Google Eath view of our route along Smoky Mountain Road, looking north. We started in Escalante (top end) and ended in Big Water. That's Lake Powell at the lower right.

The first third of the route or so was very winding with lots of tall trees, making it difficult to take pictures of the surroundings. This was the first place that was wide open.

This ant hill was about 2 feet in diameter!

See the hole in the rock up at the top?

The southern third of the road was quite featureless, but a lot less rocky and faster to drive

We got a bit of an overlook of Lake Powell and Glen Canyon to the south-east from here. It doesn't look like much at mid-day.

This is an old coal seam that has burned out. The mountain gets its name from coal constantly burning underground, but we didn't see any smoke or active burning.
