Description
Jughandle Loop starts at the Jughandle Arch parking area on Hwy. 279 along the Colorado River. The route meanders into Canyonlands National Park on Potash Road and then climbs Shafer Trail 4wd Road and a terrific series of switchbacks (1,200' climb) to the park's main scenic drive (Hwy. 313). The finish is a great 4 mile long descent through Long Canyon back to Hwy. 279. The route has 9 miles of paved road and 29 miles of dirt roads.
