As we depart from our epic Utah and Colorado road trip, we can't help but reminisce on the unforgettable views of red rock canyons and stunning vistas. The journey may be over for now, but we can't wait until our return to the awe-inspiring landscapes of Utah!
It's time to drive home from our 2023 Utah and Colorado road trip. With heavy hearts, we leave Green River, Utah, and head through some of the prettiest landscapes imaginable. Winding roads through red rock sandstone, canyons deep below, and the beckoning of home inspired us on this last day of the trip.
We gas up and hit the road from Hanksville, Utah along Route 95 until we neared the Colorado River and stopped to take in some views at a scenic overlook as well as by the Hite Crossing Bridge. It's amazing to imagine the length of time it took for the Colorado River to slowly carve away at the sandstone to create the red cliffs before us.
The Hite Crossing Bridge, built in 1966, makes for an easy way to cross the Colorado River, but before that the river was forded downstream or travelers with cars would later take an automobile ferry.
Finally, we say our goodbyes to familiar sights from a week prior when we were just setting off. Utah, we bid you goodbye but it won't be forever. We will return.
