Make sure to stop and visit the Golden Spike National Monument which is on the way to the Spiral Jetty  They have a nice visitor center there to peruse, and starting the first Saturday in May, Golden Spike National Historic Site hosts Re-enactments of the Driving of the Last Spike Site ceremony on Saturdays and holidays through the middle of September  Great family activity and fun for the history buffs in the family!

Ryan Could you please consider making the directions to this cave more vague You are the only person to have posted the exact location online I believe the majority of people who use your site are awesome people who would never vandalize this rock art or deposit budlight cans/urine in the cave but it only takes one bad egg I think making it a bit of a puzzle to find the cave keeps people who won't respect the rock art and the site away I found this cave several years ago by piecing its approximate location togeth...

Yeah I was frustrated and came upon this site These two factors IMO Internet and the state of Utah promoting the Grand Circle 95 % of people stick to hwy 12 That is the problem here as this site is close Nobody should be promoting rock art in the first place

The camp was totally clean for us There are signs all over saying to pack out trash and human waste if the site is to stay open Maybe they recently did a clean up and posted signs I'm not sure, this was the first time for me I had my van with a cassette toilet, so it wasn't an issue for me, but if you're planning on staying make sure you bring a system to pack out your waste Also, 5 miles south of the site there is a dumpster and vault toilet that people seemed to be driving to in the morning to do their dutie...

One of the highest road in Utah, the Skyline Drive is an incredibly scenic dirt road traversing the spine of the Wasatch Plateau The route has many options, with many opportunities for shorter outings The route described here clocks in at just over 100 miles with all but a few of those miles on dirt There are 2 sections to the Skyline Drive, North Skyline and South Skyline The north section, from Tucker in Spanish Fork Canyon to UT-264, is a little lower in elevation at about 9,000 ft and a more maintained gravel r...

The Oak Creek Pictograph Panel is a small but very striking rock art site located just east of Oak City It is an easily accessible site that can be viewed directly from the road, making it a convenient stop for those visiting the nearby Oak Creek Campground The panel features four distinct anthropomorphic figures rendered in a deep red ochre pigment These human-like forms are characterized by a peculiar "spaded" or wide-footed stance, a visual detail that has sparked various interpretations over the years Some sugg...
