Squaw Valley Road, aka FR27

We are in the valley, just to the east of us is a huge mountain range, the Wasatch Mountain Range, much of which falls under the stewardship of the Uintah Ranger District.  Year round they maintain a forest road that traverses the Squaw Valley and provides snowmobile trails and jeep trails.  So we grabbed the motorcycles and went.

The road started off pretty benignly unlit we passed the last campground and a sign that said: "Road not suitable for passenger vehicles."

The road twisted and turned, climbed and descended and always had either huge chuck holes or many, many rocks.  Fortunately the traction was good and the rocks did not move around, therefore Barbara gave this trail the following rating:

As you traverse the top of the mountain you get several views of the valley below.

The colored leaves make it a wonderland of color.

It was growing late and getting colder.  The GPS said we still have 12 miles of mountain road to travel.  So when we broke out on the south side of the route we were very happy to see the valley just below us.

One of our better motorcycle trips through the national forest.
