Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Complete scenic off-road drive on Shafer Canyon Road in Canyonlands National Park up the switchbacks to Island in the Sky. We begin down in the canyon where Shafer Canyon Road starts at Potash Road and ride on the edge of the twisting and turning road up out of the canyon. Video playback speed can be set to play faster or slower in the video settings on most devices. Audio on this drive is set for more of an inside the car sound instead of outside sounds due to the super windy day. We did this trail no problem in a stock SUV and have seen minivans and even front wheel drive sedans along the way, but we would recommend full/all wheel drive, and a little bit of ground clearance is a good thing to have as well

Interesting drive. but a few places on that road looked a bit "iffy" ( If this continues to hold, if I don't meet another car, and if a big boulder isn't in the road up ahead ) 16: 05. a rail might have been nice right there. Pull over on one of the "over hangs" at the edge. no thanks, I"ll just keep going. ( some didn't look like much ground support there. Nice drive however. and time for a good stiff drink afterward.

I think it has to be said that Utah is very likely the most stunning state of all 50, the Canyon Lands Areas, The Vast White Salt Flats, The Stunning National Parks, The Mountains, The Beautiful Green Forests, Monument Valley (the UT Section, Valley Of The Gods and on and on and on - there really is no state to match it, maybe CA, just maybe!

You out did yourself again, memories and colors beyond belief! Whenever I do get back out that way, I may have to drive up this Trail as in 2018, I drove down it. I will have to use these vid's as a temporary break from the outside winds of Ian blowing thru here at my site in NC. At the least, I can enjoy the blue skies and the red colors!

As BOF 7431 said you outdid yourself again. Killer camera equipment filmed in real time beautiful day what views! You are the man or woman or team whatever you can’t get any closer to being there than your videos. Thanks for investing in state of the art equipment and making the trip. Outstanding!

There's always a cost to the beautiful. If I have to sit through ads I will in order to enjoy these marvelous drives and beautiful scenery. I'll never get there in person; this is positively the next best thing. Thank you for taking us where we could never go on our own.

To think TONS of canyon rocks and boulders could land on top of you is the scariest thought I have whilst watching this video.
The vibration and motion of your car could make an 'avalanche' happen.
Please take care.

U posted 11 months ago. was the trip done in Sept Oct I'm starting to plan for similar trip fall 2024. We'll have our F150. Looks like a good time of year and the road looks good.

Oh man. I thought driving through the Grand Tetons at night was scary but that takes the cake. I will be at Canyonlands in June but I don't know if I want to try that one!

Fabulous! I never knew Canyonlands looked anything like that, not from the standard views I'm used to seeing. Thanks very much,

Stunningly beautiful! What an utterly breathtaking road. Were the cliff edges a bit scary to drive on in person

I am always curious to see how this road looks like. Thank you for taking us along with you. Wonderful video

So stunning, red rock country in UT, AZ really is the best place (for me anyway) in the world. love it!

A not for the faint of heart road but up close in in your face rock encounters of the third kind.

Did you see the fossils on the sandstone wall half way down, and did you see mussel man arch.

Beautiful scenery, great picture quality. You must have a great camera and technique.

Have you tried the road trip from Moab to The top of the world via UT-128 scenic way
