Trail Overview

This is an awesome drive. You will need a high clearance vehicle due to rocks, but 4x4 is not necessary. This road gets very tight and very high and if you aren't experienced in off-road driving, or if serious heights worry you, this probably is not the road for you. If you are ok with that then this can be a very fun afternoon or even night drive. There are several different turn offs but as long as you stay on what looks like the main road and continue upward then you are going the right way. This road is heavily used by ATVs and trucks, and it gets very dusty. From the top you can see Salt Lake through most of the Wasatch Front, Huntsville and into Cache Valley. On a clear day, you can see parts of Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming. At night, it is very cool to see all the lights of Salt Lake and Logan. This is a great road to see wildlife and is famous in Utah for its herd of mountain goats. Could be impassable with snow during winter.

Trail is open all the way to Williard basin overlook where the gate is locked until July 15th. The trail is passable up to that point with drifting melting snow narrows it down to one lane passing. My Maverick R made it up fine.
