Scenic route 128 along the Colorado River

All of the following pictures were taken along route 128 starting just at the edge of Moab. It goes for about 45 miles to interstate route 70. The last 15 miles are not as spectacular as the first 30 because you are out of the canyon and on a Mesa all though the view of the La Sal mountains is nice. Remember the camera can not do justice to the scenery it is so much more impressive in person. Please click on the pictures to enlarge them to full screen. At least that way you can get a more detailed view of this beautiful scenery. There are many BLM camp sites along the river in the canyon. Naturally none of them have hookups but what wonderful sites they are, right along the river with wonderful views. With our Golden Eagle Pass they would only be $5.00 a night. Unfortunately most of the sites are only tent sites. We drove all the way to Interstate 70, took it to the route 191 exit and back home to the campground. What a great drive. I am still amazed at the great beauty of just rocks.

This one above I will caption. This is a view up Negro Bill Canyon. That's what the sign called it.

The river you can see is of course the Colorado.

This is just one of the pull off and thank goodness all along the way they have pit toilets for us old folk. :-)

It seems like every where you look there are places that look like arches are starting.
