The spur extends 2.5 mi (4 km) southwest into the Great Salt Lake Desert.

The spur, Dugway Ridge, is about 5 mi (8 km) long, south-southwest trending mostly, and ends at Pyramid Peak, 6,120 feet (1,865 m).

Northeast of the Dugway Range, and east of Granite Mountain are the GSLD salt flats.

By way of unimproved roads, the Dugway Range can be accessed from the west, the region of the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge at the north of the Fish Springs Range; the routes are accessed from Callao, 17 mi (27 km) west, and about 12 mi (19 km) from the Dugways.

The route from Fish Springs is called Pony Express Road, and transits around the southern range terminus and the Pyramid Peak spur.
