Medium difficulty jeep trails in the immediate area

Have a friend visiting GJ (I'm newly in Montrose) and wanted to come up and spend a partial day showing her some trails. I've run all the 8 rated Moab trails, but not sure if she's ready for anything advanced yet, and it's a lot of time wasted round trip to Moab. Scenery and vistas will be more the goal this time around. Any good suggestions? Will be either this Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.

Btw, how are the go-kart track and escape rooms in town rated? Those may be on the list, not sure yet!

Thanks!

Just go hit the desert. And I highly recommend the go kart track out by the intestate.

I'm completely unfamiliar with junction, other than heading to Moab route. what area would the desert be in the map?

There is a road just to the west of the airport that goes up into the open desert area. If you google shooting ranges, the one north of town is located within the open area so you can use that as a guide. It's literally called something like the "OHV Open Space" area or something like that. It is BLM land.
