October 29, 2011 The Duchesne River is holy, and it travels through sacred ground. I’m not saying this because a nice chunk of it is on Ute Indian land; oh no its holiness lies deeper. Everything about this river is blessed. Ok, maybe it has its teeny tiny flays but who doesn’t?
For starters driving from Salt Lake you can take U.S. 40 or you can take Wolf Creek Pass. Driving 40, you go through Park City, then Up Daniels, past Strawberry Reservoir and through flat desert land. It’s a perfect drive, the scenery keeps shifting, and it’s less than two hours.
If you select Wolf Creek, you get to wind through some of Utah’s finest high mountain terrain—pines, peaks and aspens. At the top of the pass you have Hanna and Tabby, both quaint, rolling hills farm community. The place is crawling with deer, hawks and hound dogs. When you fish the river you have a great view of Mount Tabby.

If I had to pick on one of those tiny little flaws, it would be the water clarity change; at times the river can get murky. First of all it’s a free stone river, and those rolling grass hills have a lot of cows grazing on them. The river bottom has this clay like brown mud that when it’s kicked up, it can really stay in the water.
