Natural Bridges National Monument
Bear's Ears
After leaving Natural Bridges National Monument, you may be in the mood to climb a trail, while sitting comfortably in your car. Make a left turn (when heading out of the park) onto CR 228, the road to Bear's Ears.

The road to Bear's Ears is well signed as you head into Natural Bridges National Monument, but there's no sign as you leave, so watch closely. |

This is the higher of the two ears... topping off at 9,058 feet.

After passing the peak of Bear's Ears, the road became muddy, and there was still snow on the ground (at the end of March). While I chose to head back the way I came, you may want to venture on. If you do, you'll find several dirt roads criss-crossing the Manti- La Sal National Forest. |

Heading back down from Bear's Ears, you'll see a great view of the Grand Gulch Plateau.
Continuing west on 95, you'll drive for miles alongside White Canyon. The road is straight, while the canyon winds. I've read of places where you can easily climb into the canyon, but I didn't find them.
Another view of UT 95, as we head towards Lake Powell, and Hite Marina.
