Best road from Monument Valley to Bryce

[defrireno]

Hello friends from a Spanish guy living in UK lol.

This will be my first thread in the forum and I would like to say hello everyone.

Iīm going to USA for a western holidays trip on early september, and iIīve got a question about which route to follow at this tripīs stage from monument to Bryce. Iīll spend the previous day in Page visiting Horseshoebend and Antelope, and after that finishing the day in Monument Valley, but Iīm in doubt about next day, I donīt know whether coming back Page and keep going to Bryce by US89 or driving through route UT-95 N and UT-24 W. What would be better? Not about either trip time or road conditions, but about sightseeing.

Thank you very much.

Welcome to RTA!

Definitely take UT-95 to UT-24 to UT-12. UT-12 is one of the great scenic drives in the country. You will also be going right by Natural Bridges and Capitol Reef.

If the weather is good and the road condition is good, you can take UT-261 from Mexican Hat to UT-95, cutting off a lot of miles and also experience the Moki Dugway and Muley Point. It would be advisable to inquire locally about the road condition before taking it.

I will second that and add another attraction, Goosenecks State park between MV and Moki Dugway. It's a brief detour with an overlook of the river snaking it's way around the rocks.
