Monticello is one of those places where a short stop can easily turn into a useful part of a Utah road trip. There is plenty to see once you get outside town, but you do not have to drive far for everything.
There is a stretch during almost every road trip when the scenery starts to blur together. One exit looks like the last. The gas stations sell the same snacks.
The first hundred miles of a road trip usually fly by. Everyone is talking, music is playing, snacks are within reach, and every stop feels like part of the adventure. By the time the odometer climbs past 500 miles, the mood shifts.
Think about the last road trip you really enjoyed. You probably remember the views first. Maybe a canyon at sunrise. A winding highway with nothing but open land around you.
There is a moment on every road trip when the excitement wears off a little. The snacks are gone, the playlist has started repeating itself, and everyone is ready to get out of the car.
Located just 41 miles from Canyonlands National Park on historic Highway 191, our family-owned motor inn offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and genuine western hospitality.
