Moab, UT to Vernal, UT via UT-128N to I-70
We are heading from Moab to Steinaker SP near Vernal. We can either take. UT-128 up to I-70 and then go up CO-139 to make our way to Vernal and Steinaker SP, or we can take US-191 North from Moab to I...

UT 128 is indeed somewhat narrow for the first few miles above US 191 but they have constructed a pedestrian/bike bridge that helped take people and bikes off of the highway. Still a full two lanes of road, but cliff to one side and river to the other means being on your toes. Very scenic drive if you don't mind paying attention to staying in your lane.
Check out this video to see what the drive along the river is like. Remember that for this video, the play back speed is double the actual speed.
Ken,
Watched the video - the first time we drove this in 97' we did not pass 5 cars - OH how it has changed - Looks like Disneyland.
Think I need to go back to your old line -
"those of us from Colorado recommend that people from out of state don't attempt this road in ANY vehicle. It's narrow and curvey. There are trolls waiting under the bridges who will force you over the cliffs. A rogue avalanche might sweep you away in the summer. There are bandits waiting to hold you up and take your money and children. There's really nothing much to see, and Silverton isn't all that quaint and cute. The massive wildflower displays are vastly overrated. The vivid color combination of green vegetation against the red rocks can be seen at Christmas time in diplays all over North America. The mine and ghost town remains are just unpainted, weathered wood -- nothing special. So for your safety, avoid this road in any vehicle at all costs. ;)"
