A network of dirt roads run throughout the Swell. A few of the more popular scenic drives are described below.

Dinosaur Quarry/Cedar Overlook	80 mile roundtrip	4 hours

Huntington Canyon Scenic Byway (U-31)	48 miles (77 km)	1 hour

Moore Cutoff Road

	This scenic and varied road is well maintained. There are some very fine petroglyphs and a set of dinosaur tracks along this road.

Temple Mountain/Goblin Valley Road		45 mile loop	1 1/2 hours

	Temple Mountain / Goblin Valley Road runs through and adjacent to the San Rafael Reef with good views of Temple Mountain, the highpoint of the reef. Goblin Valley State Park features a small valley of interesting curving, "goblin-like" rock formations..

	Wedge Overlook / Buckhorn Draw Road is the most dramatic route through the Swell. At the Wedge Overlook are wonderful views of the impressive canyons of the "Little Grand Canyon" carved by the San Rafael River. There are numerous viewpoints along the rim.
