Description
THE FISHER TOWERS IN WINTER by PRISCILLA BURGERS
The picturesque Fisher Towers can be seen near Moab in southeastern Utah. Made of sandstone, the Towers cast a beautiful glow when they catch the rays of the setting sun. Fisher Towers was named after a miner who lived near them in the 1880's. The Towers are world-renowned as a subject for photography and for their classic rock climbing routes. Fisher Towers were featured in the opening scene of the movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember. This formation is located on Utah State Route 128, designated the Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway, which is part of the Utah Scenic Byways program. This road also forms part of the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway, a National Scenic Byway. A petition is currently before the Federal Highway Administration to recognize Route 128 as an All-American Road. To meet this criterion the highway must be deemed by the administration to have enough scenic value to be a "destination unto itself". Residents of nearby Moab frequently refer to SR-128 as "the river road", after the Colorado River, which the highway follows. Many western films and TV commercials have been shot along this road. Having traveled this road several times, I can highly attest to its scenic value.
