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.

Climbing Empire Pass westwards from Midway on the Guardsman Pass Scenic Backway offers a challenging but scenic ascent into Utah's Wasatch Mountains. Prepare for approximately 11-12 miles of sustained climbing, gaining over 3,000ft to reach the 8,740ft summit. The main climb averages around 5-6%, but features steeper sections, particularly on the initial winding climb out of Midway and in the final push towards the pass, where gradients can reach 8-10%. Along the way you'll enjoy the transition from aspen forests to stunning alpine meadows as you approach the top.

This challenging 8.8-mile climb begins with a moderate ascent and gradually steepens as you approach the summit, surrounded by dense forests of aspen trees. The route winds through lush, green terrain, offering glimpses of rugged mountain slopes and rocky outcrops as you gain elevation. As you near the top, the trees part to reveal stunning panoramic views of the high-altitude mountains, with the summit at Guardsman Pass offering a breathtaking perspective of the surrounding landscape.

Heber City is the gateway to several parks, national forests and nature areas in Utah, so it is a great place to start a ride. The city was first settled in 1859, and it still has several historic buildings that you can visit.
