Scenic route
Utah Scenic Byway 12
An All-American Road threading the wildest slickrock country in Utah — from the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, across the knife-edge Hogback, to the cliffs of Capitol Reef.
Why drive it
Red rock between two national parks.
Two national parks, a national monument, and the unforgettable Hogback — a road on a ridge with drop-offs on both sides. Pure red-rock drama.
