Wolf Creek Summit Star Party Travel Directions
DIRECTIONS FROM SLC
Take I-80 East (past Park City exit) to Exit 148. (Rt. 40 East). Stay to the right on the exit, as it splits. Head East on Rt. 40 to Exit 4. At the bottom of the exit ramp, go left towards Kamas. Follow this road as it winds through the hills to Kamas. In Kamas there is a stop sign at the intersection of this road and Rt. 32. Go right (South) on Rt. 32. Take Rt. 32 several miles to the intersection with Rt. 35 in Francis. See below for directions from Francis.
DIRECTIONS FROM UTAH COUNTY
Go up Provo Canyon either by going East on 8th North in Orem or by taking University Avenue North in Provo. Go past Deer Creek Reservoir and when you get to the stop light in Heber turn Left (North). Go all the way thru Heber. As you approach the Jordanelle Dam there will be a signal light. Turn right at the light and go several miles to Francis.
DIRECTIONS FROM Francis
When you get to Francis there will be a flashing light at the intersection. If you are coming from Provo, go straight (East). If you are coming from Kamas, turn left and go East. In about 3 1/2 miles you will go through a little community called Woodland. Continue on for another 16 miles (+ a little) to the summit of Wolf Creek Pass. You will see a sign for the Wolf Creek campground on your right. Go thru the campground on a dirt road. It is a little rutty at first. Continue on about 2 miles heading south, until you reach a "T" intersection. Turn Left and go past the "Dead End" sign .8 miles. There is a beautiful wide grassy area to the right.
Remember to dress WARMLY! We cannot emphasize this enough. Dress like you want to go
night skiing and you might be comfortable. Hats, gloves, and warm boots are smart
year-round. Keep in mind that you can always leave extra stuff in the car, but if you don't
have enough layers, you'll be sorry!
Please use good star party etiquette; dim headlights
if arriving after dark, and be sure to bring red
lights for wandering between scopes, etc. so you don't
spoil dark-adapted eyes.
Children of all ages are welcome as long as they are supervised and respectful; telescopes and eyepieces can be expensive!
