While you can travel this route either way, going from south to north puts you adjacent to all the pulloffs.
If you have time you can take some of the hikes off some of the parking areas. There is a visitor center and campground near the northern end of this upper mesa.
A side trip I like is to take the road to Glade Park (the first south headed road if you are traveling from the south entrance). This road will end up along a high mesa a few miles from the Utah border where you will turn around and come back. There are several arches along this road.
