Written Directions

Start in Southeast Utah near the town of Blanding, UT at the intersection of US Highway 191 and Route 95. Then simply take Route 95 west into Natural Bridges National Monument. The one way trip will be about 40 miles. If you want to continue on, Route 95 runs West-Northwest to Hanksville, Utah. All of Southern Utah is part of the Moab/Canyonlands/Monument Valley/Bryce Canyon Basin. There are NO bad roads here! This area is a "MUST SEE"/"MUST RIDE" AREA!!! May regret giving my opinion, as I/We plan to return to this area from Rhode Island!

Scenery

30/40/50 mile vistas! High Desert. Red Rock. Geological riff! Natural Bridges National Monument! Keep a camera hanging from your neck while riding...USE IT..you'll want to remember this ride "FOREVER"!!.

Drive Enjoyment

Great road. NO TRAFFIC!! Elevation changes. MUST TRAVEL BOTH DIRECTIONS TO APPRECIATE!!!

Tourism Opportunities

Nothing there! THAT'S THE POINT!! Restrooms at Natural Bridges National Monument. Note: However, if you continue on Route 95, you can also visit the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

-- I love desert country where you can see so many rock formations and such long distances beckoning you to come. At Natural Bridges, I have found small corn kernels from the Anasazis. At Fry Canyon to the east, is a fantastic cliff dwelling in a small canyon. I climbed down to it once--quite an adventure. --

As a fellow Rhode Islander i must agree, we just made this trip in Sept. 08 and the roads of southern Utah are like nothing we have ever been on before.
