Jordanelle Reservoir: The reservoir is in Wasatch County north of Heber City and can be seen along Highway 32. It is fed primarily by the Provo River.
The earthen dam (on left in photo below) built in 1993l A state park was opened in the surrounding area in 1995.
Upper Provo Falls: At the 24 mile marker on Highway 150 is a parking area that provides access to the trails to the falls. There are 3 impressive cascades in this area that provide a spectacular display! We came across this beautiful location by chance and loved it!
Bald Mountain Overlook. Located between the Upper Provo Falls and Mirror Lake on Highway 150, we stopped here for photos of the beautiful scenery.
Mirror Lake: Located at 31.5 mile marker on Highway 150, Mirror Lake is a popular fishing and recreation area in the Uinta Mountains. Three types of trout can be caught in the lake: rainbow, brook, and tiger. The Lake was named for the beautiful reflection of the surrounding mountains and trees that can be seen in good weather (it was windy today when we were there). At 10,000' above sea level the temperature here was 49 degrees (and 72 degrees in Heber City!) Bring a warm jacket when visiting.
Mountain views on the way back to Kamas:
The Mirror Lake Scenic Byway is in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The day use fee is $6.00 per vehicle (good for three days). It was a beautiful drive!
