Highway 12 — A Journey Through Time Scenic Byway

Located in southern Utah and stretching from US-89 south of Panguitch in the west, past Bryce Canyon NP, Tropic, Cannonville, Henrieville and Escalante and then Head of the Rocks, the Hogs Back, Boulder and on up to Torrey where it ends at the junction with UT-24, highway 12 is one of the great roads and one you must drive if you find yourself in the area. This road, also known as "A Journey Through Time Scenic Byway", is best visited during spring or fall though it is usually passable all year round. The north east end between Boulder and Torrey, which climbs a mountain ridge above 9000 feet, can be snowed in during the winter. During the summer the temps can reach beyond 110F or 43C at the lower elevations. This video only covers a small portion of the route and begins just as we're approaching the Hogs Back from the north. We travel the Hogs Back and descend through the Calf Creek Area and across the Escalante River, and on to the magnificent "Head of the Rocks" area. This trip ends about 10 miles east of Escalante. This was an early attempt by me to record video from the top of my car to avoid glare and reflections when recording from the inside and I used a GoPro Hero 3 Black. This is not a bad camera, but it is limited to HD only, has a lens that is too wide and the AWB gets confused on occasion. I have since upgraded my kit to include 4K video camera and plan to revisit the area in the coming year. The area around Escalante is a great base of operations for anyone wishing to explore the slot canyons and other sights between Bryce Canyon NP and Capitol Reef NP. The area itself is designated as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. A huge portion of southern Utah is now managed by the park service as either a national park, national monument, or national recreation area. And, at the end of 2016, the area managed by the park service was massively increased with the inclusion of the Bears Ears National Monument at nearly 10M acres or nearly 15 thousand square miles. This part of the American west is a very popular destination for visitors from around the world. I've personally met many people Germany and France and a smattering from many other places. The desert west is particularly popular with Germans and many of the best videos and pictures take of the area are from our German visitors. As a transplanted Utahan I welcome you all -- come, enjoy and leave a little of you money with the small local businesses that survive on YOUR business. https://www.scenicbyway12.com/wp-cont... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_St... https://www.google.com/search?q=highw... https://www.google.com/search?q=highw... https://www.google.com/search?q=highw...
