August 11th...Cascade Springs Loop With New Pictures!

Dale and I just returned from an amazing trip, and this week we want to highlight one of our favorite rides from the trip.

The Cascade Springs Loop is a paved ride located in central Utah (near Highland).  Starting just outside of Orem, UT, this ride quickly climbs into the mountains for a continuous stream of curves and switchbacks.  The Cascade Springs Loop traverses the entire Alpine Loop Road to the Provo River Canyon.   At the bottom of the canyon there is a short trip to the Khyv lookout for a stunning view of Salt Lake City and the surrounding mountains.  Descending from the lookout, this loop travels back past Deer Creek Reservoir and almost to the city of Midway before turning back West to traverse Cascade Springs Road. Cascade Springs is another amazing ride that rejoins the Alpine Loop and eventually returns to the starting point near Highland.
