Utah Scenic Byway 12 (All-American Road)
United States · UT-12
One of the most extraordinary motorcycle rides on Earth. Navigates Bryce Canyon’s red hoodoos, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and the legendary 'Hogback'—a knife-edge paved ridge with steep 1,000-foot drop-offs on both sides and no guardrails. Climbs through alpine aspen forests over 9,600-foot Boulder Mountain down into Capitol Reef.
Utah Scenic Byway 12 (All-American Road) runs 122 miles between Panguitch / US-89 Junction, UT and Torrey / Capitol Reef, UT. We count about 380 corners along it, which is flowing rather than tight. Demanding, and not a road to meet in the wet.
