Review:
The Yampa Bench Road is an 18-mile scenic drive that runs along a large flat area above the Yampa River connects the Echo Park Road with the monument's southeast boundary. The winding road has several narrow and short steep sections and features several viewpoints, which look down on the shimmering snake of the Yampa River deep in the canyon below. The scenic drive also features a range of trails and historic sites that offer insight into the area's rich history and dramatic scenery, such as several historical homesteads and ranches.
