HOW Day 8
Bringham City, UT to Alpine, WY
For me this was the most scenic day so far.
Just outstanding colors and views.
The Utah 101 is one of the most beautiful roads I have done with a combination of high canyon walls on the left and a myriad of colors by the river on the right.
From here, we rode north-south dirt segments, sometimes rocky, most of time easy yet rewarding single-lane dirt which connect the Hardware Ranch and Blacksmith Fork areas to Bear Lake, a huge lake shared by Idaho and Utah.
We continued on pavement around the south end of Bear Lake and crossed into Wyoming. Our lunch stop was in Kemerer, Wyoming where we passed JC Penney’s store which has remained in continuous operation since its April 14, 1902 opening. It’s referred to as the “Mother Store” or “Store Number 1”.
Western Wyoming’s Hams Fork Road took us to primitive yet scenic Dry Fork Road. This segment of the 19th-century Lander Trail was dry and it had substantial mud holes and deep ruts. Not for the faint at heart.
Continuing north, we entered a mountain valley where streams and meadows provided water and forage for 19th-century wagon trains.
We finished the day entering into Alpine through the Bridger National Forest.
We rode over 230 miles and we are staying in a very beautiful holiday resort.
