The Clear
Lake segment of the Lyndyll Sub has some rather interesting features that could
be fun to explore. For areas between Read and Bloom, the line passes through
rolling hills and gently sloped valleys with a few shallow cuts to get the line
through. I always seem to be in a big hurry passing through here so I
don't explore like I'd like to, but needless to say there are locations here
that deserve more attention. For the rest of the segment, this might be the most accessible portion of the
entire sub in terms of following it from paved roads.
For miles the line runs within a few hundred feet of Utah Rte 257 and has numerous
places to pull off. Coupled with the lack of road traffic, this route makes for
some of the best high speed pacing available that I am aware of. Literally 40
miles or more can be run here with little or no thought of traffic or other
worries. This is a great place to be all by your lonesome and just follow a
train.
