Burr Trail Road

Owachomo Bridge - Natural Bridges NM

Today is sunny and warm so we are sticking with our plan to take Burr Trail Road and Notom Road to Capitol Reef NP.  We take our time driving, getting out a few times to shoot more photos of the unbelievable geology.  The first portion of the road is paved; once we reach Capitol Reef NP the road turns to gravel.  Two wheel drive vehicles can make it over the road.  The only questionable part is the Burr Trail Switchbacks.
