and follow roads or trails through a network of linked images.
In the northeast corner of Bear Lake County, North Canyon cuts into the Bear River Range of mountains. A dirt road wanders along the canyon, following North Creek. Forests of evergreens and quaking aspens cover the mountain sides. Willows and other bushes line the creek. Some south-facing slopes are barren of trees, where sagebrush fills the niche.
Sherman Peak stands above the forested slopes to the north, rising to 9,682 feet in elevation. A labyrinth of canyons, creeks and dirt roads criss-cross the mountains, lined with meadows and wildflowers. Eightmile Canyon cuts in on the north side, and Skinner Canyon assaults Sherman Peak from the east.
Eightmile Road climbs Eightmile Canyon, then crosses the mountains and ends at North Canyon Road. Skinner Canyon Road climbs its canyon and ends in the mountains north of Sherman Peak. Sherman Peak Road begins at an intersection on Skinner Creek Road, crosses near the peak, and descends to the head of Eightmile Canyon, crossing its road, and continuing west to Forest Service Route 402. Forest Service Route 402 begins on North Canyon Road, on the Caribou County side of the mountains, follows the top of the mountains northward and finally enters Bear Lake County and turns east to meet Eightmile Road.
Camping, hiking and four-wheeling are popular in North Canyon. Camp Bartlett, a Boy Scout Camp, is located in North Canyon.
