Ut1364 Brown's Park Rd s(u)-2

The second summit on Brown's Park Rd tops out 20 or 30ft lower than the first, but its bottom is 1000ft lower. I guess they don't call it a hole for nothing. Actually "hole" is also an old fur trapper designation for fertile hunting grounds. This must be the best hidden 10 to 12 percent paved climb in the state of ... I want to say Colorado. But actually we are still in Utah at this point, but not by much. Best hidden also means least traffic.

a profile for this point is included on the page Ut1364 Brown's Park Rd s(u)-1

Approaches

From East. In Clay Basin Ut1364 passes a few oil wells and also a turnoff to a alternate connection between Ut1364 and US191. From here the good all weather unpaved road connects very close to the highest point on US191 between Dutch John and Green River, where it crosses an slice of Unitas. While looking back during the several hundred feet of climbing to this Ut1364 summit, the flat summit of Little Mountain was still lined with snow, and look deceptively high. Shortly thereafter Ut1364 turns about 90 degrees to the right at a another junction. This turnoff road leads to the Three-Corners Monument. There are several points where 3 corners of states meet, and I wonder how many are marked with a monuments. The top is quickly reached,

From West. (described downwards). This is the major grade on Brown's Park Rd. The wide steep road is wonderfully clear of traffic. After the first several hundred feet of riding the brakes, a right turn brakes out onto an open decent into the valley with the Green River as goal.
