6. Fruitland to Evanston, WY
FRUITLAND TO EVANSTON, WY – 137 miles
You’ll get high into Utah’s northern mountains on this stretch. It starts with a gradual ascent on Current Creek Road. Beyond a reservoir the route continues on wide dirt roads that get smaller after rounding Heber Mountain. The route eventually crosses Hwy 35 and then follows a primitive road surrounded by evergreens and aspen trees. Once on Hwy 150 you’ll ride pavement that eventually tops out on a high alpine meadow with rewarding panoramas of the Uinta Wilderness. There is reasonable camping there and even more great sites can be found along the alpine lakes further ahead.
For advanced riders, there is an optional harder section just west of Hwy 150 that takes you over Gold Hill Pass, featuring rocky terrain rewarded by expansive views. The final part of the main route brings you to Evanston, Wyoming where you can fill up on fuel and food and stay the night.

Currant Creek Reservoir
Currant Creek Reservoir Heading north from Fruitland, make time to pull off for a longer stop at the Currant Creek Reservoir. There’s a day-use area on the west side of the lake with a fishing dock and a fish cleaning station. Expect to find plenty of other opportunities for outdoor recreation too, including hiking, kayaking, canoeing, boating and wildlife viewing. To stay for the night there’s a seasonal campground for a small fee, affording views of the nearby lake and the mountains. The site also offers a small store to stock up on necessary supplies for the campground or the ride ahead. Visit Website »

Upper Provo River Falls
Upper Provo River Falls For an easy stop that’s right on the route, watch for the signed parking area and overlook marking Upper Provo Falls. From the parking area, it is just a short, yet steep, walk on a trail leading to the river. It’s a fun place to go wading on a warm day if the water levels aren’t too high, but keep in mind that no matter how warm the weather is, the water stays cold! To get a closer look at the Lower Provo Falls just follow one of the established spur trails running down the river. This wooded area is also a great place to spot local wildlife. Visit Website »
