Highway 12 is a scenic byway east of I-15 in Utah. It is Utah's "All American Road." It is an important transportation route for the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument. East of Panguitch it leads to the Red Canyon Visitor Center of the Forest Service. The Red Canyon Visitor Center is located in the Powell Ranger District. It is an appealing building with displays about local activities. The elevation is 7,100 feet; mountain buffs take note. The staff provides good information about recreational opportunities in the area. Tunnels were carved out in 1925 for Highway 12 in the Red Canyon rocks for the road alignment. The tunnels run for such a small distance that they might be called "circles." The Red Canyon area is so appealing it is hard to leave. Highway 12 is the approach from the west for Bryce Canyon National Park. Highway 12 extends from Heritage Highway 89 al the way to Turrey; about 124 miles of scenic country.
