Description
The Scenic Byway 279, starting from Moab, follows the Colorado River southwestwards through flamboyant landscapes and passes close to natural arches and Native American petroglyphs. It also offers several well-marked hiking trails, such as the Portal Overlook Trail, which offers panoramic views of the Moab Valley. Finally, it ends in front of a potash mine, potash being one of the region's riches, used as an agricultural fertiliser.
