Just like the comments I left for your Canyonlands NP vid a couple of weeks ago, once again I was in awe at the rock color and I am eagerly awaiting the day I can get back out there because I want to do the White Rim Trail as well as go thru Pucker Pass. In your opening seconds (and repeated again at the 2: 25 mark, it took me about three seconds to remember that site.
Too many positives about that experience to mention here but one if not probably the only negative I recall was the condition of the road, with that underlying road I had to slow down to 5 MPH or so unless I liked banging my head into the door jam. There were several locations like this once getting past the switchbacks coming down but the worse one I recall started at the 11: 25 mark for several minutes. Should I drive this again, I believe I'll wear a bike helmet until I get to the potash ponds.
Once again, great video!

I unexpectedly drove this very road. After camping overnight in Canyonlands, on the way out of the park, the next morning, I saw Shafer Canyon Rd road and decided to drive it down into the canyon, and then I just kept going all the way to Moab. It ranks as one of my favorite times ever in a National Park. We were also in a stock SUV, and we only saw 1 or 2 other cars on the road that day.

My buddy and I arrived in Moab on day 6 of our 10 day adventure bike ride. It was late October this year a week before it turned cold. We left Arches NP and turned down Potash Rd. I thought I died and went to heaven. Unfortunately, I was out of gas down by the power plant and we never turned onto dirt. Thanks for sharing what I missed!

Wonderful 4WD drive, great landscapes on the way. Was great to see it virtually, as I won't be able to drive with an RV on such roads, during my planned roadtrip through West USA. I will be in Moab though to see Arches NP. Thanks for the video, greetings from a roadtripper from Germany!

Mountain biked this WAY back in the mid 90s. Rode along the White Rim trail, then down Shafer which is just stunning. Then left under Dead Horse Point to Potash road and up into Moab. Nearly killed me. Brutal ride, way longer than we were expecting. But absolutely beautiful.

What a dangerous street, trail, or whatever it's called. I saw two families with minors playing on the edge of the cliffs. It is a total abandonment of this route. But what beauty of stone mountains, already collapsed or about to fall.

Another spot on my to-do list. I haven't explored Eastern Utah, yet. I'm going to arrange a road trip from Michigan to Canyonland. Probably in 2024. This year I'm driving to New Mexico

Amazing views! I plan to drive on Potash with my 2023 Crosstrek in March/April this year. Looking forward to it. We were at Moab and Canyonlands a few years ago.

Headed to Moab in late December. Hopefully the weather holds out to get a few trails in.
It will be a 2000 mile journey but it’s on my bucket list.

That road is in better shape than when I drove it many moons ago. It is a great bit of adventure particularly to start at the upper end of Shafer Trail.

Just found out that the shafer trail is closed for maintenance when we are visiting, is it possible to drive the potash road part in a normal SUV
