The Klondike Bluffs Trail represents a solid ride. We stuffed up by starting at the highway car park as the Falcon guide indicated it started there and we got a bit lost also but we finally located the trail head at the big car park and we started climbing. I'd start at the main trailhead rather than the highway as it's just a gravel road up to the trailhead.
The route follows a 4WD trail across the slickrock which is imprinted with fossilized dinosaur tracks.
