The benchmark is set in the top of the southwest end of the southeast side of the State Highway 150 bridge over the Bear River. I recommend parking at the entrance to the Stillwater Campground at N40 52.350 W110 50.024 and walking southwest along the edge of the highway. Be very wary of traffic along the highway! Weekdays are generally less crowded and a better time to visit this mark; weekends can be crowded and will require increased caution (where your high-vis!). This portion of the highway is closed in winter, but one can still reach the benchmark via snow machine or walking in on the road from the parking near the Bear River Lodge to the north.
