This 10 mile long trail is part of the Sand Flats Recreation Area (http://www.discovermoab.com/sandflats.htm) on the outskirts of Moab.
The BLM has a good page about the trail here. (http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/recreation/motorized_routes/fins_and_things.html) There is a $5 fee to access this trail, the pass is good for 3 days. You can camp there too for an additional five bucks. Here's a map:

Note that some parts of the trail are now closed. Those locations are fenced and marked.
