Today we had the opportunity to take one of the most spectacular drives in the world. Utah Scenic Byway 12 – The All American Road. Here is the start of the drive.
And as you can see it was just about a perfect day, clear with great blue sky. And from here is just keep getting better and better.
And it seemed like every time we went around a curve there was another spectacular view. And never knowing what the next one was going to be.
And as we kept driving, this was about 120 mile drive that took us between 5 and 6 hours. Could have done it much quicker but we just had to keep stopping to see the beauty. If ever in the area I would strongly suggest making this drive, start early and make sure camera has lots of battery and plenty of room for pictures.
Here is my DW trying to get that perfect picture… who kept saying don’t get too close to the edge, be careful.
Here is what she was trying to get that perfect picture of.
As we were driving it seemed we kept getting higher and higher which means the views seemed to be from longer distance.
And here is just past the end of the All American Road. There are these wonderful views are Capitol Reef NP. We were told the red in these are from iron in the rock.
By now we were getting tired and knew that we had quite a drive back to Sunny (our motorhome). What a great day and knowing that we are going to see more great things.
