Overview

Rolling through the mountains of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is a popular trail known as Soapstone Basin. This well-traveled route is known for being a quick getaway from the summer heat of the city, providing ample opportunities to set up camp among the trees or take a walk down one of the many hiking trails that the Uintas has to offer. At an elevation of just over 9,000 feet, this trail will allow you to breathe in the cool, refreshing air while listening to the breeze whisper through the trees. Although it is a popular trail, it doesn't take much to find yourself a little campsite tucked away among the trees so you can enjoy your own little slice of mountain paradise.
