From giant national parks to tiny desert towns, Highway 89 quietly became one of the greatest road trip corridors in America. This week, Jeremy and Amy explore the road connecting places like Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, Page, and dozens of strange roadside stops in between.

From western movie history and dinosaur country to scenic byways, pie shops, trading posts, and the evolution of the American road trip itself, this episode follows the highway that helped shape the modern Southwest travel experience. Because somewhere along Highway 89, the road itself becomes the destination.
