Franklin Basin Utah Section

Trail Overview

This is a scenic full-width road that will take you to the Idaho border, where this route continues. As you progress up the basin, you will pass through forests, past the river that winds down the valley, and many campsites along the road. There are places to easily access the river along the route. The road is simple, and most vehicles should be able to make it just fine in dry conditions. The road becomes very slippery when wet, so use caution on some of the windier sections. At the end of the Utah side of this trail, be aware of the private land on either side, as it passes through a section that is not National Forest.
