Neither words nor my photos can do justice to how amazingly beautiful the views are from this road. So many colors and the big sky. Multiple ecosystems and elevations and different styles of rock formations. I cannot recommend this enough. The roadside information signs help...More
We planned our trip of the Mighty 5 for over a year and included Hwy. 12 as our connection between Torrey (Capitol Reef) & Bryce. The endless vistas, gorgeous scenery, sheer drop offs, Hell's Backbone ridge, elevation changes, quaint towns, Burr Trail road to an...More
