Not to be confused with the Behind The Rocks Trail, Behind The Rocks Road is a rough and rocky 9-mile-long connector road between Picture Frame Arch and Pritchett Canyon. It connects a spiderweb network of trails and is the main exit from the popular hardcore trails Pritchett Canyon and Behind The Rocks Trail, connecting those folks back to Highway 191. This road has both fast and slow crawling sections and is traveled by users in both directions. The road becomes more challenging the farther north you travel. The southernmost 3 miles is the easiest, with a mix of hard-packed dirt, sand, and slickrock slabs. The middle 3 miles traverse several ledges and a short section of rutty shelf road. The northernmost 3 miles, just past the Kane Creek Canyon Overlook, are the most difficult, with a continuous onslaught of rough-cut slickrock ledges, many of which are 18-32 inches tall. This road is best suited for modified vehicles with larger tires, small lifts, and skid plate protection.
There is no suitable camping along this stretch of Behind the Rock Road.
