99.4 miles, 8284’ vertical  Same as the Blue until Bug Lake, when it heads to Randolph. You’ll see pretty much every ecosystem in Utah except salt flats. Starts in the creek bottom in Left Hand Fork and rises up to the ridges. Mountain valleys covered in sagebrush, climbs through Aspen groves, then down through sandy redrock mesas to Randolph along New Canyon Road. Road into Randolph is rolling and fast fast fast. Get a burger at Crawford’s Trough on Main St. (they have vegan and gluten-free options, too) and then head back to the reservoir for the insanely long climb up Monte Cristo, with 15 miles of sustained climbing from sage all the way to evergreen alpine ecosystems with stretches hitting 20% grade. It will murder you and then laugh about it. No resupply except at Randolph. There’s a functioning convenience store and Crawford’s. The descent from the top of Monte Cristo to Hardware is fast and rowdy.  Stuff to know: beware big water traps. Bring knobs. Make sure your brake pads are up to snuff, because it’s a loooong way down from the top of Monte Cristo. Also, the Asparagus Spears at Crawford Trough are to die for. Make sure you bring bug spray, because the mosquitoes on Old Canyon Road are fierce and you won’t be moving fast enough to avoid them.
