2015-04-13 Monticello UT - Bridger Jack Rd & Cottonwood Rd

We moved to Monticello today.  Vaughan's motorcycle "gang" are now gone and we had done most everything we wanted to do.  Monticello is about 50 miles south of Moab but an additional 2000 feet in elevation - therefore, a little colder.

On the drive down we passed Wilson's Arch,

We stopped at the BLM office for directions to a few of the canyons we want to see and were informed of a storm coming in tomorrow - 60 mph winds and snow.  We decided to quickly get on the road to Beef Basin which will not be doable in the snow.  Unfortunately, we missed a turn and ended up climbing up and up and up a road called Bridger James Rd.  It was a beautiful drive so we continued on for 2 hours until we were up so high the cliffs started to weigh on my nerves.

As you can see in the pictures below the road was not in the best condition - especially on cliffs.

When you see signs that say "Beware - Falling Rocks"  - please believe them.

The view of Canyonlands was incredible.

And now for a few nature shots - 

Sometimes getting lost can be a lot of fun!
