McElmo Canyon - Cortez CO to Bluff Utah - By shercomike

Contrary to the previous review, we enjoyed riding this two-lane road. It had a decent surface with sweeping curves and constantly changing scenery as you dropped to lower elevation. It's easy to make a small detour to the visitors center at the Hovenweep historic Puebloan ruins. Gas is available in Aneth on 162, but it's 88 octane only.
