From Boulder to Torrey

This part of the All America Road or simply Scenic Byway #12 was only built and finished in the 1980´s - and that only for one end: Because it is so incredibly beautiful and the people are supposed to enjoy the landscape.

In the first part of this stage series we climbed the region around Escalante. Continuing this route, we start towards the little village, Boulder. Boulder welcomes us with a rapid descent on a road chiseled into rock, which gives the impression of an aeroplane coming into land.

Today´s motto is eating feet in altitude, because beyond Boulder the road leads in long bends, higher and higher, through meadows and forests. This way, in a sheer endless ascent we climb almost 984 ft while having a beautiful view of the fascinating landscape, which geologically presents the sea bed of the Pacific. Nobody knows how many dinosaurs are hidden in this rocks which can be seen from up here. We enjoy the cold and fresh air and round this smooth and giant mountain just below the tree line in order to glide slowly downwards to Torrey.

Our eyes light up as we look at the next sections of our US12 Series, the Capitol Reef and the Cathedral Valley and the picturesque off-road section, the Notom Burr Trail. All this sinks behind glowing red mountains, the closer we get to the Capitol Reef. As the shadows are getting longer and the sun shines into our faces we reach our stage destination.
