East Canyon — SR-65 & 66
Big Mountain Pass and the reservoir run — the Pony Express did it slower.

Route line traced from OpenStreetMap — the real GPX drops when we ride it with the GoPro.
The historic summit — read the plaque, feel briefly profound, drop in.
SR-66 along the water is pure flow — the section you'll re-run.
Small-town finish line. The gas station burrito is part of the route.
Every route on this guide gets ridden and filmed by the shop. This one hasn't had its camera day yet — it's on the Saturday list, and the footage drops right here when it happens.

SR-65 climbs from Mountain Dell over Big Mountain Pass — 7,420 feet, and the literal route of the Donner Party, the Mormon pioneers, and the Pony Express, all of whom would have killed for a motorcycle — then flows down past East Canyon Reservoir where SR-66 takes over for the sweeper run into Morgan. It's the closest thing Davis and Morgan counties have to a proper sport-riding loop: good pavement, rhythm corners, water views, and a seasonal gate that makes opening weekend feel like a holiday. Loop home over Trappers and you've had a genuinely great Saturday morning.
