Brigham City to Honeyville bike route, 20 miles

The old Honeyville Elementary School

I was visiting my parents in Brigham this week and decided to take a ride to Honeyville. I haven't been there in years. It's a small town (smaller than Brigham), but I had some friends who lived out there when I was younger.


Llama sighting, best part of the ride

I took Main Street, but I might recommend either 300 West or 200 East as a route through town with less traffic. Main Street will turn into Highway 69 around 900 North.


Downtown Honeyville

It's a straight shot to "downtown" Honeyville. I was going to ride all the way to Crystal Springs (an tiny, old water park) but they were re-tarring the road just past "downtown" so I opted to head back from there.

The route is basically flat. At most there's a 200 foot change in elevation from the highest to lowest points.

Safety

There's not a very big shoulder on the road. Also there are some big trucks that are carrying rocks or sand from a landfill.

I went when it was pretty hot too. Not too much shade. Bring enough water and wear sunblock.
