A very scenic road to motorcycle along. The dmoring ride, just after sunrise, makes for great viewing, and the cool among the rocks make it very enjoyable. If you bicycle, there are paths just for you, too.
I first went on this road to go for a horseback ride at mile marker 21 but had to go back the next day when I didn't have a time restraint just to take photographs. Spectacular and worth visiting.
This is my favorite drive in the world so far. It's humbling as you realize are small humans are and how awesome nature is. GO!
We travelled Route128 from I-70 into Moab versus the faster Route 191. Route 128 is the scenic route and goes by the Colorado Riverway Rec area. As is was November and a bit chilly, we did not go in the river! I recommend this route if you have a few extra minutes.
We rode this road on our motorcycle and it was beautiful. Red cliffs on both sides to enjoy while motoring along. We then turned around and rode it coming back into Moab just as beautiful. It was not a long ride but well worth the time.
We stayed off of this road so went back and forth on it several times a day. Never got tired of the view - which changes completely over the course of the road. From western prairie to towering buttes it is amazing. Negro Bill Canyon is also on the road, along with many other trails. A must visit.
Had a great boat ride (scenic) as opposed to adventuresome where the driver does 360 degree turns! Beautiful trip on the Colorado River.
Quiet place, with a fantastic view at few meters from Colorado river, with all amenities needed to make a great picnic, but the food must be bring from home.
Decided to take the more scenic route on the way out of Moab and was glad we did. I should have known to expect great views, but I didn't do my homework and this caught me off guard in a very pleasant way. We didn't make very good time since I was constantly enjoying the view, pulling over for "normal" drivers and stopping to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. Enjoyed the transition from steep canyon walls to more sedate prairie surroundings. I'm not sure of the added time to our trip, but this would have been worth it as a side trip and not only as an alternative route.
The views are really great. The road is easy and be sure to stop at the winery for a "small" tasting.
