Scenery: The colorful Entrada Sandstone of Big Mesa, atop the white Navajo Sandstone layer provides the initial scenery. Once Wipe-Out Hill is ascended, the Merrimac Butte, and then the Monitor Butte, are each visited. A short sandy section precedes the ascent of Sevenmile Rim. Once up on the rim views down into Sevenmile Canyon, and then views east toward Arches National Park provide the remaining scenery.

Road Surface: The majority of this trail alternates between slickrock surfaces and sandy surfaces. Highlights: The descent of Rattlesnake Hill and the ascent of WipeOut Hill, as well as a sidehill section along Merrimac Butte provide the majority of the four wheeling excitement. Uranium Arch is interesting to visit and the bumpy descent from Sevenmile Rim will keep drivers awake at the end of the trail.
