Hwy 128 Colorado River Scenic Byway, UT (No. 10)

This spectacular route along the Colorado River gorge begins at the Colorado River Bridge on the north end of Moab. Spending a day exploring this section of the river gorge will provide you with jaw dropping scenery and take you to the sixth-longest natural rock span in the United States, world famous movie locations, beautiful picnic and bouldering areas, a Film Heritage Museum, a large variety of hiking trails including one that goes to the breathtaking Fisher Towers, historical points of interest, guided horseback riding opportunities, outdoor dining, a brand new mercantile (opening in 2020) and a ghost town.

Utah State Route 128 (U-128) is a 44.6-mile-long (71.7 km) state highway north of Moab. The entire length of the highway has been designated the Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway, as part of the Utah Scenic Byways program. This road also forms part of the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway, a National Scenic Byway. Residents of Moab frequently refer to SR-128 as “the river road”, after the Colorado River, which the highway follows.

The highway was originally constructed to connect rural cities in eastern Utah with Grand Junction, Colorado, the largest city in the region. Part of the highway was merged into the Utah state highway system in 1931; the rest was taken over by the state and assigned route number 128 in 1933. Today, the highway is used as a scenic drive for visitors to the area.

The highway crosses the Colorado River at the site of the Dewey Bridge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This bridge was the longest suspension bridge in Utah until April 2008 when it was destroyed by a fire.

One of several 'windows' into the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel. When it was built in 1930, it was the longest tunnel in the USA at 1.1 miles in length.

Back in Salt Lake City for the holidays. Will meet up with the Barlows and drink some tequila to warm up and remember the good things. I love where I’m from, although sometimes it doesn’t feel real.

There was fresh snow but few sledders at Churchill Junior High School earlier this week. I guess COVID is still disrupting childhood as this place is usually crowded after a storm

I snapped some photos of snow piles while running errands at Olympus Hills Mall in Mill Creek Utah.

GTC Site, UT. Just a reminder that I’m no expert, just trying to learn what I can. I don’t know much about this site and I’m having a hard time placing these glyphs to a certain time period. They look old (but not too old), and I’m guessing Late Archaic/Basketmaker Period (around 1000 BCE-750 CE). I can’t get my pop-culture-raised brain to stop seeing the Death Star in Slide 1.
