From the West or North: (via Evanston, WY)
Head south to the nearest connection with I-80. From Salt Lake
or Evanston, head eastbound on I-80. Take the Mountain
View Exit, #33, heading south. Follow the main road through
Mountain View. (The last supermarket is in Mountain View,
if you need to pick up some last minute items.) When the
main road in Mountain View forks, go to the left towards
Lonetree (S.R. 414). Soon after passing through Burntfork,
you will reach a turnoff with a large sign saying "19
Miles to Spirit Lake". (Shown at right) Turn right,
and follow the unpaved road. It will take you back into
Utah, and later into Ashley National Forest. After you
have driven 12 of the 19 miles, there will be a sign pointing
to the right to Spirit Lake. Turn right, and follow that
road 7 miles directly to the Spirit Lake Lodge.
From the North-East: (via Green River, WY)
From I-80 in Green River (WY), head towards McKinnon Junction,
then follow S.R. 1 towards McKinnon. After passing through
Rendezvous, where S.R. 1 meets with S.R. 414, turn right towards
Burntfork instead of left to McKinnon. Before reaching Burntfork,
you will reach the turnoff (to the left) with the big Spirit
Lake sign ("19 miles to Spirit Lake", shown above).
Follow the directions above from that point.
From the South: (via Vernal, UT)
From Vernal, head north on US-191, which joins with S.R. 44
westbound. Pass Carter Creek, and in about 1 mile, at the sign
to Sheep Creek and Brownie Lake, turn left. Follow the road
and the signs 21 miles to Spirit Lake.
