Default Recommended Trails in southern Utah?

Planning on spending 4 weeks in Idaho & Utah and looking for trail recommendations while I'm there. I've a 110/P400 with 18" wheels with 33" tires and rock sliders, but no winch so a bit more capable than stock. I'm not afraid of tackling rocky stuff but will be solo so I'd like to avoid having to call for help. Any recommendations?

Here is a quick list I gathered before my last trip to Utah.

1 - Shafer Trail;
2 - Wild Horse Rd;
3 - White rim - partial or full if camping;
4 - Onion Creek;
5 - Fins and Things plus the usual suspects nearby Moab.

I would recommend downloading the onX Offroad app and paying a year subs. Lots of helpful info there and ability to download offline maps too. I used Gaia in the past, but found the OnX app more user friendly and with more info on the trails. But if you already have Gaia I am sure these trails will pop up there too.

Good luck!

Thanks. I've a few of the items above on my list, but several are new to me. And I agree, Gaia has really great maps, but I find OnX much better at identifying and providing useful trail info.
