| We took 44-mile scenic byway 128, along the Colorado River, from Thompson Springs to Moab. |
 |
| The roadway of wooden planks was 502 feet long and only 8 feet wide. Many drivers lost side mirrors on the bridge. The bridge, constructed in 1916, was the longest suspension bridge in Utah until the wooden parts of the structure were destroyed by a brush fire in 2008. |
 |
| The bridge could support the weight of six horses, three wagons, and 9,000 pounds of freight. A new bridge, designed to support today's vehicles, was completed along side the Dewey Bridge in 1988. |

| Award-winning wine is produced from vineyards that grow along the Colorado River. |
