Climbing Highway 31 westwards from Fairview takes you on a long, scenic ascent over the high Wasatch Plateau towards the Huntington Canyon summit area. Prepare for a sustained 18-20 mile climb gaining over 3,700ft, reaching altitudes near 9,700ft. This climb is moderate with gradients averaging around 4-5% but with sections at the start hitting 6-8%. As you wind steadily upwards through the canyons you'll be treated to beautiful aspen and conifer forests.

This is one of the great Utah plateau crossings: the Wasatch Plateau via Eccles and Huntington Canyons. The scenically most interesting part extends down to Huntington on the east side, which is quite a bit further east than the highlighted section. "Hwy 31 west" is not right. If anything it is east from Fairview. But the Huntington side is actually better, less stark. Here are some more pictures and words: cyclepass.com/t_put_Hunt_Fair_u.html
