The Atlas/Utah/Ogden River Scenic Byway (UT-39)

Officially designated a Utah State Scenic Byway. Popular with motorcyclists for its steady stream of curves and canyon walls that close in to near-lane width in the lower section.

Fully paved, lightly trafficked, long stretches between services. Officially designated the Bicentennial National Scenic Byway.

Burr Trail Grill
Utah
Casual diner and coffee shop at the western mouth of the Burr Trail Scenic Backway in Boulder. Hearty breakfasts and lunches; on-site coffee bar. The building sits literally at the point where UT-12 bends and the Burr Trail heads east into Capitol Reef country — half the riders who arrive for fuel leave planning a detour.
