Sheep Creek/Spirit Lake Loop
 The Sheep Creek Loop branches off Hwy. 44 about 5 miles south of Manilla. It runs through the sheer, rugged canyon walls of Sheep Creek Canyon with dramatic views of the Uinta Fault. Spirit Lake Road is a spur road from the Sheep Creek Loop that leads through beautiful pine and aspen forests to pretty Spirit Lake high in the Uinta Mountains. The Sheep Creek Loop is mostly paved and runs 13 miles. Spirit Lake Road is a 17 mile graded gravel road and it does become washboarded in summer.
