This is a scenic driving route not a hiking trail. Traffic on the Scenic Highway can be heavy, especially if there is any construction going on. Expect big wait times to get into Lions Park outside Moab from Park City south at certain times of the year. The looks at the Colorado River are worth the walk to see the cliffs up close.
