I am now planning a 2 week driving trip from Southern California to Utah right after Memorial Day. A friend of ours in the SF Bay area sends us the bi-monthly magazine "American Lifestyle" every 2 months. The most recent edition has a very in depth article about touring scenic Highway 12 in Utah. It is a 122 mile loop from Torrey UT through Boulder UT, Escalante and ends at Bryce Canyon park.
We are going to drive up 395 to Ridgecrest CA and then cross through Death Valley to Las Vegas and then up I-15 to I-70 and then drive down to Torrey. We will then follow Highway 12 with some side trips to 89 and then south to Kanab and then across to I-15 at St. George's and then down I-15 to home. This will be a very leisurely trip spending several nights along the way. We will finish up by spending 4 nights in Las Vegas at The Paris on the way back.
After reading the article and looking at the stunning pictures of the red rocks and other scenery, I then did a lot of research on the Internet. Highway 12 is the only All American scenic byway in Utah and offers just spectacular scenery. We have been through Utah many times but have never taken the time to stop and look around.
Below are a couple good links to Utah's Highway 12:
