Colorado Riverway Bicycle/Pedestrian Bridge
Moab, Utah
Description
Added by Margaret L
Colorado Riverway Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge is the narrowest river crossing of the Colorado river. The trail to the bridge, begins on the north end of Moab. The bicycle and pedestrian path is a smooth, well marked, paved road which is protected from the highway. After 2 miles, the path arrives at the Colorado Riverway Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge, just off Highway 128. Once you cross the bridge, it leaves the river valley and climbs gradually through the red sandstone cliffs of Moab Canyon. Wear sunscreen and bring lots of water. The trail will eventually lead you to the entrance of Arches National Park.
