Overview

When you're looking for an overland adventure, it usually has to meet a couple of requirements. The first, it must be off-road, and as a close second as number two, it must hold incredible scenery. Woodenshoe Road in southeast Utah is all of that, and more. It is a gateway to an overland adventure of a lifetime. With the red colored cliffs lining the Colorado River, it starts near the remote Hite Outpost. From Hite, you can connect to trails in the lower desert for a single day trip, or for a true overland experience, connect to the high pines in the Manti-La Sal National Forest over to the Canyonlands Needles District. It is remote, so expect great camping with dark skies at night for memorable stargazing, go prepared, and be ready for adventure.
