The Bicentennial Highway from Blanding to Hanksville ist well known. I still wonder how many people today know about its predecessor. This is still a breathtaking route over the cliffs of the Comb Ridge:

See that road all the time when driving around, but never been on it. I need to head out to check it out one of these days.

The uppermost part of the road. Seems to me that a wash was widened and an new wash ditch blazed on the right side. This is by far the roughest stretch of the whole descend.
