College Graduation road trip

Well, the title says it all. I graduate from UNCC with a BA in Health Communications and minoring in Gerontology (anyone with possible job connections let me know; looking for marketing health equipment/technlology or something of the sorts).

Anyway, my buddy and I are leaving on Tuesday, the 13th and going from Charlotte to New Orleans. Staing in New Orleans for a few nights, picking our dads up in Dallas, headed to Carlsbad Caverns, then north to Arizona - specifically the painted desert and petrified forest. Again we will go north to Moab, where we will do some off roading. This is a big reason why I am posting this. I NEED SOME SUGGESTIONS OF TRAILS IN MOAB!

I have been off roading since I was 16 and am fairly confident off the road. However, I am running a basically stock height FJ with MTR's, sliders, ARB, winch, locker and Atrac. I really am not trying to break anything or suffer from any body damage. Anybody have any good suggestions. Also I would like to do some passes in Colorado, specifically Imogene pass and maybe a few others close by.

I am going to be spending most of the summer in Aspen at a friend's condo, but my parents are flying into Salt Lake where I will pick them up to do Yellowstone the same weekend of the Summit - I'm bummed.

Thanks for the help and I appreciate any and all suggestions. I can't do it all, but I surely will try!

Cheers and thanks for the help!
