VISA Turn to the Experta New Utah - Thursday, October 7, 2004 - Page 9 Enjoying the scenic Alpine Loop colors By Gretchen Willard Forget the hiking boots and the canteen. The beauty beau-ty of Timpanogos and the color of the fall leaves can be enjoyed from the comfort of one's own car, on one of the state's most popular driving trails: The Alpine Loop. The 24-mile drive from the entrance station at American Fork Canyon winds through a canopy of trees changing from green to orange, yellow and red. "Because there are many different kinds of trees, the colors turn at different times," said Loyal Clark, a public relations representative representa-tive for Uintah National Forest. Clark said the leaves will continue to change for the next month. However, drivers driv-ers are encouraged to be cautious while they enjoy the beauty. "The Alpine Loop is a very narrow, winding road and there are very few pull-outs pull-outs along the road," Clark said. "It's great to pay attention atten-tion to the colors, but it's more important to pay-attention pay-attention to the road." Along the road, there are places for visitors to pull off for pictures and views, and drivers are asked to not stop in the middle of the road. The summit, with an elevation ele-vation of 8,100 ft., allows spectacular views of Timpanogos, Tim-panogos, Clark said, and visitors may also see the variety of. wildlife that inhabits the Unitahs. Various Vari-ous birds, deer, elk and moose can be seen in the park. About seven miles from the Alpine Loop, visitors can also .drive to Cascade Springs, where there is a boardwalk that meanders through small waterfalls and ponds. Currently, the boardwalks are being replaced, so it will not be open until the end of the month. The Alpine Loop and Cascade Springs are very popular destinations for weekend recreation, Clark said. They encourage people to drive the Loop on weekdays week-days to avoid traffic through the canyon. "It's difficult to have a quality experience when you're stuck in traffic, so we encourage people to come on weekdays," Clark said. "It's the most ideal time to go." Entrance to drive the Alpine Loop is free, if visitors visi-tors are not planning to use trailheads, picnic areas, camping or fishing. Otherwise, Other-wise, there is a $3 pass that allows access to the canyon for three days. Camping fees are additional, and vary in price. Passes can be purchased at the entrance to the park, or at the National Park Offices. The Alpine Loop will be open until the Department of Transportation deems the weather to severe for safe driving.
