In Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, along Utah Route 12. Taken 3.26.15.
This is a day that will live in infamy as we got stuck in snow on top of a mountain, and spent several hours digging the car out using sticks (someone talked me out of bringing a shovel). For posterity, Hell's Backbone is an unpaved road that is unpassable in March by low-carriage vehicles, a fact that was not passed on to us by the friend who recommended it. Spectacular scenery, though, with a scary bridge that we didn't get to. The setback meant we were driving after dark on rural Utah roads. Not only did we not get to appreciate the scenery, but it was also somewhat hazardous, as the roads are somewhat narrow and very twisty. We burned a significant amount of rubber avoiding hitting a herd of cows on a bridge at one point- open range for the win!
