One of our more sedate runs is also one of the most scenic, Echo Valley is a scant twenty miles east of the bench from Salt Lake to Ogden. From the forested glens of Emigration Canyon to the rolling hills of Browns Canyon and up by numerous reservoirs and through the postcard town of Coalville then the rock formations from Echo to Riverside Park in Morgan, this is a storybook Tour of our area. Except for the brief freeway access our speeds rarely exceeded thirty to forty but that works for the lanes traveled and a Rolling Car Show for the residents along the way.
Turns out this is one of our most popular Tours and enjoying the drive were:
