We started in the south and drove north. The scenery got prettier and prettier. At the top of the loop, the leaves were turning and it was beautiful. Coming down into Castle Valley was breathtaking. We enjoyed the ride on Rte 28 along the Colorado River. The roads were in good shape. I personally don't like drives with sheer drop offs and this drive had very few scary spots for me.

We encountered very little traffic on the drive.…

We gained about 4000' of elevation to the top, and stopped at the lookout for some lunch and to enjoy the views. My mother in law was disappointed because she'd been told there would be forests, and technically there were, in the form of pinion pines, junipers, and the occasional stand of aspen(?) birch(?). But we're from Washington, where forest means towering pine trees and tons of shade. But there is plenty to enjoy, including the wonderful views and twisty hairpin turns. Drops you out by the Colorado River and you wind along next to it back into town. We drove our pickup, but this would be a great road for motorcycle touring. We also met some people on bicycles at the top, which is a whole other level of insanity! Fun fact - the La Sal Mountains apparently have a robust population of black bears. But all we saw were cows.…
