Follows SR-150 from Kamas to the Wyoming border. To Kamas: I-80 east, exit 146 toward Heber. US-40 exit 4 toward Park City/Kamas. Left onto UT-248, left onto UT-32, and right onto SR-150. One of the most popular mountain routes in Utah and Wyoming. Starting in farm and ranch lands, it rises to forested terrain accented by meadows and rugged mountain peaks. There are scenic viewpoints, picnic areas, campgrounds, and access to many of the 400 lakes found in the Uinta Range. At Upper Provo River Falls (24 miles from Kamas) you can view terraced cascades from walkways near the road. The byway climbs to 10,687 feet at Bald Mountain Pass, descends past Mirror Lake (a fee area) then to Bear River Ranger Station. From here the byway follows the Bear River—the longest river in the western hemisphere which does not flow into an ocean—and continues on to Evanston, Wyoming. Heavy snowfall in winter closes the byway to car traffic, but it remains open for snowmobiles.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
