[Hide Comment] At the moment due to all the storms the entrance to the slabs from I.70 is not in good condition . Best to enter via the Hanksville road Rt 24. From the exit from I.70 go 7 miles just past mile marker 153 to dirt road on right. Follow this for about 4 miles to the Three Finger turn off on the left. Sep 2, 2010
