DEAD HORSE STATE PARK. Near the more well known Canyonlands and Arches National Parks in the Moab area, this park is also worth a visit! Thelma and Louise's final scene was filmed here.

UTAH ROUTE 95 Natural Bridges to Hanksville - Incredibly scenic route, no parks really, just completely empty, with specatcular red rock and other formations under a clear blue sky. One of the nicest drives I've ever taken and it was completely unplanned!

UTAH ROUTE 24 - Hanksville to...

UTAH ROUTE 24 - Hanksville to Capitol Reef: Another very empty, and scenic route well worth driving! Allow time for stopping and enjoying the many incredible scenes.

NATURAL BRIDGES NATIONAL...

NATURAL BRIDGES NATIONAL MONUMENT - not one of the most visited parks in the state, and not one of the largest, but still well worth a visit. If you're coming from the SE, on Utah Rte 261, it gets windy and is dirt for awhile as you climb a plateau, but it's got a great view - go slow and enjoy it! Pictured is Sipapu Bridge, an easy descending hike.
