Join a roadtrip to the majestic peaks of Zion Nationalpark and its roads less traveled, ride on Utah’s famous Scenic Byway 12 and visit the outerworldy landscapes of Bryce Canyon and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Highlights of this epsiode:
- From the town Hurricane we went to Virgin - and instead of following the the main road that crosses Zion National park, we took a left turn on Kolob Terrace Road, to approach the park from another less traveled direction, from the west. And we stayed at a very special place: Under Canvas.
- Under Canvas is probably one of the best glamping experiences you can get. You are in the middle of the amazing nature, but the tents have super comfortable beds, showers and toilets.
- The next morning we explored a lesser-traveled section of Zion: "Kolob Terrace". The ride up to Lava Point offers exceptional views, from golden valleys to the majestic North and South Guardian Angels. Its said that Zion Canyon is the heart of Zion National Park, and Kolob Terrace is where its soul lies.
- Afterwards we took the the 6-mile Mt. Carmel Highway through the park. It is a nice but mostly crowded experience. The ride provides visitors easy access to viewpoints and hiking trailheads.
- We rode through Dixie National Forest
- One of the Highlights: we visited Bryce Canyon! Bryce Canyon appears as a forest of rocks - its most distinctive feature are so called hoodoos, tower-like natural geologic features
- We traveled on Utah’s Scenic Byway 12 through the town Escalante. Utah’s Scenic Byway 12 is the only main road,that enters the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument; The section between the small towns of Escalante and Boulder was completed in the 1930s - and is the most spectacular part of the ride on Utah’s Scenic Byway 12
