On that trip, we were going to take 24 from Bryce over to I70 and catch all the beauty in between. Had to make the change of plans.

The neat thing is that 99.9% of the visitors to this area come in the summer when the kids are out of school, so if you can do it in September or October even November after everybody leaves, you could have the whole place to yourself. Even the guards to the Parks leave while the leavin's good. LOL Which would make me creeped out a little bit because you'd sort of like to think you weren't COMPLETELY alone out there. You know, in case you ran out of Spam or something. But it is beautiful beyond description really. And Moab? don't even think about taking a camper near Moab in the summer. It's the off road rock crawling mecca of the EARTH between June 1st and September 1st.
BUT, if you are traveling west on 1-70 and want to stop in Moab during the off months which is after September, go in the back way at the Cisco Exit and drive through Castle Valley which meanders along the Colorado River and ends up in Moab. Stark Beauty like you find in John Wayne film. Matter of fact i think they filmed one of his movies in there. Sorry about this travel log. I live out here and love it.
