I-15 North and I-70 East from St George Utah to Grand Junction Colorado are two of the most breathtaking Interstate Highways that I’ve ever been on. It has one of the few stretches of Interstate Highway that has designation as a national scenic byway.
In Feb of 2016, we were returning home via car from several weeks vacation in Nevada and Arizona and decided to take this route as we’d never traveled it before.
Hubs was laughing at my continual oooh’s, aaah’s, wow!!’s and loook at that!!’s.
All of my photos were “on the way by” with my DSLR camera (fitted with zoom lens) set to sports mode.
Google got a good workout this morning as I researched the different rock formations we saw.
By definition, my feature photo is possibly a combination of buttes, hoodoos, and a mesa.
If you’ve never been on this road, but the landscape looks familiar, perhaps it’s because many western movies were shot in this area.

I remember traveling this road about 39 years ago. We had visited Arches NP and drove from there into Grand Junction. Of course, there’s much I do not remember. But I do remember the landscaping looking like another planet. I also remember how barren Utah seemed. I remember we saw a sign that said “Last Services” – or something like that. We got off the highway, and it was a single trailer with a street light on. We got back on the highway. Once we crossed the state line into Colorado, it was as if we were back in civilization. I do still have my pictures – in a plastic storage bin in the basement. I may even have a picture of that same mesa. It would be fun to return someday. I am sure it looks so different now. I enjoyed reading your post!

I’m happy you enjoyed the post and that it brought back some travel memories for you. Wouldn’t it be fun if we have photos of the same Mesa? That would be totally random, as I was just snapping everything I could as we were moving down the highway. Have a great evening, Betty!
