This is one of the great Utah plateau crossings: the Wasatch Plateau via Eccles and Huntington Canyons. The scenically most interesting part extends down to Huntington on the east side, which is quite a bit further east than the highlighted section. "Hwy 31 west" is not right. If anything it is east from Fairview. But the Huntington side is actually better, less stark. Here are some more pictures and words: http://www.cyclepass.com/t_put_Hunt_Fair_u.html

Several vintage cars are on display at a restored café and garage. Opposite it, you'll find an old gas station.

This is an iconic, carefully restored building that is a classic example of early 20th century gas station architecture.

Big John is a coal miner. It was erected in 1964 and serves as a symbol of pride for the mining industry and as a memorial to the many miners who lost their lives in the local mines. It is named after Jimmy Dean's popular 1961 country song, "Big Bad John."

Climbing Highway 31 westwards from Fairview takes you on a long, scenic ascent over the high Wasatch Plateau towards the Huntington Canyon summit area. Prepare for a sustained 18-20 mile climb gaining over 3,700ft, reaching altitudes near 9,700ft. This climb is moderate with gradients averaging around 4-5% but with sections at the start hitting 6-8%. As you wind steadily upwards through the canyons you'll be treated to beautiful aspen and conifer forests.

Strawberry Reservoir floods a canyon, now known as the "narrows", connecting the "Strawberry" side of the reservoir with the "Soldier Creek" side. Wildlife is abundant along with amazing views of the lush forests along the canyon.

At the end of this enormous Aspen grove, you get a great view of Yellowbush Flat towards the Horseshoes. Aspens have evolved flattened leaf petioles to aide in their survival during high winds decreasing the likelihood of trunk or branch damage. The bark is also photosynthetic, allowing growth even after the leaves have been dropped for the winter.
