EVANSTON, WY TO IDAHO BORDER – 103 miles

The route from Evanston, WY to Woodruff, UT follows paved highways 89 and 16. In Woodruff you’ll turn west at a gas station and meander up Highway 39 into the Monte Cristo Range. Not far from the pass the route turns north on Curtis Creek Road and stays on dirt roads in forests and meadows near the crest of the ridge for about 50 miles. Along the way look for side roads to explore and a few vista points where you can stop and rest. There are great camping sites the entire length of the route through the Monte Cristos. At the end of the route you will be rewarded with a view worthy of the epic adventure you just experienced across the state of Utah. Head into Garden City for a cup of raspberry ice cream, the town’s specialty, and consider riding to the shore of Bear Lake where you can put your smelly feet in the water.
