Utah
Utah Scenic Byway 12 runs Panguitch to Torrey in Utah, United States. The road is at its best before the first coaches arrive, so staying within a few minutes of the start is worth more than a smarter hotel an hour away. Check the season before you book. Snow on Boulder Mountain from November to April.
