From SLC head south on I-15 to Exit 222 in Nephi and turn left onto S Main Street / SR 28. Continue south 9 miles to Levan. Bear left in downtown Levan to continue south on SR 28. At 3.6 miles (just past the blue and white dairy barns on your right) turn left onto the dirt road and pass through a chained but unlocked gate into the Deep Creek Wildlife Management Area. Follow the dirt 2-track utility road southeast. The road starts out on flat public land, passes through gates across private land, and continues up a narrow draw back onto public land. You will gain 2700 feet in elevation between the first gate and the summit. The road eventually climbs steep grades through half a dozen switchbacks. At 4.4 miles, you’ve reached the parking area for the West Launch. To reach the East Launch, continue up the hill. Pass the lower antenna farm at a sharp right-hand turn.
