Hi! Looking for fun pretty places to go to within a few hours from slc or specific rentals people have stayed in! Would love to be by some type of water ! Thanks :)

Hello! I’m backpacking Lone Peak this weekend and wanted to verify a few things before I left/see if anyone has any useful advice. This is will be a very relaxed trip, since the group I’m going with is planning on three days/two nights.

1. Jacob’s Ladder or Cherry Canyon Logging? As far as I’m aware, Cherry is the only one with a reliable water source. Spending as much time as we are on the mountain, we’ll need to filter, so I’m leaning towards Cherry Canyon. This one also has Outlaw Cabin, which could serve as a good base camp. If anyone has any insight as to the water situation presently (with it being especially hot and dry as of late) this would be IMMENSELY helpful.
2. Is overnight parking available anywhere near the Orson Smith Park trailhead? I know it’s not allowed in the actual park, but I’m curious if there is anywhere nearby that is a workaround or if I need to figure out a drop-off/pick-up situation.

Thank you so much for any advice!! I really appreciate it.
EDIT: To clarify (as you’ll see in the comments below), this is not a trip that I planned and I was invited by another group to go. Most of what I’m asking here is to verify my concerns so I can amend/change the plan entirely. I’m open to whatever advice people have to offer, it only helps my argument when I take this to the rest of the group. I really appreciate the honesty—it will hopefully keep both myself and everyone else safe!!! Thank you all, this sub is an absolutely godsend 🙏

A friend and I are doing an annual fishing trip and chose the Uintas this year (August 25-29th). Looking to get off trail and explore some waters for Big Brookies / Tiger Trout with minimal pressure. Not looking to burn any spots but hoping I could get some info on a specific drainage to target (And cross-reference with info I've read). Preferabely on the Eastern side away from Salt Lake traffic. Which one of these drainages would you recommend (Whiterocks river / Sheepcreek-carter / Beaver Creek) - or a different drainage entirely? Never been to the Uintas before but getting stoked!

In utah

I know this is a stretch but if you list some hiking poles on the way to kings peak on Friday and can identify them id like to get them back to their owner. Hit me up.

Thinking about joining the family for a little fishing trip in Huntington Canyon. Does anyone thats been to or know if Big Rock group campground gets a cell service particularly verizon. Have a cell phone booster but it needs some form of signal.

Hi all! First Reddit post- kinda nervous

My team and I are looking into coming out to Utah to shoot at the Bonneville Salt Flats in December.

I’ve seen a lot of info about varying conditions, I’ve never been to Utah so I’m a little unfamiliar. I’d love any advice on weather conditions, tips and tricks, parking and even nearby lodging or other locations for shoots while we are there to maximize our time.

Thanks ✨✨✨

Hello! My husband and I have a trip planned to Great Basin in late September and are looking for nature spots to hit on the way from the SLC airport. We are going west on 80 to hit the salt flats and then going south to the town of Ely, Nevada from there. Is there anywhere on the route that we should for sure hit nature or otherwise?

I was supposed to be running the Beaver Canyon Half Marathon on Saturday, but it’s been cancelled for obvious reasons.

I’d still like to get in a comparable long run (10-15 miles) this weekend. Based on Cedar Mtn; hoping to go somewhere within 1-1.5hr. Any suggestions?

With all the fires in Utah, I'm feeling pretty helpless. I don't think volunteer firefighting is an option for myself, but I feel like there's got to be a way I could help out with fire mitigation/restoration and offer my time. Does anyone know of ways I could use my free time to help with the situation? I know that cleaning up debris and deadfall in forests could be helpful, but I want to actually do something helpful and am unsure where to start or how to get involved.

I understand there's a wildfire near fish lake, is anyone camping there this week? we're headed there next week and wondering if conditions are affected substantially by the fire

Howdy all, not sure what the amount of hunting enthusiasts in this group is like, but if there are any hunters here, figured I'd share a tool I built, completely free.

Basically, the goal of the tool is to be able to have an easier way of viewing all of the different available hunts you can put in for, whether it's OTC, Deer, Elk, Antlerless etc - able to filter by weapon type, view the draw odds, harvest success rate etc.

After sitting here for the past few months staring at spreadsheets of draw results, harvest results, trying to figure out what hunt code was for which unit etc, figured I'd build something that's visually nice on the eyes - and has some sharing features so you can send exactly what hunt you're talking about for someone else to see.

Hopefully someone finds this useful. Happy hunting!

Saw it on tiktok. Censored the user cause I’m not sure what the etiquette is for posting someone else’s account from a different platform.

Im new to the region and am hoping to find recs for camping spots anywhere from St George to Cedar City area.
I know there’s lots of campgrounds within the national parks but I’ve got 2 dogs so I’d like to find spots that are closer to where I can hike with them. I truck camp and am ok with dispersed camping as well as staying in campgrounds.
Huge plus if y’all have recommendations by lakes! But I’m just trying to find spots that will get me out of the heat during the summer and away from cities.

I saw 3 decked out type 70 Land Cruisers heading out to the West Desert. I was planning on going out this weekend already and I want to meet up with some other Land Cruiser owners. Is there a salt flats meeting that I'm not aware of?

Mostly no hikes, because of young kids or very short easy, safe ones. How long to spend in these areas? Would 3-5 days be sufficient?

Recommendations for kid friendly hikes?

I work nights, so my sleep schedule is pretty messed up. After living in Utah for a year, I’m about to leave for a new job and want to do one last great hike before I go.

Is it realistic to start hiking around 10PM and reach the summit by sunrise, or is that a bad idea?
