Its special charm blends Mormon pioneer heritage with a thriving artist enclave, featuring Danish immigrant craftsmanship in limestone and brick structures like the historic tabernacle, schoolhouse, and city hall—many now art studios, galleries, and cozy eateries.

Skyline Drive

Skyline Drive

One of the highest roads in Utah, the Skyline Drive is an incredibly scenic dirt road traversing the spine of the Wasatch Plateau. The route has many options, with many opportunities for shorter outings. The route described here clocks in at just over 100 miles, with all but a few of those miles on dirt.There are 2 sections to the Skyline Drive, North Skyline and South Skyline.The north section, from Tucker in Spanish Fork Canyon to UT-264, is a little lower in elevation at about 9,000 ft and a more maintained gravel road. This north section sees more traffic and is busier than the south section. People drive low clearance vehicles on the north section, but I would still recommend high clearance. The few low clearance vehicles I saw were moving slowly. There are many camping options, but also many people camping on this section. From UT-31 south is the southern section of the Skyline. This section, after a few miles of good dirt road, becomes a “native soil” road that is prone to mud and ruts. It is longer, higher in elevation, and more dramatic than the northern section. Because of the elevation and mud/ruts, this section requires high clearance 4-wheel drive and is only passable from mid-to-late July through about September, when free of snow. If you are camping, I think the southern Skyline has the most scenic spots, particularly the area south of Ephraim Junction. It also has far fewer people visiting it.
