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

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