Distance: 36 miles
Time: 44 minutes
Start: Ute
End: Sloan
Heading out of Ute, you will head straight north while following alongside the Soldier River Cutoff. When you reach the town of Mapleton, you should be able to hang out with other motorcyclists and get a good drink at the Hawkeye Bar.
After you get to Smithland, you should be able to spy on the Oak Ridge Conservation Area. As you continue west along the highway, you will make out the Owego Wetland on your right-hand side.
Because of how short the route is and that it travels through a quieter region of Iowa, your surroundings will mainly be farmland full of fields of corn and beans.
