"MOAB CANYON is a beautiful and rugged gorge, four miles long, between towering cliffs and jagged mountain walls, gorgeously colored with orange and black, white and gray, red and purple, and numerous other tints and shades. Oliver Huntington described the canyon as "narrow, crooked and rough with rocks."

For an absolutely breathtaking ride, hop onto 128 from Moab, and follow the road as it winds through the canyon following the Colorado River. The sheer cliffs, and colorful rocks are unforgettable.
