CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Hwy 264 East

Ride 4.6 miles gaining 1,391’ at 5.7% average grade.

Hwy 264 is part of the Energy Loop: Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byway, a route renowned for its sweeping high-alpine views, including vistas of Mount Nebo and the San Rafael Swell136. The byway traverses some of Utah’s most beautiful and underappreciated landscapes, passing through Flat Canyon, Boulger Canyon, and Upper Huntington Canyon6. The area near Scofield is also notable for its mining heritage, including the site of the tragic Scofield Mine disaster of 1900, one of the deadliest mining accidents in U.S. history.

Climb summary by PJAMM Ambassador Bruce Hamilton.

The Hwy 264 climb, sometimes referred to as Scofield Mine Road, is a short but scenic and quiet ascent in a largely unpopulated area of central Utah. The climb begins just south of the town of Scofield, where the road makes a 90-degree turn and transitions from Hwy 96 to Hwy 264. For the first part of the climb, a covered conveyor belt or cart track runs alongside the road, reflecting the area’s active mining history—the mine was operational during our ride. As you continue, the road winds up through a series of switchbacks, leaving the mining activity behind for a peaceful and picturesque ascent to the summit. The descent is enjoyable, with almost no traffic due to the region’s isolation. While not a particularly difficult climb by PJAMM standards, it’s a rewarding ride if you’re in the area.

Thank you Bruce Hamilton and Stacy Topping!!
