I do this ride multiple times every year and have to say it's one of the best, if you're looking for twisties with tremendous scenic value. If you're only going one way, best ridden in my opinion from the Payson side. Better is to ride it both directions. The road tops out over 9000 feet, so there is often snow well into June, and it may snow as early as October. Absolutely fabulous in early - mid October when the leaves are changing.
Best ridden on a weekday, when you can carry more speed into the corners without worrying so much about running up the tailpipes of the leaf-peepers in front of you.
Watch for gravel on the road, especially after rainstorms. Also cows and cow leavings.

This ride is a lot of fun especially during the fall, but one warning to those who ride the Nebo Scenic loop, watch out for cows and crazy drivers!! It seems that I always encounter one of the two everytime that I ride on the Loop. Another bit of advice, ride in a group : )

I rode the MT Nebo Loop September and it was one of the most beautiful rides I have ever done. Some of the views are incredible. Plenty of area to stop and enjoy the views. The road is twisty and climbing at the same time. I entered from the Payson side, either way would be great. Watch our for cow patties on the road and cows and deer along the route. This will go down as one of the most spectacular rides, if not the most spectacular ride ever.

This is the best motorcycle road I've ever been on. Fun twisties, and mind-blowing scenery especially when the leaves change. I moved to FL, and am now moving back to Utah, and roads like this is one of the main factors in that decision.

There isn't a exit 254 and you want to take exit 250 to get to the loop. The first part of the ride isn't that great but once you gain about 2000 feet then it starts to get beautiful. Watch it on some of the curves for they are sharp and 2nd gear was the norm for a lot of them. Also i encountered gravel on one that moved my back tire to the right about a foot and a half which was real fun. Bring a camera for there are a lot of places to take a great photo

One of the most scenic and beautiful short rides to experience. I rode it in the beginning of June 2012 and although the road quality was good there were many places that had just been renovated with loose gravel on the south side of the mountain. BE CAREFUL!
Even in June there was snow at the summit albeit off road.
What a fantastic ride, If you are going to be even close to the area it is worth the effort to make a side trip here.

This ride is spectacular in the fall. The beauty of the changing leaves cannot be described. Brad is right on about the fast descents coming down the other side of the Nebo Loop. Use your gears to help slow your descent. Also, watch the weather as at that altitude it may change quickly. We were there in June of '07 and got snowed on. It didn't stick to the pavement but it sure got cold quick. Be prepared!

I grew up in Payson, Ut. Would ride this route all the time. It's definitely improved drastically over the years. With the new paving that's happened within the last year or two it's a very smooth and enjoyable ride.
