That is "Shafer Trail Road" as the sign at the top says. It's wide enough for two vehicles to pass--here and there, but mostly somewhere else than where you run into oncoming "traffic." LOL. It's also very popular with bicyclists. At the bottom of the canyon, after a series of sharp, narrow switchbacks along that same cliff face in the picture, you'll meet up with the "White Rim Trail Road." White Rim Trail runs about 90 miles around the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, then comes up on the west side (the photo was shot on the east side, just below the Island in the Sky visitor center). At the bottom there is also a turn-off for Moab, though I've never taken that particular trail.
The really cool thing is to look up at the viewpoint where I shot that picture as you descend, knowing that everyone you see up there is wishing they were riding with you into the depths of this fantastic place.

Mark, Thank you for sharing the pictures. I for one appreciate the shots and obviously some great shots as they generated questions in my head about the trails, like the road half way up the cliff and what it was like driving on it knowing that if a tire blew out an you hit the wall you could go over.
Totally awesome, The Creator surely did a number there.
