2016 Tour of Utah - Stage 2
Stage 2 of the Tour of Utah started this morning in Escalante, Utah heading east along Hwy 12 the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, over the Hogback formation, then up the long climb over Boulder Mountain and the ripping’ fast descent into the peaceful town of Torrey. 99 miles long and more vertical feet of climbing than any “normal” human would want to endure.
