[Bmcu] Fall Colour Tour details and directions

[Kevin Cowan]

Mount Nebo Fall Colour Tour 2013 Saturday October 5

For this year's fall Colour tour we will renew a BMCU tradition of

circumnavigate Mount Nebo.  We will stop for a picnic on route at Bear
Creek, so plan on bringing a lunch or picking something up on the way.
Also, better bring some warm clothing as it may be cooler at the higher
elevations.  

Due to the distance we will meet at 8:30 AM at the parking lot of the R.C.
Willey Clearance Outlet 9000 South and Redwood

Road .  We will leave at 9AM.  

Directions

We will go south on Redwood to

Lehi (SR-68) and continue south along

the west side of Utah Lake to Elberta,

then go east on US-6 to Goshen, then

south through Goshen canyon on SR-

141. This is a great road but watch for pot holes.

 

We will then proceed along the west

shore of Mona Lake and on into Nephi

and Walker Bros. Phillips 66 / Wendy's

truck stop at SR-132, where we will

make a short stop. Those who didn't bring a

lunch for the later picnic stop at Bear Creek can get

food for the picnic at Wendy's or the truck.

 

After this stop we will go east on SR-132 until 

the turn for Nebo loop.  We will go north onto the Mt. Nebo Loop, stopping

at Bear Creek for a picnic. After lunch we will continuing

over the loop which emerges at Santaquin

canyon in Payson. From there everyone is on their own tour for the trip

home.

It's a great drive, likely to be a little

chilly at the higher elevations, so remember to bring warm gear. 

 

Thanks to Paul who directions for the 2006 tour I shamelessly plagiarized.
