Diamond Mountain Plateau and in
Brown's Park
Between Dinosaur National Monument and the Green River, one
can explore the rugged scenic terrain where Butch Cassidy
and the Wild Bunch wandered. Seventy miles south of Ouray
are the wild Book Cliffs, off the beaten path by anyone's
standards.
The Great Basin
The Great Basin offers solitude and vast open stretches for
off-highway exploration, and some demanding mountain terrain
as well. In the northwestern part of the state, the old
Railroad Bed Road, a remnant of the first transcontinental
railroad, which was completed in 1869, continues west from
Promontory to SR 30. Use caution.
