Please check local regulations for: Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
Location: Kamas, Summit County, Utah, United States
The Bald Mountain Pass climb from Kamas offers you a long and incredibly scenic road biking ascent on State Route 150, the stunning Mirror Lake Highway, taking you high into the Uinta Mountains to the highest paved pass in Utah. Starting around 6,480 feet in Kamas, you'll climb approximately 24 miles, gaining over 4,200 feet to reach the 10,715-foot summit, with a moderate average gradient around 3.3-3.4% that becomes more sustained in the upper sections. As you follow the Provo River initially and ascend through forests, the scenery is breathtaking, passing numerous alpine lakes and offering spectacular views of the Uinta peaks and the high alpine environment from the pass.
