jederick Loc: Northern Utah

This part of CNP is about 70 miles south of Moab and 35 miles west of the main hwy. The 35 mile road to Needles is a good, two lane, maintained scenic drive although it has many dips and blind curves for about half the way. Along the way to Needles you pass "Newspaper Rock" which is well worth a stop. After this first part of the drive, the road straightens as you enter the Indian Creek Valley with their towering mesas highlighted by the "Six Shooter" mesas.
