Road Scenery:

The
scenery is gorgeous from the time you leave Heber City
- beautiful canyons and evergreen forests as you ride
towards Strawberry Reservoir. Wonderful vistas of Strawberry
Reservoir, with several scenic overlooks. Redrock canyons
as you wind down through the canyon as you drop off the
plateau. A few miles of flatland as you head through Tabiona
and Hanna, and then you're back into the mountains again,
with incredible views as you cross over Wolf Creek Pass
and head through the twisties down to Francis as the road
shares the curves of the scenic Provo River. From Francis
back to Heber, you'll have gorgeous views of the Jordanelle
Reservoir and the spectacular view of the Wasatch mountains
and Deer Valley Ski Resort. You spend a lot of time traveling
through the Unita
National Forest. Beautiful ride!

Heber
City is a midsize town of 7,000+ situated in a farming valley
between the Wasatch and Uinta mountain ranges, and lies
about 15 miles southeast of Park City, Utah at the intersection
of US Highway 40 and UT Highway 189. Area activities include
horseback trail rides, mountain biking, boating, fly-fishing
in the Probo River (see the Heber
City website for lots more). Along the ride, you can
stop at Daniels Summit Lodge for a snack or a meal, but
my favorite is Hanna's Kitchen, about halfway through the
ride in (you guessed it) Hanna! It's a great spot to stop
for breakfast - portions are huge, the fresh pies are fantastic
and the prices are right. It's easy to spot, and open on
Sundays for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (You'll find it
easily - there will be lots of other bikes in the parking
lot!) There's a scarcity of fuel stops along the route,
so make sure you fillup before leaving Heber.
