    I have not measured height, but it is lower than my cab. I do have a slightly longer wheelbase on my truck. It's just structural steel

    Lol, I've seen them too. They seem to have nice equipment for a smaller company...

    Yeah that is Chalk Creek Road. It's open year-round.

    But if you're eastbound get off at the 193 (Wahsatch exit) and go south. It's a little less than five miles of graded gravel road. Turn left at the blacktop two lane and go three miles and you'll be at exit 3 in Evanston.

    DON'T do it in the winter. They don't plow that road.
     
    cke and Ruthless Thank this.

    I’ve been on that one too, loaded cattle at that set of pens that sits on the west side of the road. Seems like the road got worse past those pens last time I loaded out there.

    My wife's parents used to live right there until the house burned down in 05.

    We still load there every fall.

    The one time I loaded there they were doing the wagon train deal so there were a ton of people around. It was pretty neat.
