On the edge . . .
A panoramic image of Shafer Canyon in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. The lack of foreground interest in this image is due to the fact that I am standing on the canyon rim looking down to the Shafer Trail Canyon Road. Shafer Trail Canyon Road (Highway 142) is a steep narrow gravel road that winds its way from the rim to the canyon floor. The road reaches a point where it splits and the road to the right becomes the White Rim Trail, while the road to the left is Shafer Canyon Road/Potash Road (Highway 142) goes in the direction of Dead Horse Point State Park and beyond to eventually connect with Highway 279 and back to Moab. (A special thanks to - AdelheidS Photography - for correcting my earlier mislabeled road naming.)
Where the road splits is a white van for a sense of scale . . . unfortunately it is hard to distinguish in this lower resolution image.
