Leaving Moab, we sadly thought we were also leaving all of our red rock "ooohs" and "ahhhs".
What a nice surprise that by choosing to drive the Colorado Riverway we
could enjoy yet more astounding sights on all sides:
This was the first time we saw this section of the real Colorado river; not just
the canyons and formations its flow has created over
eons of time. The river is nearly as red as its "banks":
To the east of the river is "Castle Valley", and it is easy
to see why it is thus named:
These formations reminded us of our trips down the Mainz and the
Rhine rivers in Germany. Just like there, we saw "castles" on every promontory:
I don't know what river is indicated in the song,
"Red River Valley", but I have to think it is
the mighty Colorado:

What a great road to travel! All those wonderful formations were a treat, to be certain. The second to last shot makes me think of Monument Valley in AZ (not that I've been there)... Love all that color, even the muddy Colorado!
