Halfway along the road is Hell's Backbone Bridge, which is {{convert|109|ft|m}} long, and {{convert|14|ft|m}} wide. A {{convert|1500|ft|m|adj=on}} drop is on either side.[1] Near the bridge are views of the Box-Death Hollow Wilderness. From late spring to autumn, the road, which climbs to more than 9,000 feet (2,750 m) elevation, is passable by ordinary passenger vehicles, but it is very narrow and winding. Hell's Backbone Road is a high-country alternative to the paved Utah Scenic Byway 12, which also connects Boulder and Escalante, 27 road miles (44 km) apart.
