Notom Road Scenic Byway

Notom Road Scenic Byway is aptly named for its stunning views of The Reef as it travels north/south along the striking rock formations. Much of the locally known Notom Bullfrog Road has been paved, leaving only a 16-mile section of maintained dirt as it travels through the Capitol Reef National Park boundary. Regardless of the lack of technical difficulties, this stretch is still filled with scenic views and is very remote, with services being few and far between.

Those seeking to spend a weekend in the area may choose to camp at the Cedar Mesa Campground and hike to the Circle Cliffs or continue south to connect with the historic Burr Trail and traverse the steep switchbacks. Others may continue all the way south to the little hamlet of Bullfrog, where you (and your vehicle) can take the ferry across Lake Powell to Halls Crossing.
