Cortez, Colorado to Blanding, Utah

Leaving Cortez we rode north to Dove Creek and then to CO 141 down to Naturita. Jim decided to make sure 141 was a memorable number on a long open stretch of the road!

We rode up CO 141 to see the Flume on the Dolores River and then enjoyed the awesome scenery and twisty road into Gateway.

In Grand Junction we met up with Darby and Alice for lunch. It was great to catch up with old friends. 

After heading west on I-70 into Utah, we headed south along the Colorao River on UT 128. Turning south we took the very twisty and rough La Sal Loop around the north west side of Moab. We then rode sout on US 191 to spend two nights in Blanding, UT.
