Is that from the Buck Canyon overlook ? I’m going there in May, I can’t wait !

Looks like Buck Canyon! We just did a trip in mid-January, and did Arches and Canyonlands. Absolutely worth it, especially if you like off-roading as well.

Well, I won't have too much time for off roading I think. I'm doing a three weeks trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco that will include Las Vegas, Grand Canyon North rim, Petrified Forest, Mesa Verde, Arches, Canyonlands, Yellowstone, Glacier, Seattle, Olympic and then Redwood. So yeah, we will limit ourselves to the roads and do some easy to mid-level trails in each park.

If you take only one day for Canyonlands I recommend Dead Horse Point then a out-and-back hike down from Island to Murphy Hogback.

Moab is an off-roading paradise. I drive across the country to go every year

And if you're into Mountain Biking there is the Slick Rock Trail which is absolutely amazing as well.

Yeah, my friends and I plan on driving/biking the White Rim at some point. I like offroading more than biking but it means they don't have to carry all their stuff with them and have a support vehicle.
