Abajo Mountains - Scenic Drives

All of the roads through the Abajos offer pleasant alpine mountain scenery. Of special note is South Creek Road to the top of Abajo Peak and its great views over southeastern Utah. This is part of the Abajo Loop described below. If you are traveling between Monticello and the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, you can save 15 miles and get some nice views over the park by taking Hart's Draw Road down the northern side of the range. You might also consider taking Forest Route 095 west from the Abajos to Elk Ridge Road described below.
