My wife’s perspective:
Fins n Things- oh like slow dinosaurs!
Top of the world- like the titanic movie!
Poison spider- I won’t get bit in the Jeep!
Hells revenge- I’m catholic, it’s ok!
Elephant hill- elephants are slow I’m good!
Metal masher- no, can’t scratch the paint! ?

I’ve looked at MM, just not convinced my wife would be willing to take that route considering she will have roughly only 4k miles on her 24 Willys by the time we get out there ?

She gets freaked out by the names of the trails haha
Maybe try to sell her on Cliff Hanger.

Absoloutly - go to Moab. Even if it's only 2 hours.

Where to stay: Inca Inn (downtown), KOA Cabin (south edge of town), Archview RV Resort cabin (8 miles north of town).

Must do - Potash Road and up the Schaffer Switchbacks, back to Moab via Long Canyon (aka Pucker Pass), Harrah Pass/Chicken Corners, Fins N' Things, Out and back on the white Rim Trail via Mineral Springs Road (3 to 4 hours will get you to the top of Hard Scrabble Hill).

If you are going to St. George, stop in at Matt's Off-Road Garage. They have a gift shop and a short tour.

Eat at the Moab Diner.

Slideshow/movie from my 2021 trip. the Moab stuff starts around 3:20.

Forgot about the KOA, we've stayed in one of their Cabins for a week before I built the trailer, good option.

I believe Sun Outdoors has cabins in their camp sites as well.

Any recommendations on where to stay in St. George and Moab?
We stay at the Best Western Settlers Point in Washington, UT, it's at the north end of St. George. As others have said, there's hotels/motels all over the St. George area. Basically get in late, have dinner, leave early.

In Moab we always rent a condo. Retired, so we stay several days. We don't like hotels. We like to do some cooking/BBQing & have room to spread out & relax. My wife will not consider anything without an attached bathroom, camping days are long past.

I agree with others on doing Fins & Things & Hells revenge. We took friends on their first trip to Moab, did those trails, & they had a great time on them. Plus, they got their first BOH's.

Be a lot better if you could squeeze in an extra day. After a day or two, you will wish you could stay longer.
