Instead, if you drive the entire UT-128, the distance between Green River and Moab becomes 95 miles, for a total of about 1 hour and 40 minutes of driving (without stops). When making your choice, remember that from Green River to Moab via the US-191 it takes just 50 minutes to drive 52 miles. For this reason, if you have some time at your disposal, it would be advisable to spend at least half a day exploring on UT-128. Moreover, on this road, there are many incredible trails. But I’ll tell you right now that if you decide to take this road, it is quite unlikely that you will resist the temptation to stop at one of the many points of interest along the way. The distance between Moab and Cisco (the point where UT-128 starts) is 47 miles and without breaks, it takes 1 hour to drive. Half-Day Tour: Rafting in Colorado Distance and Travel Time In addition, anyone who wants to go rafting on the Colorado River has the option to do so easily here without spending much, unlike other parts of the river. It’s not something you would expect, starting in Moab (besides a short stretch on the Potash Road), you can’t easily drive along the river anymore, except for a short stretch on the Marble Canyon.
From there, the Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway begins.īut why choose UT-128? I’ll go into great detail as I describe this road so that I may persuade you to go, but for now, you just need to know that – just as the name of the scenic road suggests – almost the entire route takes place along the Colorado River and it traverses an unforgettable landscape. In order to take the most beautiful road, you will go straight at Crescent Junction for another 22 miles to Exit 204 towards Cisco. While it is true that this is the fastest route from Bryce Canyon to Moab, it is also true that the fastest route is not always the best one to take. If you plan to reach Moab from Bryce Canyon or Capitol Reef, you’ll need to take the scenic UT-12 Scenic Byway and UT-24 Scenic Byway, then after you pass Green River along I-70, at Crescent Junction, the GPS will tell you to get on US-191. If you’re traveling from Colorado, then you know the way. This is a good alternative to US-191, a faster but certainly less scenic road. When you look at a map, you’ll notice that UT-128 is a winding road that goes east of Moab towards the junction with I-70, where the interstate connects Utah to Colorado. What Is the Best Time to Go?
