Shafer Canyon Road Complete Drive up the Switchbacks 4K | Canyonlands National Park | Moab Off Road

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.

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!

[@ottergirl1913]

Totally agree. Love your Rocky Mountain videos as well.

[@AdventureEveryDay]

We love being able to share the beauty of these places with so many great people! Thanks for watching!

We've got a bunch of Colorado Rocky Mountain videos from a trip last month in the works coming soon!

[@christophertran8896]

Thank you for the high end video of this amazing scenery. I like to thank you for the other videos too. Could you reveal a bit what camera and lenses you used? And also if you used any professional exterior suctioning multipeds mounting for your camera? Much appreciated!!!

[@etienneprinsloo6799]

I love this trail. Utah is blessed with many jewels and this is one of them. I think travelling with a good ground clearance four wheel drive vehicle is a wise choice. Take extra water and make sure you have a sound spare tyre as recoveries can be quite pricey. Should you ever get the opportunity to travel this road, don’t hesitate, it’s worth it one hundred thousand times over.

[@AdventureEveryDay]

Couldn't agree more!

[@steveludwig4200]

Easier to drive it UP or DOWN in stock Wrangler Sahara Unlimited? Thx!

[@etienneprinsloo6799]

@@steveludwig4200 I have done it in both directions. Personally I found going down more scenic. Your vehicle is more than adequate. Safe travels!

[@BOF7431]

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 !

[@AdventureEveryDay]

Shafer Canyon is gorgeous in both directions! Thanks for watching, hope you and your loved ones survived the hurricane intact!

[@BOF7431]

@@AdventureEveryDay Just high winds but I have seen more rain in previous hurricanes. Thanks for your concern and best wishes in your future endeavors, I'll be waiting and watching !

[@arunphillips6977]

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!

[@AdventureEveryDay]

Agreed! Utah just has such a diverse and dynamic landscape, desert and mountains, salt flats and red rock. It just might be our favorite for natural beauty!

[@tomthatcher7757]

I have been to Canyonlands but only saw it from the top. Thanks to you I have now gone down and now back up on Shafer Canyon Road. Thank you so much 💓 An awesome experience and oh the views! BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME 👌

[@SalsaShakers]

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. Love from SCOTLAND

[@AdventureEveryDay]

That wouldn’t be fun to say the least. Thankfully there’s a ton of solid rock making the road pretty safe. Thanks for watching!

[@cierakitty]

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.

[@AdventureEveryDay]

[@disneymama78]

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! 😂🤪

[@AdventureEveryDay]

If you're afraid of heights then this road may not be for you unfortunately. Island in the Sky Road through Canyonlands is a great road though.

[@GreatAussieDrives]

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

If you're afraid of heights then the cliff edges will be scary for sure (but beautiful too)! Thanks for watching!

[@AdventureEveryDay]

The ride down the switchbacks into the canyon will be easier on your engine since the opposite way is basically uphill the entire way.

[@mtalha909]

Since you cut that portion of the video, how did this work out @12:58 ? I am planning on doing the same trail and I am curious about how does it work when there is two way traffic. There didn't seem to be much of a space to pull over, but I might be wrong

[@AdventureEveryDay]

Sometimes the road is narrow when another vehicle is approaching and one person or the other has to back up to a spot where the road is wider to allow the other vehicle to pass. Most of the time two vehicles can pass each other without much difficulty.

[@cackm]

Could I make this drive with a regular sedan?

[@AdventureEveryDay]

I’d check with the park ranger at the park entrance station and get their recommendation. If your car isn’t very low like a sports car then you may be okay. We’ve seen minivans on this road.

[@mechcavandy986]

You could speed it up a bit, especially at the beginning.
