We have been so busy with the remodeling of our home that leaving the state for any type of travel get-a-way was really not in the cards, not at this time. But we had just finished some major projects the essence of tile and the laying of the carpet. So it was very necessary to celebrate with a break, a break away from the home.
With Fall having had arrived a trip out to one of the many mountain passages sounded like the perfect idea. There are so many beautiful scenic road trips you can take that are just breathtaking. In North Eastern Utah you can go to the Big Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway Scenic drive up a 15-mile highway, the Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway Scenic drive and the Dinosaur National Monument Scenic Drive, as well as the Flaming Gorge Uintah Scenic byway scenic drive there are many more these are just a random few.
For this trip we chose to go on a road trip through Trapper’s Loop Road for our day trip (Highway 167)
It is a scenic back way that runs between Huntsville and Mountain Green along the eastern side of the wonderfully landscaped Wasatch range that stretches about 9 miles. At the right time you can see a wonderful view as the leaves change colors, if you’re lucky you may have a chance of spot some of the wild life that live along the hillsides. In the past we have seen deer, and moose but we were not so lucky this time.
We thought we would stop up at the official venue of the 2002 games, Sun Valley Resorts Snowbasin. On the way we spotted some wild turkey, about a dozen bobbing their heads up the mountain side as they walked. That was neat, all things not remodeling! It was really just great to take in that fresh air with the wonderful views on a beautiful day. The last time we had been through their it was covered in more hills of land but on this trip new homes had popped up everywhere. Beautiful homes with breath taking views, what a set up! These homes were large and well thought out, when did all this happen, have I been blinded to my house that long that I missed all this!
Piece of mind! We took some pictures take a look at the Busy Visitor at Earls Lodge post.
