Upper Basin Road

Trail Overview

The Upper Basin Road is an improved dirt road that is rated 2 out of 10 that crosses a section of the Kolob Terrace. The southern end of the road starts at the north end of the Kolob Reservoir at the Kolob Road. The road progresses west around the lake and north across Bean Hill and Lee Point. During the late spring, the Alpine Meadows will bloom with purple, blue, and yellow wildflowers. In early fall the leaves will start changing color and rival anywhere in the nation for beauty and landscape. The road crests at 8700 feet near the intersection with Kannara Mountain Road. The Kolob Terrace is a primitive area and there are no services so be prepared with water, a spare, and other items you might need if you break down. Due to snow fall the road is usually closed in November and does not open back up until June.
