Описание: Mineral bottom Canyon Rd Switchbacks to the green river also the start of the White Rim RD 4WD Trail.

Mineral Bottom is a 16 miles trail, located in Grand County, Utah (USA), driveable all year round. On August 19th, 2010, severe storms caused flash flooding and rockfalls that blocked or washed away roads throughout the Canyonlands area. There is little room for error on this road. It's normal for your palms to sweat looking at those photos.

Suitable for high-clearance two-wheel-drive vehicles when dry, the unpaved sections of the road can be impassable when wet. In any case, driving 4WD is recommended due to uneven surface. When is wet, the road can be impassable, especially on the switchbacks that descend into the river valley. Avoid this road if it's wet. If it rains while you’re at the bottom, wait an hour or two until the road dries. Route-finding is extremely easy.
The road is in dreadful condition and requires strong nerves to negotiate it. It's a wide county road that drops rapidly to the Green River on spectacular switchbacks to a pleasant drive along the river’s edge. Mineral Bottom road provides access to the western half of the White Rim Trail inside Canyonlands National Park.
