River Road

River Road is the ultimate road trip detour and the closest thing to a scenic drive through Moab without being in Utah. River Road, Y13, is a historic and breathtaking cruise through two deep canyons along two different rivers flowing year-round. The graded dirt trail meanders along the banks of the San Miguel and Delores Rivers, where you will find numerous info boards describing the strange wooden structures sticking out of the sandstone cliffs above the river. The trail is narrow in sections but wide enough for all full-size vehicles. It's a county road used often by locals; you should expect oncoming traffic and use caution on blind corners. Camping is relatively abundant but not along the river's edge like one would dream of. A couple of pull-offs can accommodate 1-2 vehicles along the San Miguel stretch. Additional camping is located at the end of short spur trails away from the dusty road along the murky Delores River section. It's advised not to camp at the confluence; it's a popular location that all visitors should be able to enjoy.
