Driving Utah's Scariest Bridge Hell's Backbone Escalante #UtahTravel #ScenicDrives #HellsBackbone

Would you dare to drive across a narrow bridge with a 1,500-foot drop on both sides! The small guardrails do not even seem like they can keep a vehicle from falling down! Welcome to Hell’s Backbone Bridge, one of the craziest drives in the American Southwest! and no, the name isn’t a joke.
Tucked high in the rugged mountains between Escalante and Boulder, Utah, this skinny strip of road stretches over a jaw-dropping canyon with insane views in every direction. Built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, this engineering relic is just one lane wide, and yeah… it’s still open to traffic today.

The bridge sits at nearly 9,000 feet above sea level, and on a clear day, you can see deep into the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. You’ll pass pine forests, aspen groves, and maybe even a few deer! if your hands aren’t glued to the steering wheel from sheer anxiety.

This drive is not for the faint of heart—but if you're into thrilling roads, remote mountain passes, and once-in-a-lifetime views, Hell’s Backbone is calling your name.

Would you cross it? Or would you turn back at the first switchback? Let me know in the comments.
