Distance and timing basis

Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Why this ride

The stored terrain estimate reaches about 2,650 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It suits an unhurried touring pace.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Boulder

    Boulder, Utah, was the last town in the United States to have its mail delivered by mule, and the arrangement lasted until 1940, since no road reached it. The village sits at about 2,000 metres on the edge of the Aquarius Plateau in south-central Utah, a tiny community of ranches, a few houses and a lodge, with red sandstone cliffs on one side and pine and aspen forest on the other. The nearest big towns are far away, and the village still has a feeling of being at the end of something, which for generations it was.
