A seldom traveled trail with outstanding scenery starting up Highway 128 near the ruins of the Dewey Bridge.

The .gpx file has a track and the waypoints from Charles Wells' Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails, Second Edition (http://www.funtreks.com/index.php?page=book_3).

Various other points of interest in the book

The big "s" loop between waypoints Dome 04 and Dome 10 is part of what Wells describes as "confusing network of difficult roads" but is shown on the National Geographic Moab North map as part of Dome Plateau trail. Pay close attention for the faint turnoff at at waypoint "leave road".

Here's a map showing the trail in blue and some waypoints:
