This is the last installment of our Eastern Utah trip (spring 2022). Make sure to check out the other episodes, linked below. On this adventure, we make our way to Moab's premier beginner trail, otherwise known as the Shafer Trail. This elevated shelf road begins at 5900 feet and descends all the way down to 3950 over a span of 19 miles. It's epic and it's easy!
