Alamo Road Southbound -- Sheep Pass to Hidden Forest Road
Alamo Road, so named because it connects Corn Creek Field Station in the south with the town of Alamo in the north, is a bumpy, 70-mile dirt road that runs north along the west side of the Sheep Range until crossing over near the northern terminus. Perhaps not surprisingly, this road is also called Old Corn Creek Road because, from the northern perspective, it connects Alamo with Corn Creek.
Alamo road was closed some 40 miles out because of road conditions, so to visit the north end, drivers had to drive north on Highway 93 almost to Alamo, and then drive back south on Alamo Road. However, the road is now open all the way from Highway 95 to Highway 93.
