beware the cows. I liked the views the most. It was also impressive how much the nature changed so close to Moab. There are forests, and curving hairpin turns. Give it time, and you may enjoy the break from the Moab heat More

The one hour drive from Moab to Castle Valley was well worth the time. Great views of the La Sal mountains and the area around Moab and Castle Valley. More
