We had a leisurely morning , then we drove out along the Colorado River again. We turned off the highway about 20 miles from here, and followed the La Sal Loop Road into a beautiful Valley…
About 4 miles in we turned off into Castle Valley, a semi-residential area. This valley is unlike anything we have seen in Utah. All green – even the rock-faced mountains…
We found what appears to be “ancient” construction and some well-built old houses…
We returned to the main loop road and continued on…
As we ascended higher into the hills we were surrounded with views of the “pygmy” forest… None of these trees are much higher than 20 feet, but it is beautiful!
We came upon what looked to be alpine meadows…
And fall colors!
After we crested the summit we could see the Moab valley far below…
We returned to the highway which leads back into Moab. We stopped at the Moab Brewery and Distillery for a little lunch and a sample of their spirits…
We returned to The Villa and it was hot! We cranked up the AC and I took a nap…
Tonight we had a short music presentation by the family that owns the RV Park. It was, surprisingly, a lot of fun…!
After the music we had a drivers meeting – tomorrow we head to Torrey and Capitol Reef National Park…
And an enjoyable time was had by all…
