Show Daniel's Canyon Lures Fish Devotees O 1 o Camping Ideal on -Pike's Peak Route Tribune-Overland Car Finds Grades Easy to Negotiate and Roads Fair. 1 By "W. J. EisheL THERE are two well defined roads into the Uintah basin from tho west. One goes by the way of Heber City and Daniel's canyon and the other by the way of Kamas, Woodland and Stockmore. Both travel through a well watered and timbered country with good fishing and camping grounds. Of the two routes the Woodland-Stockmore Woodland-Stockmore is the least known. In order or-der to open this route to travel The Tribune - Overland Pathfinder, fitted with Portage tires and using Vico lubricants, lubri-cants, recently made this trip, and a new strip map is published herewith which will lead the tourist over this route. Tho summit is 9000 feet about 1000 feet hicher than the Daniel's canyon route and as a result the grades are longer and steeper. However, all grades can be negotiated easily, or at least The Tribune-Overland car found them easy. The country is heavily timbered with spruce and pine trees and water is plentiful. This is an ideal short day's run from Salt Lake for all parties par-ties wishing a camping Bite where camping and fishing conditions are ideal. The upper Provo river, Wolf creek and the west and north forks of the Duchesne offer fishing as good as can be found anywhere in the state. The trip to Duchesne by the Stockmore road and return by the Strawberry dam road will offer a good week's fishing. The roads as a whole are satisfactory and the only bad places encountered are where work gangs are busy improving improv-ing tho roads. Strip maps for the round trip from Salt Lake will be found in this issue of The Tribune. |
