and Things
Hell's Revenge

Any other suggestions for someone who has never been to Moab? Must Do's? Don't do's? Ideas on daily grouping of trails to be on the trails the most per day and not driving on roads. And last but not least, I read there is some dinosaur tracks near the beginning of Poison Spyder, my 16yo is not "into" Dinosaurs like he used to be but he is still interested, any other must see dinosaur, archeological, interesting type sites to see along any trails?

Sorry about all the questions, just that trails interest me more than radios :)

I think a must see is Dead horse point. A good way to get to it with less pavement is through Long Canyon.
 
I have the same handheld CB you have, and it has almost the same range as my Cobra. I plan to keep the handheld for those that prefer to stay in the 20th century. We don't want them to be lonely on the trail, lol!
Which handheld CB do y'all have?

Disclaimer: just curious as I'm a student of ancient history.

I’m a Cobra 75 guy. WTH is GMRS?

What all do I need to be set up for GMRS? Can I just get a handheld battery power one? Do I need a different antenna than my Firestik?
