U95 Bicentennial Scenic Byway

At its western terminus at Hanksville, the Byway skirts reminders of the gold rush era and Indian battles. At Glen Canyon National Recreation Area(opens in new tab) it snakes through magnificent red gorges on its approach to the blue of Lake Powell(opens in new tab). It gives access to Hite Marina, Natural Bridges National Monument(opens in new tab), and Grand Gulch Primitive Area(opens in new tab). The Byway cuts through Comb Ridge, a sandstone monocline 1000 feet from the wash bottom to the top of the cliffs; it passes Butler Wash Indian Ruin, a small cliff dwelling at the end of a one mile hike; and finally joins US Highway 191 south of Blanding. From Hanksville to Blanding, allow 5 hours for this 140 mile drive with a stop at Natural Bridges, Mule Canyon, and Butler Wash.
