TRAVEL TIP #1:
TRAVEL TI
Utah is the place where prehistory intersects with the enduring spirit of
the Old West. Wild, adventure-rich places cradle vibrant urban centers.
With interstates and airplanes, the world can feel pretty small. On Utah’s
designated scenic byways, the world feels grand; its horizons seem
infinite. As you drive through Utah, you’ll inevitably encounter many of
the state’s scenic byways. In total, Utah’s distinct topography provides
the surface for 27 scenic byways, which add up to hundreds of miles of
vivid travel experiences wherein the road trip is as memorable as the
destination. Utah’s All-American Road: Scenic Byway 12 headlines the
network of top roads thanks to landscapes and heritage unlike anywhere
else in the nation.
All of Utah’s scenic byways are explorative journeys filled with trailheads,
scenic overlooks, museums, local flavors and vibrant communities
where you can stop for the night or hook up your RV. Not sure where
to start? In the following pages, you’ll discover monumental upheavals
of exposed rock strata among multiple national and state parks along
the All-American Road (pg. 4); dense concentrations of fossils along
Dinosaur Diamond (pg. 8); and the blazing red cliffs and deep blue
waters of Flaming Gorge–Uintas (pg. 12) — and that’s just in the first
three highlighted byways. Your journey continues down two dozen
additional byways, arranged north to south.
Best of all, these byways access an outdoor adventureland you can hike,
fish, bike, raft, climb and explore from sunup to sundown — then stay
up to welcome the return of the Milky Way. But get some sleep. There’s
more road ahead.
