I found this beautiful resort scanning the iPad on Google Earth - a great place to spend our last night on the road and a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World chain. It was position right on the banks of the mighty Colorado River and was a world of green grass, horse riding and a vista to compete with everything we had already experienced. It was nice! We watched some rafts float by and enjoyed the sunset on the imposing buttes and cliffs at our backs, then dined in the restaurant and congratulated ourselves for making it this far. It was a magical place and I could imagine the less intrepid enjoying a few nights here, where they offer all the off road experiences in Arches and Canyonlands you would want.
Thursday morning we head for Grand Junction and into Colorado. Lusty Leroy the sat nav narrator directs us through Cisco which I am sure is a ghost town which in the early morning light looked particularly scarry. The road from Moab to Sorrel followed right along the banks of the river and in the morning we continued the route until we joined the I-70 east to Grand Junctiona airport to return the car and make our way to the Amtrak Station.
