This is a great hike off route 128 maybe 4 miles east of Moab. It is a canyon hike that follows a river with a large arch at the end. Lots of river crossings and great changing scenery starting at the parking lot. The arch is very long and is close to a cliff face. Different and interesting.
I took route 128 from Fruita. This road is like a National Park. It goes along the Colorado River. Many nice campgrounds, and a handful of very good hiking trails. The La Sal loop leaves from this road and should be explored.
Should you go out of your way to visit Cisco UT? No. If you are driving by, like I was, it is worth 15 minutes of your time. It is mostly abandoned but it seems like maybe a half dozen people live there. I heard a dog barking and there are a few signs of life.
This is about a mile beyond the Pollock Bench trailhead at McInnis Canyons. A nice piece of land on the river. Probably a very nice place to walk in the Spring.
