“A mellow approach to some Deer Valley sidecountry.”

Driving Directions GPX File

Type: Backcountry or Sidecountry

Description

This is a mellow approach on a seasonally closed paved road. Parking can be tight, and sometimes residents (who live beyond the gate) park here. Please do not block ANY cars in the parking lot.

From the bottom, this road lazily approaches Empire Pass. From there, you have a few options ranging from a very mellow descent directly south to a nice and long tour to Scott Hill and Jupiter Bowl.
