Alpine Loop Road in Wasatch Mountains


		Alpine Loop Road in Wasatch Mounains Utah: Provo and scenic drive on US 189 into East Provo Canyon & the Wasatch Mountains east of Provo. May 25, 2007. We are in Lakeside RV-Park on west Center Street in Provo (next door to Utah Lake State Park located on Utah Lake). We forgot all about Memorial Day until late last week when "the lights came on". Joyce immediately got on the cell-phone and started trying to locate a place for us to settle in for the long Memorial Day weekend. She got lucky and found the last vacancy at Lakeside RV-Park. That is why we are here but we are happy to be here. It is a nice park costing 27.41 per-night for FHU and plenty of shade from mature cottonwood trees. Down the street is Utah Lake State Park where rates are $18 per-night for water & electric and central dump station. They were full or we would have probably been there. Either would be just fine, in our opinion, although Lakeside RV is much nicer and overflows with more expensive RV's -- if you get my drift.

View from Alpine Loop Road east of Provo View from Alpine Loop Road east of Provo At this point we have climbed as high in elevation as Alpine Loop Road would go. We never got above the tree line but we did get into dense stands of aspen. Aspin grove along Alpine Loop Road At this point Alpine Loop Road is gingerly continuing to loop around the east and north side of the mountain. View from Alpine Loop Road east of Provo At some point on our descent Joyce snapped this picture of a retreat deep in one of the canyons. It must have been 700' or more below us. Alpine Loop Road (SR-92) connects with I-15 at exit 287 about 22-miles north of where our motorhome is located back in Provo. This was a good day. We have experienced some wonderful geology.
