Highway 12 over Boulder Mountain

A high alpine pass disguised as a desert road. Cold at the top even in July.

Roughly 32 miles of paved Highway 12 climbing to ~9,400 ft on Boulder Mountain before the descent into Torrey. The high country is cold even in July; afternoon thunder cells are routine in summer.
