Sanpete Valley Travel Information
Sanpete Valley and the Wasatch Plateau comprise an expansive area of
forested peaks and rolling
hills, alpine meadows and mountain lakes. The highest point of the
region is 11,300
feet above sea level, and a good portion of the plateau sits above
10,000 feet. Much of
the range is only accessible by dirt roads which accounts in part for
its uncrowded conditions. Its most well-known road is the Skyline
Drive which runs for 100 miles along the crest of the plateau
providing access to numerous campgrounds, hiking areas and great
views. The Wasatch Plateau covers an area 65 miles from north to
south and roughly 25 miles across. It is located southeast of the
Wasatch Mountains between Hwys. 89 and 10. Hwy 31 through Huntington
Canyon provides the easiest access to the plateau and to Sanpete Valley.

same thing as the Wasatch Mountains that lie to the east of Ogden,
Salt Lake City and Provo.)
