Offroad Trails in The Uinta Mountains

A Region within Utah
3.7/5 (97)

Tucked up in the Northeast corner of Utah is a mountain range that reaches breathtaking heights. The Uinta Mountains aren’t just a picturesque snow-covered range that can be viewed from afar. This mountain range is scattered with offroad trails, making it accessible to all.

The region is home to peaks ranging from 11,000 feet all the way up to 13,500 feet above sea level, making it the highest mountain range in all of Utah. The Uinta Mountains are lush with alpine forests including pine, spruce, cottonwood and maple trees. The forests are contrasted by beautiful fields of mountain flowers such as lupine, poppy and primrose. Feeding all the plant life are boundless lakes and streams waiting to be fished or kayaked.

Nature this pristine sounds too good to be true. But with a vast offroad trail system consisting of easy to moderate trails, the Uinta Mountains are accessible to almost any high-clearance 4wd vehicle. The trail system can make for a great weekend getaway or can be strung together to create a full week of adventure and exploration.

The Uinta Mountains are known for their incredible dispersed camping options. Find your own epic campsite in the middle of a dense pine forest, next to a flowing creek, or overlooking a serene alpine lake. For those who prefer a few amenities to make their off-the-grid weekend more comfortable, there are also improved campgrounds. These typically have room for trailers and include potable water, fire rings, picnic tables, and bathrooms.
