Moab

I am taking my little boy this coming weekend. Will look at the links posted above. Initially, I am thinking of Fins and Things and maybe Elephant Hill is I can get a reservation. Chicken Corners not worth it.

I'm sure a little boy would have fun in the Wind Caves on Chicken Corners.

I’ll look that up. Thanks!!

Can't say which to avoid. Can say that I did all the pictured trails at stock height. I did however beef up my rock rails, diffs and rear bumper before the Moab trails (Hell's, Steel & Fins). Should have beefed up the fuel filter skid but that's another story...

Yeah, I have done several of those but going solo with the little boy, I'll stay a bit mellow and hopefully get some short hikes in. Hell's is prob a bit much but Fins should be good. I'll take him to Ouray next and will do all but Black Bear with him. Well, I'll do Black Bear if I am not solo Jeep/4x4.

Chicken Corners does have respectable scenery. The best way to do the Chicken Corners trail though is to take the left hand turn to Lockhart Basin that is halfway through Chicken Corners. The road to Lockhart basin has more challenges on it and much better scenery as well. You can follow that trail for ~50 miles all the way to southern Canyonlands Nat. Park if you want to. Or turn back when your gas gauge hits the halfway mark if you don't want to make the whole trip. I did this trail with a stock 2-door JKR on 35s with no problems.

I’m not concerned with my driving skills or any obstacles I may encounter I’m just simply asking which trails to avoid from a ground clearance standpoint with a stock Jeep Rubicon.

I would avoid Pritchett Canyon, Cliffhanger, Rose Garden Hill, 3D Pickle, Behind the Rocks, and the Rusty Nail part of Gold Bar Rim. The rest of the trails can be done depending on your tolerance for vehicular abuse. Any trail rated 5 or less is advised.

Grab a trailer hitch skid plate. Simple to plug in before the trails, remove afterwards.

If you want to get into Arches Nat Pk and there is a big wait at the entry and if you have a year pass then you can do Willow Springs Road to get in without the wait. Nice intro for my family, modest obstacles, and there are dino tracks!

Thank you that’s what I needed to know.

That is solid advice.

I have never been to Moab and really want to visit but I have a stock 2021 Jeep Rubicon what trails must I avoid with a stock Jeep. Thanks

You have a stock Rubicon. You can run 90% of the trails with no problem.
as others said, get an off road app like Trails Offroad. It tells you everything about the trails, how the trail difficulty is rated and is color coat trail to check at a glance, what other people opinions on the trail is and what they drive. It also is used for navigation for trails. Trails off recently a complete overhaul and is so easy to use.
Have fun, it’s an experience you will never forget.
