The Schoolhouse Rock Ride may be best on a mountain bike, as there is a lot of gravel road.  Starting at Depot Square follow Front Street south.  Front Street becomes Highway 150 south-bound when it leaves the City.  Most of the first half is very wide and allows bikes to move well away from the flow of traffic.  The highway follows the Bear River meadow and then the Hilliard flats where you can see a variety of wildlife and birds.  Watch for deer, fox, racoons, as well as the numerous wild birds, and a few dogs to provide exciting sprints.  The road passes the McGraw Fire Station and drops onto the meadow again.  At the 19½ mile mark the road makes a sweeping left hand turn.  At the beginning of the turn you make a right onto a graveled County Road.  Traveling one mile you reach an intersection where you make another right.  This road wind between farms and pastures before eventually reaching Highway 150 south again.  A left here will return you to Evanston. 



The Schoolhouse Rock Ride, named after the Plainview School once located at the intersection of the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway and County Road 150, is best experienced on a mountain bike. Improved gravel roads consume approximately one-fourth of the ride. 

Begin your ride at historic Depot Square and travel south along Front Street passing under Interstate 80.  From this point, the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway begins and continues south to Kamas, Utah.   Although the Byway is heavily traveled by motorists from Spring to Fall, a wide shoulder width provides refuge for the cyclist.  Approximately 19.5 miles south of Evanston, the Byway makes a sweeping turn to the left and continues south.  Along this curve, turn right onto County Road 150.  Located immediately to the south of this intersection is the site of the Plainview School.  Although this site is now privately owned, remnants of the foundation may be viewed from the road.  Continue riding west along County Road 150 for approximately 1 mile and turn right onto County Road 157.  County Road 157 extends north through the Bear River valley and reconnects to the Byway.  A left turn at the Byway returns you to Evanston.  Watch for deer, fox, raccoon, as well as a variety of birds.  Beware, occasional canine encounters may provide exciting sprints.
