Colorado River Scenic Byway—Route 128

Colorado River Scenic Byway—Route 128 Review

One of the most scenic drives in the country is Route 128, which intersects U.S. 191 3 mi south of Arches. The 44-mi highway runs along the Colorado River with 2,000-foot cliffs rising on both sides. The gorgeous Castle Valley is home to a winery, orchards, and a couple of lodging options. It also passes through the world-class climbing destination, Fisher Towers, before winding north to Interstate 70. The drive from Moab to I-70 takes at least an hour.
