Shafer Trail
Shafer Trail Review
This road was probably first established by ancient American Indians, but in the early 1900s ranchers used it to drive cattle into the canyon. Originally narrow and rugged, it was upgraded during the uranium boom, when miners hauled ore by truck from the canyon floor. You can see the road's winding route down canyon walls from Shafer Canyon Overlook. Today, Shafer Trail is used by daring four-wheelers and energetic mountain bikers. It descends 1,400 feet to the White Rim.
