As someone who drove up in Sevier County and took that drive many times for
games in Moab or Blanding, I hate that drive. I probably became immune to the beauty and could only focus on the nothingness from Salina to Green River.

Then you made the correct decision. I had to take that route before due to fire up the canyon on the way towards Soldier

A fun alternate: Take I70 out of green river and hang a right at mile marker 147. Open the gate and close it behind

The first canyon is the best and requires a 4wd, the rest is graded county roads and pavement

Not only that, but there wasn't even a road there before I70. The San Rafael Swell was arguably one of the last

It's a catch 22. As the population increases, many people want to see this stuff. I don't blame them, that's what I do

It's underrated. I prefer driving it from Salina to Green River though. Driving down the canyons is a lot more fun
