I was looking at some slides recently of a trip I took this summer, and it reminded me of a really beautiful place that didn't have too many people. It was on state road 128, north of Moab, Utah, along the Colorado river. The place is accessible from the interstate by going thru Cisco, a modern day Indian ruin (no offense meant). The valley here has sculpted sandstone pillars, similar to Monument Valley, vast open spaces, and sweeping curves in the formation near the river. The road runs very near the river, for the most part. Although most parts of it have been paved recently, there is one thing that may make it rough for some people: a suspension (!) bridge with a weight limit of 4500 lbs, too low for many large cars. It is in stark contrast to Moab, a tourist trap where you can get on raft trip to see this valley. Stan King, aka. floyd!stan
