Then if you are taking the scenic route, turn off further along onto Ut 12 east. It has steep and winding road spots so be warned but it is -very scenic-. If you go that way you'll pass Bryce Canyon NP. Then pass Escalante State Park just before Escalante (good slot canyons in the area along with the Devils Backbone Drive), Then ahead is Anastazi State Park Museum at the town of Boulder. 12 ends at Hwy 12, to the left is Capital Reef NP turn right to go to I-70. Take I-70 east for about 30 miles and exit at US 191 south to Moab.

Here are some links to places along the Ut-12 Scenic Byway: Burr Trail, Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, Kodachrome Basin State Park, Anasazi State Park, Calf Creek Falls, Hells Backbone and Bryce Canyon National Park.

UT-12 runs from US-89 South of Panquitch to UT-24 at Torrey. UT-24 connects to I-70 at Vermillion to the West and near Green River to the East. Capitol Reef National Park is East of the UT-12/24 junction. Just North of Hanksville, UT-24 will take you past Goblin Valley State Park.
