Scenic Byway 12

Around Bryce - Utah

Our visits: We have driven the Scenic Byway 12 countless times during our visits to the southwest. Last time in June 2023.

Scenic Byway 12

Description: This nearly 124mi long Scenic Road is one of the greatest roads the Southwest has to offer. On this road are 2 National Parks, 3 State Parks, 1 National Recreation Area, 1 National Forest and a National Monument. So there is a lot to explore.

Our rating: In our opinion, Scenic Byway 12 is one of the most scenic routes you can drive in the Southwest. Not only the numerous highlights along the way are worth seeing, but the landscape as a whole is just great.
