There is no doubt that the scenery of this region is astounding. But if folks are going to write reviews of roads like Shafer Trail, White Rim Road, La Sal Mountain Loop, etc., then PLEASE TELL THE TRUTH.

The next 15 miles through the rock strewn valley is filled with bumps and decisions on which path to take through a road bed of rocks and sand. The beauty of this place while barren is overwhelming. The last 5 miles are... more
