As we drove out of Las Vegas we were so excited to be heading to Arches National Park that we didn’t ever know that we were taking such a scenic Drive to Moab Utah.
Interstate 15 through Littlefield Arizona
It wasn’t until the desert gave way to more mountainous terrain that we realized what we had in store. The highway appeared to be carved through the mountains. And those mountains changed colors as we drove through Arizona and then Utah. To merely called the ride scenic is a gross understatement!
Deepening cloud cover along I-15
We experienced such varied weather along our route that it was astonishing. Driving out of Las Vegas the sky was a little overcast but the weather was warm. Our drive along I-15 gave us intermittent showers. And by the time we got to Orangeville, Utah a snow storm was brewing. And we could see that it certainly was one of many. We drove though the snow and then dense fog. But as we got closer to Moab, the sky cleared and the sun came out revealing our stunning destination.
The mountains have a reddish hue along this bend in Littlefield, AZ
The OK RV Park was welcoming and adorable. There were even Tipis that campers could rent!
In this part of Arizona the mountains look like someone painted black stripes on them!
At this point I am going to let my photos tell the entire story of our scenic drive to Moab Utah!
Plenty of hills and valleys through red rock.
Mesas and mountaintops along our Scenic Drive to Moab Utah
Interstate 70 Orangeville Utah is where the white stuff started coming down
Thankfully the snow was not sticking to the highway
And then like magic the snow disappeared
And then came the dense fog!!!
Deep red rock mountains
This looked like a row of bee hives painted with thin black stripes.
Remnants of snow remained.
This felt like the road was ending abruptly. But it didn’t.
Here the deep red rock mountain looks like an ancient city
Scenes like these are such a gift along our jouney!
She’ll be coming’ ’round the mountain…
Here the mountain looks like it was painted in shades of red
Sharp peaks and colorful striations abound
Mesas and mountains and highway for miles
As we get closer to Moab the sun started peeking though!
