Burr Trail

The Burr Trail is a scenic, historic route in southern Utah, known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich geological features. Stretching about 68 miles with pavement from the town of Boulder to the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the trail offers stunning views of red rock canyons, towering cliffs, and mesas. Originally a cattle-driving route, the Burr Trail now attracts travelers seeking a unique drive through diverse desert terrain, including the famous Waterpocket Fold and the dramatic Capitol Reef National Park. The portion of the trail written about here is the dirt stretch spanning the National Park boundaries. It is only a matter of time before it is all paved! Regardless, this trail is a must-see for those looking to experience the rugged beauty of southern Utah's wilderness.
