[Mile-marker 35]
Another 2 miles takes us to the Glade Park Store and Post Office at a
four-way intersection.
An improved, gravelled road leads westward through pleasant country some
20 miles to the Utah State line, beyond which an unimproved road leads
either to the Colorado or the Dolores Rivers. Future planning calls for
improving the Utah stretch of this road and for building a bridge across
either the Colorado or Dolores Rivers to connect with scenic Utah
Highway 128. If and when completed, this would afford a very scenic
shortcut from Moab, Utah, to Grand Junction via the Little Park Road (to
be described).
South from the four-way intersection an improved gravelled road takes us
through wooded country, past lakes and campgrounds, to the summit of
Piñon Mesa, as noted earlier.
