Center Creek Road - Level 3
Center Creek Road climbs from the Heber Valley area into the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah, following the Center Creek drainage up toward high forest and open ridgeline country. The route moves from lower sagebrush and scrub oak slopes into aspen and conifer stands as it gains height.
It makes a good half-day outing for drivers who want a mountain road with views and room to stop along the way.
