The Shafer Trail Road - Canyonlands: Island in the Sky

We drove down the Shafer Trail Road to the White Rim Road which I had been wanting to do for years, but weather or something or other always stopped me.
If you are intending to take the White Rim Road, you must get a free permit at the visitor's center and they will ask if you have a high clearance 4wd. If you are going to take the Potash Road to Moab the permit is not required and I don't think the high clearance 4wd is either.

Thank you, Robert.

Nice shots, curiosity, what is considered high clearance?

I did the White Rim Road (I think they called it Trail back then) years ago. Parts of the surface were rougher than they appear in you photos, at least as I recall. Thanks for posting these photos, they sure brought back nice memories.

I believe that the National Park Service thinks that something more than a Subaru Outback such as most Jeeps, 4wd pickups, and 4wd SUVs. I drive a Z71 Tahoe. When I was at Guadaloupe National Park the ranger actually came out to see what I was driving.

I've done the white rim trail twice on mountain bike, with friends and a support vehicle. Four day trips both times.
Great experience, but that was many years ago.

Thank you, Wanderer2. I only drove the White Rim Road to Musselman Bridge. I could have driven the whole bit that I drove with a car.
