My, the summer was short this year! It’s already getting to be time for our fall color tour. This year we’ll be going up over Wolf Creek pass. The trees are already turning up here, so it should be a magnificent drive.
Please note that this is one of our few Sunday drives, to give some of our members who work on Saturday a chance to join in. We are keeping October 9 for a rain date just in case. Keep an eye on the website and the BMCU email list for confirmation.
We’ll meet at Hogle Zoo (end of the parking lot nearest the mouth of Emigration Canyon) at 9:00 am for a 9:30 departure through Emigration Canyon, proceeding East on I-80 we will have a secondary rendezvous at Silver Creek Junction exit 146 (after you exit go left over I-80) at a Sinclair Gas station around 10:00, leaving at 10:30.
Proceeding on Highway 40 towards Heber we will turn off on SR-32 going east towards Francis. Just before the steep hill into Francis we’ll turn right onto Lower River Road for a nice set of twisties before joining SR-35 in Woodland and heading up to Wolf Creek Summit where we’ll stop for a picnic lunch. Best to bring chairs/blankets in case there is minimal seating. From there we’ll head down towards Hanna where there’s a small store if folks need a potty break.
From Hanna we can choose to either continue on towards Tabiona and around by Strawberry Reservoir via US-40 or to go back over Wolf Creek and on to home.
