Known for its rafting, kayaking, and off-roading paradise, Moab includes canyons and rock formations that rival anything you&#8217;ve ever seen.<br \/>\nAfter a quick lunch, Lisa talked me into taking the &#8220;Scenic drive&#8221; to get to I-70 instead of the regular route&#8230;and boy was it worth it.  The drive followed the Colorado River through a canyon of red rock&#8230;but pictures never do it justice.<\/p>\n<p><p class=\"shadow\" style=\"width:400px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewlisa.com\/gallery\/thumbnails.php?album=37&#038;page=2\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/drewlisa.com\/gallery\/albums\/Colorado2009\/normal_CIMG3059.JPG\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" border=0\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p class=\"shadow\" style=\"width:400px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewlisa.com\/gallery\/thumbnails.php?album=37&#038;page=2\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/drewlisa.com\/gallery\/albums\/Colorado2009\/normal_CIMG3061.JPG\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" border=0\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>We did stumble across the historic Dewey Bridge that burned a year ago in a brush fire.
