You will never look back!
This is the Shafer Trail in the Canyonlands National Park, Moab, UT. La Sal Mountains in the background with icecaps! They are omnipresent in all the vistas around Moab.
It is a 18.2 mile point-to-point trail and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for off road driving and is accessible year-round. As windy as it looks but not difficult even for newbie drivers.
I was surprised to see not many people even know about this National Park let alone the epic vista of the Shafer Trail. Mostly, the Park is know for the Mesa Arch but is mostly overshadowed by the Arches National Park just 40min apart.
Nonetheless, the Shafer Trail joins the White Rim road and also has an outlet to Potash Road that joins Moab. At places a 4X4 seem like a good idea but you will see regular sedans cruising along too. Also the trail takes you to other side of the Horseshoe point and give a closer look to the green river overlook. Not to mention you will also get to see the Muscle Man arch on the trail as well.
This is a single shot but will post more panorama once I stitch them! The new Lightroom 6 is going to be a big help saving a lot of back and forth trips of photoshop!
I was very happy that I visited the Canyonlands and will recommend it equally if not more than the Arches.
Thank you for favorites and comments, I highly appreciate it.
