If you enjoyed the scenery on rt 128, also consider driving down rt 279 which continues along the CO river but on the south side of town.

You can also drive on the opposite side of the CO river and that road is Kane Creek Road. Travels along the river for a number of miles then heads up out of the river canyon. Both are some interesting drives and worth it and OK for your truck.
