Driving Utah Route 12 Scenic Byway Through Grand Staircase-Escalante

One of the benefits of our planned route from Torry Utah down to Bryce Canyon was getting to drive one of the most beautiful roads in the USA! Utah 12 Scenic Byway. This wonderful stretch of road starts in Torry Utah and goes about 122 miles ending at a small town called Panguitch at Hwy 89. The drive will take about 2.5 hours but offers some of the most beautiful and breathtaking scenic views you will ever see! Not only is it a wonderful drive, there's so many attractions located on both ends and during the drive. On the east end you have Capitol Reef NP, on the west end you have Bryce Canyon NP, and along the middle there's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. There's many great destinations along this drive as well. Next time we make this drive we will be more prepared to see more of what there is to offer, like the hikes to waterfalls and natural arches. Our drive takes us to the small town of Escalante where we'll stay a few nights before heading further west to Bryce Canyon.

Ok. Ok. That was some wonderful, beautiful, and stunning scenery. If the camera only captures part of the view, being there in real life must have been spectacular. Bravo! Cheers! Whipple

That is one of the prettiest drives in utah.

A couple years ago my wife and I vacationed in Utah & Arizona, 'camping' in a RV. Coming from Kodachrome Basin State Park to Capitol Reef we drove that road that rides the ridge with all the beautiful scenery dropping off to either side. My wife is taking picture after picture while I'm gripping the steering wheel repeating my new mantra, "The yellow lines are my new friends."

Watched this video to see what we missed driving the scenic byway in the dark. Had I known there were these cliffs on both sides of the road I wouldn’t have been driving so fast to get to Torrey… 😅

[@user-cb3sy5xi4t]

Very nice this trip and you are very nice man

[@markgordon6971]

Food looked pretty good.👍

[@RobertKohut]

Highway 12 is one of the greatest motorcycle rides in UT. This is also in my backyard.

Abby doing a fine job of road movie crafting.

[@simcoespring]

I always enjoy an unexpected journey. What a view

[@chrisrock8710]

Hey you two! We just drove this road yesterday 10/22 and stopped at as many places we could. The views were 100% outstanding and we were both glad we took the time to see all the sights. We stayed in Torrey 2 nights for Capitol Reef, and are staying in Tropic for a few days for Bryce. Kudos to you for navigating your rig through all those ups and downs. Our vacation in Utah almost exactly follows yours, too bad we were a few weeks later. Love the channel and your obvious love for travel and adventure. Maybe we’ll see you in Utah someday.

[@mr.snoopy8732]

We hit that scenic highway last year right as the sun was coming up, my eyes welled up it was so beautiful.

[@RobertKohut]

Wow, that sunset shot... :-)

[@morpheuswanderer3524]

Thats one epic view.

[@zadrik1337]

I have ridden my motorcycle on that road. So fun. You probably drove through my home town on the way from Tory. It is a blip on the map still.

[@AbomAdventures]

Boulder?

[@jmpattillo]

One of the best roads in America.

[@mikebroom1866]

I think everyone here needs more info on what was in the dutch oven. I'm hungry and that looks amazing.

[@tomclemons344]

Looks like you guys are having a great time in Utah. My son and I spent 3 weeks camping & hiking there. Hit all of the Utah 5 plus a couple of state. We ate a great pizza at the one you pointed out in Escalante.

[@gerriefarman3174]

You guys picked an awesome area. I was there back in May and loved it so much going to go back next year and do more hiking.

[@odc43054]

Be glad you are there this week. The beginning of the week before was cold and wet and rainy. I had to re-route.

[@richb313]

Really awesome scenery and taco's.

[@kevincampbell3943]

[@farmer9180]

[@AbomAdventures]

It’s a beautiful drive!

[@algaylor9971]

Just before you crossed Calf Creek (area) I saw Wiley Coyote & Roadrunner out near the Acme Warehouse.... giggle. Living vicariously thru uz guys. Went through Bryce canyon in 1969 just after the moon landiing. Had a picnic on Potato Mt.

[@rleeAZ]

Route 12 is awesome. Was hoping you would find your way along there.

[@VegasEdo]

Nemos is a great burger joint, tell them the Sub Zero guy said hello! If you want pizza and a beer, the Outfitters is stellar (you know, the Patagonia place:-). And if you are passing through Cedar City, UT, stop in our shop and we will play with some liquid nitrogen!

[@alyssaway94]

Love these satisfying Videos keep up the good work sorry your to the end but I got to say that that site may look like nothing but it is something such a nice view too bad you couldn't pop off a couple round on that hill in the back but looks damn satisfying!!$

[@tonynagy2042]

[@jamesstanlake4064]
