Biking a Most Scenic Backroad -- The Burr Trail Road
















The Burr Trail Road is a remote and rarely traveled road in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It begins in tiny Boulder, Utah and travels 70 miles to Lake Powell. The first part is paved and traverses some truly spectacular country. At a few points in the road the massive walls on both sides go straight up and it is almost like you are biking in a slot canyon. Here are a few of photos from our bike adventure on a stunningly beautiful road.

A bit hard to see but Andrew and Rebekah are on that dramatic road making their way to the "slot canyons' on the road.
