Burr Trail Scenic Backway
by tgiacb717
The Burr Trail Scenic Backway is a 68-mile (109 km) backcountry route extending from the town of Boulder, Utah, through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument into Capital Reef National Park and then to the community of Bullfrog in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
The Burr Trail is named after John Atlantic Burr, a homesteader and rancher born in 1846 aboard the SS Brooklyn somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Burr and his family lived in Salt Lake City before moving south to establish the town of Burrville, Utah, in 1876. John Burr soon developed a trail to move cattle back and forth between winter and summer ranges and to market, known as the Burr Trail.
