Default S. Utah trails

I'm trying to plan a camping/wheeling trip next weekend down in Southern Utah (Goblin Valley/ Brice / Zion -ish areas). I've got a really good book on Moab trails (Charles Wells' book) but nothing for the rest of the state, do any of you know any good books or websites that outline 4x4 trails across the state?

Thanks,
Will

Just wanted to follow this incase any of you are looking for the same thing.
I picked up "Utah Trails, south west region"
Utah Trails Southwest Region: Peter Massey Jeanne Wilson: 9781930193109: Amazon.com: Books Utah Trails Southwest Region: Peter Massey Jeanne Wilson: 9781930193109: Amazon.com: Books
It has a ton of trails in it, difficulty ratings, scenery ratings, and how remote all the trails are. Seems good, and I'm looking forward to trying it out next week.

If you're in need of good places to camp or wheel around, I know of a few.
If you're in the Zion area, head to Rockville and turn on Bridge road to go to Grafton. Follow the road around to the right and it will take you right there. You have a few options once you're there, as you can follow the road that leads you there all the way up the mesa and over to Apple Valley, which is a goldmine of trails and camping spots.

You might also head to Leeds, and go to silver reef. You can go to Oak Grove from there, which is prime camping territory.

If you're in Virgin, you can go down Sheeps Bridge Road, and that will also take you to Apple Valley. Or you could turn on Smith's Mesa road and go up to Smith's Mesa, which is loaded with camping spots.

Hope this is helpful to someone!
