When we last visited the area we drove from the Valley to Cedar Breaks in 2 days:
- up the Dugway 261 to 95 (Natural Bridges) to 276 to Halls Crossing ferry (camp)
- ferry to Bull Frog. 276 to 95 to Hanksville. I wanted to take Burr Trail west, but it was closed due to a recent storm and mud flow.
- 24 through Capitol Reef to 12
- 12 (scenic) to Bryce
- 89, Panguitch, 143 to Cedar Breaks; this is upland forest and grass lands, with lava flows.
- 143 N to Brian Head (11,000 ft) down past ski resort to I15 (this is curvy and steep, as might be expected to a ski resort road)
- I15 to Cedar City, then west to Caliente Nevada and California.
Look at this area in a Sat view or Terrain mode to see where it crosses mountains and forests.
