Nottom Bullfrog Road
Description: The Nottom Bullfrog Road is an unpaved road that connects Capitol Reef NP in the north with the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in the south. The road runs parallel to the Water Pocket Fold and offers a lot of great viewpoints.
34mi after starting north, the Burr Trail joins Nottom Bullfrog Road and the roads run south together until they join Highway 276, 8km north of Bullfrog.
We have driven the road several times in different directions. During our visits it was always in a very good condition. You could have driven it with any passenger car. However, the conditions change very quickly during rain. Before driving on the road you should ask at one of the visitor centers (Escalante or Capitol Reef NM) about the road conditions. Very current information about the Nottom Bullfrog Road can also be found here .
Our rating: The Nottom Bullfrog Road is a great dirt road that should not be missed. On all our visits we were impressed by it, because you can always discover new things.
