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.
