Traversing the Markagunt Plateau, the route travels through the Sevier River valley and descends the Grand Staircase with it cliffs of colorful pink, gray, white, and vermillion sedimentary rock layers. Side trips may include Cedar Breaks National Monument, Dixie National Forest, and Zion National Park.
