Description: The northern end of Wasatch is at a parking lot on the south side of I-80 at the entrance to Parleys Canyon. The southern end is at 11650 south and 1700 east in Draper.
Comments: One of the best roads to ride down in the valley. Very popular. I often combine sections of Wasatch into other rides.

I love Wasatch Blvd. The shoulder is nice, it's challenging without being too much for just a quick ride. Ride any section or the whole thing. You can even keep going north across I-80 and pick up Wasatch Dr.

Wasatch is always a favorite for me. Light traffic, great view of the valley, and a decent road.. even with the recent chip and seal treatment at the northern end! I prefer heading South as it makes for easy rollers from great downhill momentum and a fast downhill to 1700 East at the end.

Wasatch Blvd is a great ride with wonderful scenery and a number of additional alternatives. You can take one of the Cottonwood Canyons up for a Mountain workout, or you can continue north of I-80 onto Foothill and ride up to Emigration Canyon or the University of Utah.

One of the funnest rides I have been on, I got up to 48 MPH on that last downhill. Only only problem is the road is rough in some areas but this is a very small issue.
