Day 15: 1 June We bid farewell to Flaming Gorge and The Red Canyon Lodge:
Our next destination was Moab, UT. The easiest route is south to Vernal, UT, then into western Colorado, to I-70, then west, then south to Moab. I decided to modify the route by getting off of I-70 at the exit to UT-128 to follow the Colorado River to Moab.
Our first view of the Colorado River:
The Colorado begins in the Rocky Mountains and goes west across Colorado and into Utah. As the river runs southwest, it begins carving the landscape, creating canyons and buttes that rival the Grand Canyon.
