Equally as amazing as the mountains and towers you'll pass along the ride, is the section of trail that runs aside the Colorado river.  This section starts on top the cliff walls high up above the river.  At the end of the trail you'll descend the final descent down to the river.  The trail is over at this point, but the splendor continues.  The Colorado River Path is stunning.  It runs along the river back to the town of Moab.  The canyon walls offer evening shade and the elevated path above the the river offers a safe and gorgeous route away from the highway traffic.
