Overview

The Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah are home to over one thousand lakes, hundreds of miles of streams, and endless camping opportunities. This gem of an area lies just over an hour from Salt Lake and has services nearby to supply your adventure whether it is just a day or extended out for a week. While only accessible for a few months out of the year, there is more than enough land for everyone to spread out and enjoy. Even on the busy weekends, you can find yourself some peace and quiet. If you have never visited the Uinta Mountains, be sure to add it to your bucket list and get out on one of the hundreds of forest roads webbing throughout the land.
