La Sal Loop and Castle Valley

Yesterday took the La Sal loop. Its about a 65 mile loop that starts or ends at Moab, UT.
The first 17 miles follows the Colorado River north. Turn right and in a few miles your in Castle Valley.
I came in at the far end of the valley, if you click on the picture you might be able to see where it got its name. Jennifer, I was here when you called. What a view. There was a little haze in the sky from dust.

The road continues on the valley floor then starts to climb quickly. I think I got up to near 8000'. It was COLD on the bike. One of the best motorcycle roads I have been on.


Once over the La Sal mountain range, Moab and Spanish Valley came in view.
Besides all the other things to do in Moab, I would recommend the drive, but start in Moab and drive it backwards from what I did. Much better views.
