Travel: Burr Trail Scenic Backway, Utah 2024-05-24 - Boulder, Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking. Visitutah.com says, "What was originally developed as a cattle trail blazed by stockman John Atlantic Burr, the Burr Trail Scenic Backway is now one of the most picturesque drives in Utah. A paved and graded, gravel and dirt road, it extends from Boulder to Bullfrog Marina, passing through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Capital Reef National Park, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area." Robert writes, "We entered the Burr Trail scenic Backway from Boulder, Utah. Having seen some videos before our trip, we knew the first 18 miles were paved and would be worth exploring. Neither words nor pictures can adequately describe the beauty and geographical wonders along this road. Every few hundred yards the scene kept changing. From creamy colored slick rock, to the red rock formations, a small slot canyon and where the 18 miles of blacktop road ends, you're rewarded with an elevated vista of a myriad of colors. We turned around at this point, pictured above. I want to go back..." Paired Photo: Travel: Burr Trail Scenic Backway, Part 2 Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
