This is Potash Road in Moab, Utah — one road you must see before you die. Potash Road (UT-279) is one of the most scenic drives in Moab, following the Colorado River beneath towering red rock canyon walls with nonstop views the entire way. To find it, start in downtown Moab, head west on Kane Creek Blvd, and follow signs for Potash Road / UT-279. The drive is about 17 miles one way, but plan 1.5–2 hours if you stop for photos, petroglyph panels, river pull-offs, or hikes like Corona Arch and Bow

The variation of color occurs because the water is dyed a deep blue (darker water absorbs more sunlight and heat, thereby reducing the amount of time
