There's not a lot of touristy stuff on your route. 10 years ago the contrast between the Bedrock General Store and the Sawpit Mercantile (just off your route toward Telluride) was interesting. One was a historic building with a basic stock, what you might expect in the middle of ranch country). The other more upscale, clearly influenced by the Telluride ski crowd (though they bill themselves as “not quite Telluride.”).
But I see on the web that the Bedrock store has a new owner, and new style. Still the building looks the same, late 19th c.
North of UT 46 (and east of Moab) are the La Sal Mtns, which are nice forested contrast to the red rock around Moab. There's a paved loop through the mountains, and a couple of FS campgrounds (with bright aspens in the fall).
