Again today we were mostly in travel mode. Still a day ahead we headed for Brad's Brother's in Cedar City, Utah. Of course we can never ride in a straight line so our trip included a ride on a National Scenic Byway called the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway. As a bonus after talking with the BWB Members in Evanston Wy and Utah we decided to take 150 - the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway.
The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway extended from Wyoming to Utah and ran up into the mountians. The road actually hit heights around 10, 400 feet and afforded a few little views of early fall colors. We actually stopped at Mirror Lake but the surface was a bit choppy so we didn't see a mirror effect but the lake beautiful none the less.
We were very glad we were urged to take the route it was definitely a better ride then the Highways.
Even after we left the scenic byway there were several nice twists and turns getting into Provo, Utah where we had lunch.
After Provo we headed down I-15 for about 10 miles to hit the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway. Another really beautiful venture into the Utah mountians. To find the loop from the north you travel through a small town to the end of a residential street and turn onto a questionable road. We were wondering if we were actaully on the right road. But from there the ride gets nothing but better. The road is slow but the views are awesome. I will say though, you will need to do some cow patty landmine navigation and watch for the actual cows while you are at it!
Finally we just hit I-15 and headed south. Looks like Utah is doing some experimenting with speed limits. twice we were running speeds of 80 mph...legally!
We did hit a bit of thunder on the way but no rain. We were glad to be somewhere we were going to relax at for a few days.
