    it's not a normal route, i don't recall seeing any trucks when i took it the one and only time.

    i'd look for another route though.

    where you headed?

    stick to the interstate, you'll get there much faster, less hassle. then trying to take that route.

    there's also construction in your last canyon of your trip. i wouldn't even be considering that road.

    stay on the 80 to 15/84 up through ogden. take first exit past perry port. exit 362, swing up sardine canyon, and when you get to the other side, somewhere will be a road to take you right into hyrum. much faster.

    It's ok. I'd stick with i25 instead. You can go 80 mph and like snowwy mentions the last leg of the route is a PITA (that connects to i25)
