How to get to Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum
The park sits just off US-191 in Blanding, about 75 miles south of Moab (roughly 1.5 hours) and 21 miles south of Monticello. From Cortez, Colorado the drive is about 77 miles east, and Salt Lake City is approximately 320 miles north, a 5 to 6 hour drive. RV travelers should note that US-191 climbs and descends several grades through the Abajo foothills, and side routes toward Cedar Mesa and Valley of the Gods include steep, narrow, and unpaved sections unsuitable for larger rigs. The nearest commercial airports for fly-and-rent trips are Canyonlands Regional in Moab and Four Corners Regional in Farmington, New Mexico, with Grand Junction and Durango as larger alternatives.
