Wickiup Pass

Wickiup Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.821m (9,255ft) above the sea level, located in Garfield County, in the U.S. state of Utah. 

The road to the peak is a rough, rocky, and steep road. It’s called BLM 14635. It’s impassable in winters. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. The trail is windy, twisty, rugged, steep in spots, single lane and thoroughly unpaved. There are sections where you'll wish you were driving 4WD with high clearance. The road is impassable in the winter and when wet.

4x4 recommended. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. The pass takes you up and through the Henry Mountains. Due to the high elevations and exposure, the road is subject to strong winds and rapid weather changes. Be prepared for the cold and wind! High winds blow here all year long. Even in summer you can confront with snowy days. Temperatures here in the winter are brutally cold.
