Stay (L) at the fork and
*Go very slowly to the left because there will be a sharp (R) turn and a steep downgrade with one hairpin turn!!
From the T you will go about 2.5 miles (This is very approximate since Barbara forgot to give us the mileage here. Oops, Sorry!) Go over a tiny bridge and you will enter an area with Pine trees on both sides of the road; a very bumpy road here.
(R) Turn on Blacks Forks River Access Area a paved road……. Yeah - Highway # 271 (the paved road is only for a short distance then back to gravel. The route changes numbers here to 768 so do not worry about the numbers just look for a white sign that says: Uinta County Youth Camp 11 miles
and you know your on the right road
Off to the sides of this road you may see the Wyoming state flower, which is the Indian Paint Brush.
If you want the easy way to get to the site with less dirt roads and more mileage:
