Back To The Primeval For those who seek to get a-way a-way from the "beaten path"; for those who would reach a place rich in big timber and glorious with spectacular canyons; for those who love blue lakes and great meadows, lush with deep grass and resplendent with wild flowers this writer suggests the "Skyline Drive". Little known to the general public, yet readily accessible to the motor vacationist, vacation-ist, Sanpete, Carbon, Utah and Emery Counties offer a vacation area unexcelled in the entire state. Fifty miles in length, entirely en-tirely virgin, this mountain paradise par-adise is the highest and supports the longest scenic road in the state. The road traverses the Manti National Forest area and follows the high ridges and peaks of the monstrous mountain range which separates highways 89 and 50. The average altitude oi tne bKyime unve is iu.uuu feet. Unimproved, yet permitting car speeds of 35 to 50 miles per hour, this little known Drive is well marked and easily approachable ap-proachable fron either highway 89 or 50. Entirely Virgin The chief charm of the area lies in the fact that it is entirely virgin. While numerous canyon roads lead to the Drive and offer splendid camp grounds with national forest improvements, the Skyline Drive as yet is untouched un-touched by signs of human habitation. habit-ation. No piles of tin cans, dead campfire embers, or regular debris so common to many well traveled vacation lanes are seen, and the traveler has an appreciable appreci-able sense of being far, far away from his fellowmen, and into a virgin wilderness just as God made it. |
