We took this trail in May 2019. After stopping at the petroglyphs, cemetery, and Sego ghost town, we did a side trip up Thompson Canyon road. About a Mile and a half up the canyon, there are several miners shanties and a covered dome oven on the left. Cool to see the different styles of small structures. We then went out to Doug’s Point. Sad to see that the forest at BLM331 to the East side of the road to Doug’s Point has been completely clear cut, which made discerning the trail difficult in a few points. Other than that, this is a great trail, with everything ranging from forest trails to cliff views, to moonscapes. 👍

I drive this trail during late fall and winter, because of the cooler temperatures, and the lack of tourists in the Moab area, and I think it's one of the best, most relaxing, easy, trails in the entire Moab region. I'm retired; so I drive it during week days, and I've never seen any other vehicles on this trail. The only vehicles which might experience some minor 'chassis scraping' in a very few areas, would be long wheelbase rigs. I've never even put my Jeep in four wheel drive on this trail: that's how easy it is. Great trail, on a very well maintained dirt road, with beautiful scenery.
