Scenic Byway 12
Smokey Mountain Road, UT

From Escalante, the Smokey Mountain Scenic Backway heads south for 78 miles and ends at Big Water near Lake Powell. From the road, you will have spectacular views of Bryce canyon, Navajo Mountain and Lake Powell. Smoke is sometimes visible from the underground coal mine fire that has been smoldering for over 100 years - giving Smokey Mountain its name.
