Many Sites Along the Burr Trail
4/30/2021: The Burr OHV Trail is a beautiful backroad drive that isn’t too difficult and provides many scenic opportunities. We took our truck and were glad to have it because we took some of the offshoot roads, such as the Upper Muley Twist Canyon Road, which require at least a high-clearance rig, and preferably 4-wheel drive. But if you stay on the main Burr Trail, you should be fine in your Honda Odyssey. If you are in the area, this is definitely a recommended day trip with plenty of places to stop and smell the proverbial rose. There are many campsites along the way, as per the Geo-mapped Photos.
Per the website RootsRated, “What was originally developed as a cattle trail blazed by stockman John Atlantic Burr, the Burr Trail Scenic Backway is now one of the most picturesque drives in Utah. A paved and graded, gravel and dirt road, it extends from Boulder to Bullfrog Marina, passing through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
“Numerous stops abound along the trail, including family-friendly excursions, scenic viewpoints, and general meandering through juniper-laden desert.”
