The day starts out with a 20 mile ascent out of the Wasatch Valley followed by an 80 mile descent onto the Colorado Plateau. Services along this section are somewhat limited, so plan on carrying extra food and water with you. If you follow this itinerary, you do so at your own risk. Failure to exercise good judgment can result in traffic violation citations, injury and even death. If in doubt, please consult with state and local law enforcement agencies.by fbrusca
