There is usually slight traffic in this part of town, even though the island is one of Utah's best locations. Get on your electric bike and see all there is to see. Abandon your bike pedal if you get tired, and switch to assist. Remember to look out for the 500-plus bison that populate the island, together with even more bighorn sheep, bobcats, badgers, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope.

Nebo stands as the highest mountain in Wasatch, the Yuba State Park has a lake situated in a desert and various formations of the red earth structure.

About 3 miles from the opening climb, a scenic shot of Mt. Nebo stands right behind you, and the weather makes it all the more picturesque.
