In this video we drive Johnson Canyon Road, one of Utah’s most underrated routes. A hidden gem near Kanab, Utah.
We begin our journey driving through the towering red and vermilion cliffs of Johnson Canyon, eventually stopping to capture breathtaking aerial drone views of the nearby Cottonwood Canyon landscapes just off the road.
The adventure truly begins as the pavement ends. We transition onto the rugged Glendale Bench Road, a dirt path that cuts through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The condition of the unpaved road was great, anyone should be able to drive it as long it it's not wet.
The drive concludes as we wind down a steep, twisty road with incredible overlook views, descending into the quiet town of Glendale, Utah.
