Shoot Clay, I wish I could be there to help, but me and my son will be flying out to bee-u-tiful Tulsa, OK for the ABA BMX Grand Nationals on the 22nd. Packing and loading bikes before that.

Have fun though. I an give you some trail suggestions. Are you going with just one rig?

you traveling by yourself?
how is your truck setup?
you bringing family?
does you family like long trails or prefer pretty trails?
do you mind off camber trails?
would you like to hike mid-trail?
do you want to see arches, waterfolds, or other geologic formations?
do you have a winch? if so can you self recover?

TOP OF THE WORLD trail is a great scenic and fairly easy trail.
for more of a challenge tie into the ROSE GARDEN HILL/ ONION CREEK TRAIL
(the easier line on Rosegarden Hill is on the south side) onion creek is easy but pretty
take the short hike to the Titan, very cool little trail.
FINS AND THINGS is fun for the first time slockrocker. but route finding can be confusing down by the radio towers. just pay attention to your gsp cords, they help a bunch.
LONG TRAIL is an easy pleasant trail, not difficult but pretty, leads to dead horse point (very cool).
can give more suggestions, once we have more info on how your set up or going solo.

Looking for a tech. trail but i will be by myself and
thats not the smart thing to do.

Clay,
thom actually offers some good advice.
i wouldn't do Pritchett unless you are going w/ someone who has done the trail before
and are locked up front and rear (or at the least in the rear).
Behind the Rocks is a great trail, but any more Pritchett is WAYYYYY harder and more demanding.
plan to use your winch a bunch...and good luck.
