Crossing Atkinson Mesa and the heart of the Department of Energy Uranium Reserve land, T17 is an easy crossover gravel and dirt road with a historical past. Out in the middle of the flat top mesa is a relic from the area's uranium mining days beginning in the 1920's and ending in the 1980's. The road can be completed in 2WD in dry conditions with durable tires and good ground clearance. The road has sweeping panoramic views of the Manti-La Sal mountains far off to the west and the Divide Range to the north. The road does not have any designated or primitive campsites. However, camping can be found along the nearby P12 or along Atkinson Creek roads.
