What makes this road special

Utah's Scenic Byway 12, often hailed as the 'Journey Through Time,' offers an unforgettable 124-mile drive across some of the American Southwest's most dramatic and ancient landscapes. The route bridges Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks, winding through a surreal tapestry of towering red rock hoodoos, vast slickrock, and dense alpine forests. Drivers will navigate the thrilling, razor-thin ridge known as 'The Hogback,' where steep drop-offs on either side provide breathtaking panoramic views of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Ultimately, this spectacular All-American Road immerses travelers in millions of years of geological history at every mesmerizing turn.
