Our plan was a no-brainer: ride the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route (UTBDR) from Mexican Hat, Utah, to the Idaho border, starting in Santa Barbara, California. Packing along both the official map and GPS tracks, and having already nixed a couple of “expert” sections from our route, we set off.
"The Trail of the Ancients National Scenic Byway is a place where monumental land forms connect with the sky, and vast fields of stars fill the nights."
