I need Utah suggestions...

Some friends and I are going to Utah in mid-May for a 6 day trip on the Green River through Labyrinth Canyon.

After getting off the river, my group wants to do 4-5 days of backcountry camping and hiking. These folks aren't really backpackers but might be up for an overnight trip. Otherwise, I think they'd prefer remote car camping (we'll have a 4x4) and day hikes.

We'll be in the Moab/Green River area. Any suggestions?

Hole in the Rock road has some cool slots and you can remote car camp.

Here are some of my fave sites:

Another suggestion:

Oowah lake which is up in the Manti-La Sal mountains. I loved this place.

A must see
I have been to all most all of the parks in Utah. The must see parks are Bryce, Zion, Arches, and Canyonlands. Most have good 4x4 trails. You can drive your 4x4 to the colorado river in Canyonlands from the south end Needles i think.

If driving at night, watch out for the jack rabbits!
