When I was there recently, I drove Shafer and Long Canyon Trails. This starts just north of Moab, heads west along the Colorado, up into Canyonlands then over to Dead Horse Point State park and back down into Canyonlands. Basically a dirt road, but the scenery is not to be missed. Take lunch and plenty of water.

Make sure you get a map. These trails are on it.
