The trail goes near an unexpected and beautiful pour-off of lower Sevenmile Canyon.
Early on, there is a dugway called Pipeline Hill that drops abruptly toward Courthouse Wash and makes the driver wish he-sh (meaning “he or she”, of course) had glass hood so he-sh could place his’r (our shorthand for “his or her”) wheels just right. In case it is completely dry, most of the trail could have a lower rating, but there are eroded trail portions that can challenge stock vehicles.
Some of the roads are on the softer Morrison Formation, which can be impassably slippery when wet. Prominent scenic exposures are in an area called Klondike Bluffs, some of which may be glimpsed to the east from Highway 191. Its slickrock is the top of the Entrada Formation, and its views are often of erosions into that formation. It lies east of the Moab Fault, so is in younger rock formations than many of our trails. This trail is a combination of several roads north of Moab and near the western boundary of Arches National Park.
