"THE ROAD TO MOAB." Utah Travelogue by dutch_anna

Utah Travel Guide: 6,305 reviews and 13,296 photos

When you enter Utah, coming from Colorado and especially when you are on Rte 191 between Monticello and Moab, it is like arriving on an other planet. Never before I had seen such a change in a landscape. Along the road stand, first a few, later more, very strange rocks. Red and yellow sandstone with all kind of forms.

Moab.

Moab campground, office.

Of course Moab is a town for tourists, but did you expect it was not, with the National Parks Arches and Canyonlands so nearby? We camped on a very nice campground, just outside the town. Red rocks and below, the Colorado river.

I agree...with AMTRAK trains expensive, limited and always late, I believe a motorhome is the absolute BEST way to see USA. Good choice!
