Starts at the pavement on Utah 279 from Moab, goes through the Potash Mine buildings and works its way to Shafer Canyon Road and White Rim Road. Some gravel at the start, but mostly hard packed dirt with some water crossing. Good for MTB, large adventure motorcycles and SUVs. 2WD cars will have trouble.

This distance is off -- it's only 13 miles, as though this is showing double. The profile looks correct.
This road is pretty rough. I rode it on my gravel bike with 42's and it beat me up. Downhills in particular - had to ride the brakes the whole time to keep from bouncing my brain out of my skull. The views are worth it. I rode from 279 and then west on White Rim Trail to the top of the big climb then back -- total 32 miles.
