utah state route 95印象

Easy drive, no spectacular things to see. Traveled from Natural Bridges to Blanding. Better than the "Moki Dugway", which we drove to get to Natural Bridges.

There is SO much to see RIGHT off this highway, but you prolly need a guidebook. You can see a dozen amazing archaeological/cultural/natural resources less than 15 minutes easy walk from the highway. Stop in the Blanding Visitor's Center & they'll tell about WAY more interesting things to see than you have time for. If you've driven it before without stopping, I don't expect you to believe me. It just looks like more pinon, juniper, and sage than you're interested in. There are hidden gems that few people ever get to see every couple of miles (literally). And don't even get me started about all the amazing canyons between Butler Wash and Natural Bridges...

There was some fresh oil in parts but overall an excellent road to travel, very scenic. We picked up 95 right outside Blanding and went through national bridges and across lake Powell.

Be sure to stop at the Butler Wash ruins and the other ruins along the road. Take the ten minute hike to the Butler Wash cliff dwellings. This is one of the best scenic roads in Utah. If going to Mexican Hat, take 95 and go down the Moqui Dugway. It is a cheap thrill!

What a fantastic stretch of road. The views almost wanted you to wish the trip would not end. I would recommend driving from north to south as it is almost downhill all the way. The road itself are being worked on at the moment (August 2013) so a lot of loose gravel but the views absolutely make up for it. Don't miss the viewpoint north of Hite before you cross the Colorado river.

This is an easy hike well worth your effort. House on Fire is one of those hidden, but not remote ruins.....a true gem! We had seen professional photographer photos of this, not knowing where it was and discovered it on our visit to the Bluff and Blanding Utah area. The visitor center in Blanding will give directions to the site. We drove out on the Trail of the Ancients, Rt 95 from Blanding approx 18 miles. At County Road 263 (Arch Canyon) and about 1/4 mile in we parked on the dirt road, climbed down a moderate embankment and began the trail. The trail basically through the wash in itself was beautiful, juniper and pinyon pines and wildflowers galore (this was in May), but the spectacular sight of the ruins was not to believe. The dwelling was built under a large alcove. What made it so special is the "roof", rock ledge overhang's ridges give the impression that the dwelling has flames shooting out it, i.e. as if it is On Fire! We were there late morning, which apparently is the best time. It is a photographer's haven.....my photos rivaled those I have seen for sale in the galleries and at art shows. Apparently there are other remains along this hike, can't believe they could be better. The hike to the ruins was maybe a mile and a half. This is a must due if you can hike and like spectacular photos. As a PS.....there are numerous other wonderful sites in this area: Moki Dugway, Natural Bridges National Monument, Hole in The Wall (Bluff Utah) Pioneers Museum; Valley of the Gods, Hovenweep.......the Trail of the Ancients has information on all these.

along with Hwy 12, some of the most scenic driving in the entire US. Every turn reveals a new vista or canyon or geologic formation.

We were here to visit mule canyon specifically House on fire. We had to drive through the route since we had difficulty locating the Canyon. But the drive was not at all frustrating, the scenic drive was wonderful.

Utah has no shortage of scenic routes, and this sure is one of them. It is a fairly well frequented route since it is the one place between Navajo Bridge at the top end of the Grand Canyon and Page at Glen Dam on the one side, and Moab on the other side where you can drive your car across the Colorado River / Lake Powell and have access to the lake.Turning off 191 just south of Blanding, Route 95 itself is spectacular as it cuts through Comb Ridge and drops down into Comb Wash, then climbs to the top of Cedar Mesa and continues through pine forest. However, to explore the route’s major attractions, you have to get off the route sideways a bit and explore the Butler Wash Ruins, House on Fire in Mule Canyon, Natural Bridges to name just a few. History and geology galore line this route, as well as simply stunning scenery in glorious colors.

Nice BLM campground in Comb Wash just as you come through the gap in Comb Ridge and down the hill into Comb Wash. Good centralized place to see the nearby ancient sites. Pit toilets are available for these dispersed sites. No water though, and the road is treacherous if wet. Well worth a look if you enjoy desert boondocking.
