点评:My wife and I drove down the Shafer Trail on a sunny, pleasant day in April, 2026, in our Jeep Wrangler Rubicon in two-wheel drive. I did not engage the part-time, Rock-Trac 4WD. A high clearance vehicle is recommended and full-time, AWD might provide additional safety. Traffic was minimal. The posted speed limit is 15MPH but we never exceeded half the limit. Do not attempt this decent or ascent during inclement weather. The drive is challenging and not for the faint of heart. The road is very narrow in some sections and precipitously close to the cliff edge. There are no guardrails. Passing other vehicles is frightening. If you drive off the edge then you will die and join Thelma and Louise in the happy hunting grounds. I suggest preparing your Last Will and Testament before you attempt this route. If you survive the five miles of death-defying switchbacks then you will need to drive an additional thirty-two miles on Potash Road to Moab. Potash Road from the White Rim Road junction to the Potash Evaporation Ponds, a distance of about twenty miles, is a punishing, uneven rocky road and a jarring experience. Bring a cervical collar. First time, last time. Good luck and farewell!
翻译:2026年4月一个阳光明媚的日子,我和妻子驾驶着我们的吉普牧马人Rubicon,以两驱模式沿着沙弗小径(Shafer Trail)行驶。我没有启用分时四驱系统(Rock-Trac)。建议使用底盘较高的车辆,全时四驱系统(AWD)可能更安全。路上车辆很少。限速15英里/小时,但我们从未超过限速的一半。切勿在恶劣天气下尝试这条路线。这段路程充满挑战,不适合胆小者。部分路段非常狭窄,而且紧邻悬崖边缘。没有护栏。超车时令人胆战心惊。如果车辆坠入悬崖,您将会丧命,与塞尔玛和路易丝一起进入天堂。我建议您在尝试这条路线之前立好遗嘱。如果您侥幸通过了这五英里惊险刺激的之字形弯道,您还需要沿着钾肥路(Potash Road)再行驶32英里才能到达摩押(Moab)。从白缘路路口到钾肥蒸发池的钾肥路,全程约20英里,路况崎岖不平,布满碎石,颠簸难耐。建议带上颈托。第一次也是最后一次。祝你好运,再见!
