From Boulder, we continued North on Highway 12. The views became spectacular as we ascended Boulder Mountain. The road climbed to over 9,000 feet, and we snapped a few pictures of Grand Staircase below.


Lower Browns Reservoir.


The Henry Mountains, and Mount Ellen in the distance.

We followed the 12 to the 24 in Torrey, and took the 24 through Capitol Reef National Park. We took some photos in Capitol Reef, but these will appear in another post on the Capitol Reef area. From Torrey, we followed the 24 to I-70, then took highway 6 north. Near Wellington, we took the Soldier Creek Road up Nine Mile Canyon. Nine Mile Canyon is one of Utah's lesser known gems, and home to some of the finest Fremont Rock art in the West. Panel after panel of petroglyphs adorn the canyon walls.




















These are just a few of the panels that we saw. We could have taken photos all day, but it was sunday evening and we had to get home. Work sucks!!
