GLADE PARK

Another 2 miles takes us to the Glade Park Store and Post Office at a four-way intersection.
An improved, gravelled road leads westward through pleasant country some 20 miles to the Utah State line, beyond which an unimproved road leads either to the Colorado or the Dolores Rivers. Future planning calls for improving the Utah stretch of this road and for building a bridge across either the Colorado or Dolores Rivers to connect with scenic Utah Highway 128. If and when completed, this would afford a very scenic shortcut from Moab, Utah, to Grand Junction via the Little Park Road (to be described).
South from the four-way intersection an improved gravelled road takes us through wooded country, past lakes and campgrounds, to the summit of Piñon Mesa, as noted earlier.
GLADE PARK FAULT

Also, from the intersection a paved county road known as DS (south) Road leads eastward then northeastward through farming and ranching country 6 miles to the intersection with Rim Rock Drive near Cold Shivers Point. Three-fourths of a mile east of the Glade Park Store and Post Office the road crosses the Glade Park fault ([fig. 8]) along which the Morrison and Summerville Formations on the right have dropped down with respect to the Entrada Sandstone on the left. Here, the Entrada also has been leached to white.
