| Description: The road passes through a pinon-juniper scrubland, as it climbs to the ridge of the San Pitch Mountains. At the crest, the scenery opens up, with grassy meadows affording expansive vistas of the Wasatch Plateau & Sanpete Valley. Along the descent, gray shale & red sandstone outcroppings intermingle with the small stands of pine & aspen. Chicken Creek Campground is developed, but there is dispersed camping throughout the forest. A trailhead is right past the campground, & a network of roads can be followed to explore the mountains further.
Location: From Levan, on UT-28, the road goes east through the Uinta National Forest & terminates in the small town of Wales, on UT-117.
Season: closed in winter from the campground to Wales.
Fee: no. Reservations: no. |
