Canyonlands Inn Highlights: The trail goes near colorful hills that have yielded dinosaur bones. Following the main section of slickrock are two steep climbs on eroded dirt and rock. Depending upon the time, toward the end of the trip some nicely exposed dinosaur tracks may be visited on foot.

This trail is a combination of several roads north of Moab and near the western boundary of Arches National Park. It lies east of the Moab Fault, so it is in younger rock formations than many of our trails. Its slickrock is the top of the Entrada Formation, and its views are often of erosions into that formation. Prominent scenic exposures are in an area called Klondike Bluffs. Some of the roads are on the softer Morrison Formation, which can become impassibly slippery when wet. There are eroded portions that can challenge some nearly stock vehicles. Approximate mileages: 64 total, 35 off highway. Scenery: The trail visits an unexpected and beautiful pour off into lower Sevenmile Canyon. The Klondike Bluffs exposure of white capped red rock towers and canyon walls are at a moderate distance. There is a good view of Tower Arch, and some other arches are visible in the distance from various sections of the trail.
