(There was a vacation trail topic in the old forum discussion.)
Here's my recommendation for one that is beautiful
and dramatic but technically very easy: The Shafer Trail
in Canyonlands National Park near Moab Utah!
It's an easy trail but has nice switchbacks
on a steep grade. When you first come up the
canyon, it looks like a dead end, but the Shafer Trail
cuts into the hillside. Reached from the Potash Road
up the Colorado River a bit from Moab. Sorry about
misspelling Shafer in the title -- I don't know how to change
the title.
