U.S. Highway 491 and 191

Another couple of amazing scenic western U.S. highways are U.S. 491 and 191. We drove parts of both last Saturday morning from Cortez in the southwest corner of Colorado to Monticello on 491 and then on 191 north through Moab, Utah. You can see a snippet of the map here, reflecting some of the most scenic parts.

We had left Shiprock very early, around 4:30 a.m. so we got to watch a long slow, gorgeous sunrise gradually grow around us.

Here is an example that Chris snapped out the window with my iPhone (not a particularly high resolution camera, but not bad) on 491. You can see the sun just coming up.















Here is another example a few minutes later.
