Red Cliffs and the Colorado

There is only one time I have stayed at a hotel/motel of sorts near Moab. It was at the Red Cliffs Lodge just up the Colorado River from Moab. The lodge is located on a beautiful bend of the Colorado. The reason we stayed at the Red Cliffs lodge was because I had won a two-night stay. If it were not for that we would have been camping for sure. If you want to know more about Red Cliffs Lodge ask me... or find them on the internet. 

While we were Staying at the Red Cliffs Lodge we got to see some lovely scenery of the Colorado River and the areas around Moab, Utah. We went to Arches National Park, Negro Bill Canyon (including Morning Glory Arch), Moab and other places. It was beautiful.

Right out the back of where we were staying we had a great view of the Colorado River and the surrounding bluffs and mesas. We were completely surrounded by red cliffs, and the new greenery complemented them well. It was fun to come out and see river rafters passing by.

The scenery was breathtaking no matter the time of day or night. In the following images you get to see some of the photos I took along the Colorado River.
