From Kodachrome, we returned to the scenic byway proper and spent the rest of the day driving the last 90 miles of it. Along the way, we stopped at numerous pullouts & one more state park (Anasazi).
The scenery continued to get more spectacular as we went. One pullout in particular offered a panorama unlike any that I'd ever seen before. Barren white rock stretched out below, punctuated by canyons, gorges, mounds, & streaks of grays, reds, & pinks.
After the state park, the scenery changed entirely. As we ascended Aquarius Plateau, a forest of pines & aspens spread out on both sides of the highway. In an open range national forest, we also saw plenty of cows, one or two on the road itself.
