Schaefer Switchbacks, Potash Road - Canyonlands National Park - Moab - Oct. 3, 2015

Trail name:  Shafer Switchbacks, Potash Road

Thelma & Louise Point

Starting point:  Canyonlands Natonal Park
Finishing point:  Moab
Difficulty:  Easy - but with narrow steep switchbacks
Distance:  18.5 miles
Time:  3 hours

The most challenging and exciting part of this trip were the Shafer Switchbacks.  This steep, narrow ledge road demanded Charlie's undivided attention, but provided me with amazing views of the Canyon & the La Sal Mountains beyond.
Within walking distance of the Potash Road is Thelma and Louise Point.  *The surprise ending to this movie when Thelma & Louise  decide to 'end it all' & drive their car off this cliff.   It is a memorable moment in the movie & even more dramatic to see the real thing.
