My mama and I were in Cedar last weekend and decided to go check out the leaves up Cedar Canyon. I figured we'd drive up the canyon, over the mountains, pop out on 89 and then cut back over to I-15 at Bear Valley. But as we were nearing the HWY 12/89 Junction my mom asked if I wanted to head down HWY 12. I will NEVER turn down the chance to drive HWY 12. (unless of course there is a really bad snow storm...because it is SCARY in a really bad snow storm.)
There are almost 2.8 million people in Utah (as of the '09 census). I would imagine that at least 1.5 of those people are never going to experience the beauty that is HWY 12. I can only hope that my little blog will help to share the awesomeness that is HWY 12...one section of it anyway...and SR 14 and a little blurb of HWY 89...
Driving up Cedar Canyon on SR 14...looking down into Kolob
The leaves are a-changin'!
Did you know that all the trees in an Aspen grove share a root system, thus making it the largest, heaviest living organism on earth.
There was a sign back down the road a bit that said "You can own this view!" Can you really own a view? Am I going to have to pay someone for this picture someday?
If you have never been on Hog's Back (rode between Escalante and Boulder) you NEED to go.
Seriously...just take a Saturday or Sunday and go on a REALLY long drive...it will be worth it...
I promise....
I wouldn't lie about something like this...gas is expensive these days.
God is good.
I LOVE THIS!!
Up on top of what I think, is Boulder Mountain. It looks out towards the Henry mountains I believe...and into Capitol Reef...plus there were HUGE GORGEOUS Aspen groves up here!
Ok so decide when you're going to go and invite me. I'm a great tour guide AND I will chip in for gas!
You really have to see this all for yourself. These pictures do not do it justice...plus I missed a LOT of other B.E.A.U.TI-FUL sights!!!
