About Wearyman Road #747

This rugged dirt road starts at Shrine Pass Road 709 and ends at Resolution Road 702 near the top of Ptarmigan Pass. It has several creek crossings and rocky sections requiring a high-clearance 4WD vehicle. There are panoramic views at the top of Ptarmigan Pass, where the much easier Resolution Road 702 then descends down to Camp Hale.
