Autumn on the Colorado River Road


On the Road Again Day 4 | Autumn on the Colorado

After the long drive across Utah yesterday, we found a room and dinner in Moab last night, and had breakfast at the Jailhouse Cafe this morning. When we used to come down here for mountain biking, we always wanted to try this place, but it was always too crowded. Glad we finally got a table; the food was great.

Today we're driving one of our favorite sports car roads: from Moab along the Colorado River to I-70, where we turn east for Colorado. Twisty with plenty of roller coaster sections, the road travels the east side of Arches National Park, with the river sandwiched in between.

The fall colors in the canyon don't have the showy display of the high-country aspens and cottonwoods, but their subtle beauty is just as impressive. You just have to look more closely.
