An All American Road - Scenic UT 12

Utah’s Highway 12 is a scenic drive between US-89 (near Panguitch) and Torrey (ending at UT 24).  The paved road passes through Dixie National Forest, scenic overlooks, state parks, small towns, and the Red Canyon area.  The road offers easy access to Capitol Reef National Park (near Torrey, Utah) and Bryce Canyon National Park (near US-89).  In 2002, this 124 mile stretch of road was designated an “All-American Road”.   So I asked myself, “What is an All-American Road?”
