Just outside Midway, Homestead Drive curves to the west at the entrance of Wasatch Mountain State Park.

At this point, State Route 222 turns right onto Warm Springs Road to continue north, taking a jog to the east to skirt the east edge of the golf course on the state park (staying on Homestead westward is the route of former SR-220).

As it passes the golf course, the route merges with Pine Canyon Road and resumes its northward direction, passing the Wasatch Mountain State Park Campground as it begins to climb out of the valley and follow Pine Creek into the foothills of the eastern Wasatch Range.

[4] The remainder of the road, which is closed in the winter and not designated as part of the state route, continues north to meet with other roads that provide access to Park City in Summit County via SR-224 to the north over Empire Pass, and Brighton in Salt Lake County via SR-190 to the west via Guardsman Pass.

The southern portion of SR-222 was initially designated as Utah State Route 224 in 1941, running from SR-113 in Midway north to Schneitter's Hot Pots, now the Homestead Resort.
