Utah State Highway 128

Location

Utah State Highway 128 runs roughly northeast from US191 just north of Moab to join I-70 at Cisco.

Description

For most of its distance, this road runs close to the Colorado River. There are frequent highly scenic views of the river and its canyon. Photograph (51KB).

A side road diverts from this road to scenic Castle Valley. Beyond there the map shows a road looping back to Moab via the La Sal Mountains and a section of the Manti - La Sal National Forest east of Moab, but we found the signposting here very vague and seeming to indicate that the road was unpaved. With a severe rainstorm imminent we retreated back to Moab via Utah 128.

The Fisher Towers rock formations can be seen from further along Utah 128, northeast of the Castle Valley turnoff. Sadly we didn't have time to go that far.
