Grand Junction to Page, AZ




Sometime I'll figure out how to put the pictures where I want them.































Good day today. We had an early start from Grand junction and headed to Moab Utah by a road I saw on google earth. Utah State Road 128 from I70 to Moab along the Colorado River. I would recommend taking this road to anyone. It's around 45 miles of curving roads at the bottom of high cliffs that will strain your neck looking up at them. We saw lots of nice campgrounds along the river and looked like any of them would be great spending some time there. Could be good fishing there too as we saw some fishermen on the banks.






Moab sure has changed from the little Podunk town I first saw in the 80's into the adventure tourist mecca full of gift shops, tour outfits and fast food places it is today.






A few miles south of there we stopped at this little hole on the wall. It's a 5000 sq foot home hand chiseled into the sandstone cliff by a guy back in the 40's. Nice place but at 5 bucks a head,, a little spendy.












The weather was great today, mid 90's, sunny-dry heat. On the bike it's good but just sitting in it or working in it might be a different story.





Here are a few pics from today.
