This 17-mile intermediate ride begins at Mill Hollow Reservoir, east of Heber, and follows a combination of dirt roads through spruce forests and across high mountain meadows. The highest point of the ride is atop Heber Mountain at an elevation of 10,210, where views of the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains are spectacular! A rustic campground is located on the shore of Mill Hollow Reservoir or several undeveloped campsites can be found in the area for overnight stays. To access this trail, take Hwy 35 east of Woodland to the Mill Hollow turnoff (Forest Road #054). Follow this road past Mill Hollow Reservoir to the day use parking area above the reservoir. Unload here and begin the climb to Heber Mountain. The route follows Forest Road #054 approximately 3 miles to a junction with Forest Road #096 on the right. Follow Forest Road #096 1.5 miles to Forest Road #055 which branches left and uphill. This is the final ascent to the summit of Heber Mountain. After catching your breath on the summit, reverse routes on #055 and #096. For a short out-and-back ride, return on #054 to the reservoir. To undertake the longer loop, turn left on Forest Road #052 into Campbell Hollow for a 2-mile downhill to the junction with Forest Road #122. Branch right on #122 to intersect with Mill Hollow Road below the reservoir. Turn right for the one-mile uphill return to the parking area at the reservoir. The entire route is open to motor vehicles and the Mill Hollow Road receives significant traffic on weekends.
