hwy 62 in Utah
Going to Bryce,Ut. from Torrey,Ut. Is hwy 62 South off of hwy 24 a good road to travel with 40' 5th wheel. Map shows road in black and not red. Kind of leary.

Busskipper, watched utube. Convinced not the road for us. I wouldn't have a problem, it's the Wife sitting in passanger seat with shear dropoff and no rails in most places. Thanks.
Rode the 12 on my Harley last April ...
I wouldn't do it in a large RV. At one point the road was narrow, very narrow, no shoulder with huge vertical drops offs and then we round a corner and there is a warning sign:
Warning 18 per cent grade, steep curves next 4 miles... I kid you not.
No, not kidding... Don't know how you could miss the sign if westbound, might want to pay more attention especially on that stretch of road. :E
We rode the bike out of Torrey last April up over the pass and stopped for breakfast at Boulder {the Devils Backbone Cafe which is excellent but I digress}. From there to the top of the grade is known as the Devil's backbone and about 20 minutes out of Boulder the sign I described is on the right shoulder and takes you down the 4 miles to Escalante State Park. No place for a large RV.
Sorry I did not stop and take a pic of the sign but I was more than a little busy keeping the bike on that narrow, spectacular road while my bride reveled in the views.
:C
