Utah: Favorite Paved
Summits and Passes
La Sal
Loop Rd s(u)
: runs along above the canyons
of Moab and below the peaks of the La Sal
Mountains
Ut 12: Boulder - Capitol Reef -
Boulder s(u) : I picked
this one not so much for the summit
section, but the canyons and sandstone
scenery in the section Escalante - Boulder
Cedar
Breaks Summit :
this is a big climb and all the scenery
waits on top
Alpine
Loop Rd Summit : a
narrow, curvy road like this is a rare
thing, especially closet to a metro area
like Salt Lake City.
Bald
Mountain Pass :
Utah's highest paved road is not very
steep but it does have amazing alpine
scenery.
Huntington
Canyon / Fairview Canyon Summit
: this Wasatch Plateau climb is
still covered with snow, when the heat has
taken over the canyons |
