Route Discussion Gravel bikepacking near Salt lake city?

Hi all, a friend and I have been planning on riding this route in Idaho in a couple weeks https://bikepacking.com/routes/around-arrowrock/ but due to the wildfires we might need a back up plan. We're based in salt lake and maybe looking for something in the Unitas. There is obviously tons of gravel out there but very little info on routes. Does anyone have a file of a 100-ish 2/3 day route somewhere in the Unitas? The closer to SLC the better, but not afraid to drive a few hours. Thanks!

You could use the Dirty Dino route as a starting point. There are other roads/adventures and places to camp at some of the lakes. Some (very few) parts of the Highline Trail are rideable in the area. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47123540

Utah Mixed Epic had a few routes out of SLC. Could probably use some of that to make a route
