Location: SH-141 and US-50, Mesa Cty
No reassurance shield as 141 splits from US-50. 141 heads south from here and is one of the most scenic routes I have ever driven. I suspect it’s overlooked by tourists because Moab and all associated national parks are just west of here, and it doesn’t connect anything important, but it’s a really neat drive. Up there with Washington 129/Oregon 3 as far as unknown but amazing drives go.

Reassurance shield a couple miles later. Gateway is just around this corner.
Location: SH-141 and FoyRd, Gateway, Mesa Cty
As we head around the corner, we’ll approach the little town of Gateway. In Gateway, we’ll catch up with the Dolores River. After this, the route starts to get really scenic as we parallel that river.

Location: SH-141 and SH-90, Montrose Cty
Several miles later, just before we enter the town of Naturita, we’ll approach Colorado 90.
Location: SH-141 and SH-90, Montrose Cty
Follow 90 west to Paradox. Stay on 141 to head into Naturita.
Location: SH-141 and SH-90, Montrose Cty
Turn right for 90 west. Stay straight for 141 south.
Location: SH-141 and SH-90, Montrose Cty
Turn right here for 90. The arrow is missing, which is unfortunate.
