One of northern Utah’s most scenic drives is the Mirror Lake Highway. Multiple people go missing every year in the surrounding national forest, but only two of those people have never been found. Their cases are 13 years apart, but have similar circumstances. Despite extensive and prompt search efforts, they have never been located. 

If you have any information on either of these cases, contact the Summit County Sheriff’s Office at 435-615-3600.
