scenic Routes to Ofland
FROM LAS VEGAS
Map to Ofland Escalante and add Duck Creek, UT as a pass-through to route you down Utah’s SR-14 (some think SR stands for state route, but we think it stands for scenic route). Enjoy the views!
Pro Tip: If you're got an extra 15 minutes (only 7 in each direction), add a quick stop on the way at Sunset View Overlook in Cedar Breaks National Monument, which gives you a spectacular amphitheater view. It's located right off the parking lot, so no hiking necessary. When you leave, be sure to turn back around the way you came to keep you on the scenic path. Makes for a perfect picnic lunch spot too…
FROM Salt Lake City
Map to Ofland Escalante and add Torrey, UT as a pass-through to route you on a path with gorgeous views that passes by Capitol Reef National Park.
