One of the most scenic, and remote, back roads in this part of Southern Utah is Hell’s Backbone. The Civilian Conservation Corp built this road in 1933 to let vehicles drive between Boulder and Escalante. Mail and other goods continued to be transported into Boulder by mule until 1940. Today most people drive Scenic Highway 12 between Boulder and Escalante, and Hell’s Backbone is seldom used. (Don’t get us wrong, we love Highway 12, but we love Hell’s Backbone too.) Read More
