Road trip guide: Conquering the Strawberry Ridge Road in UT
Strawberry Ridge Road is the name of a very challenging drive located on the boundary of Utah and Wasatch counties, in the U.S. state of Utah.
Set high in the heart of the Uinta National Forest, the road is totally unpaved. The road is 47.31km (29.4 miles) long, running north-south from Main Cyn Road to Forest Rd 042 (Indian Creek Road).
The road tops out at 2.947m (9,668ft) above the sea level. This road is usually impassable from late October through late June or early July (depending on snow). A 4x4 vehicle is required.
Running parallel to Daniels Pass, the drive offers great views of Strawberry Reservoir and the Wasatch Mountains. To drive the road without stopping will take most people between 2.5 and 4 hours.
