Utah by-way in the Autumn

[BlackRockArt]

Hi y'all

Has anybody travelled along the Alpine Loop, Byway 12, and the Flaming Gorge-Uintas Scenic Byways? What are the road conditions like in the late October ? Do I need to bring snowchains ? I am thinking of going there sometime, any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve driven Utah SR 12 a couple times in January a few years ago and encountered a snowstorm on Boulder Mountain above 6000 feet of elevation. I’m guessing snow is less likely in October, but it couldn’t hurt to bring your chains anyway.

That’s such a cool road with little traffic. You’ll have a blast.

You never know, but I doubt there would be any snow in late October.

You could encounter early season snow storms at altitude around late October but it would be quite rare for it to stick.

I would think that good snow tires would be adequate if you're used to driving in snow.
