Zion-Mount Carmel Highway
United States · UT-9
A geometric work of art traversing towering Navajo sandstone monoliths, pine-scented switchbacks, and the historic 1.1-mile 1930 Zion Tunnel with arched windows carved into the cliff face. Pavement transitions to reddish asphalt complementing the slickrock swirls and Checkerboard Mesa formations.
Zion-Mount Carmel Highway runs 25 miles between Springdale / Zion South Gate, UT and Mount Carmel Junction, UT. We count about 85 corners along it, which is flowing rather than tight. Committed riding: real corners, real consequences.
