Along this route
About this route
Highway 12 from US-89 near Panguitch through Red Canyon, past Bryce Canyon, through Escalante and Boulder to Torrey near Capitol Reef. Red rock, slickrock canyons and the Hogback, a narrow ridge with steep drops on both sides and hardly any guardrail. Then over Boulder Mountain at almost 2,900 m. Long distances between fuel stops, and snow on Boulder Mountain outside summer.
