The views from the point (and the areas around it) are awesome.

Also, the views from the road you see down on the canyon floor (Rte 142/Shafer Basin Rd/Potash Rd) are also pretty incredible.

One of my favorite areas of the US.

I had to look up the Potash road after seeing a vehicle waaaaaay the heck down there and wanting to go on it. I added it to my list of trails to go on when I’m in Moab again.

Oh man, it is so awesome.

I started in Canyonlands NP(Island in the Sky portion), and went down the Shafer trail and then onto Shafer rd and took it all the way back into Moab.

I was one of the best drives of my life. Though, I definitely recommend something with 4WD and good ground clearance.

✅ 4x4 ✅ High ground clearance

Edit: How long did it take to complete that drive?

I'd have to go back and check my notes. I also stopped a lot for pictures and to let other vehicles pass on narrow portions.

My recollection is somewhere around 3 hours. Though again, that is not reflective of the actual drive time.

3hr with pauses to take photos and let cars pass isn’t bad at all. My kids will survive that drive
