Dispersed Camping in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest

Forest Road 024 in Logan Canyon, Utah on Google Maps:

Campsite

If you are going to an area where others have camped before, pick a site that's been used before. Plants, soil and wildlife are impacted by new campsites, so using existing ones will minimize your impact on the forest. If there is no existing campsite, then follow these Leave No Trace guidelines:

Camp on bare soil if possible, to avoid damaging or killing plants and grass.
Do not camp within 100 feet of any water source, plants near water are especially fragile. (We recommend 200 feet)

Don't camp in the middle of a clearing or meadow, try to make your campsite less visible so that other visitors will see a "wild" setting.

Don't try to level or dig trenches in the ground at your campsite. Select a campsite with good natural drainage.

Try to use existing tracks and existing dispersed sites whenever possible to minimize impacts.

Campfires

Many wildfires are caused by human activity, typically escaped campfires from dispersed campers. Campfires are allowed when you are dispersed camping unless there are fire restrictions in effect due to high fire danger conditions. It is your responsibility to know if fire restrictions are in effect before you go camping.

Campfire Tips:

Use camp stoves to help conserve ground cover resources. The animals, insects and micro-organisms in the soil need downed, rotting wood to survive.

Use existing fire rings if they exist. Minimize the scarring of new rocks, soil and plants by using existing fire rings.

Select a site that is not in a meadow or clearing, that is not next to a tree with low, overhanging branches, that is at least 200 feet from any water source to protect fragile vegetation.

Clear an area and make a ring of rocks about 2 feet in diameter.
If you don't bring your own firewood, collect only dead and downed wood that is on the ground. You should not cut branches off of live trees. If a popular camping area does not have dead and downed wood, bring your own firewood or use a camp stove.

Never leave a campfire unattended...

ABOUT ME:
► I grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan and graduated with a Marketing degree from Oakland University in Rochester, MI.
► I moved to Longmont, CO in November 2016 and fell in love with all the beautiful hiking trails that Colorado has to offer. So, the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show (an outdoor nature VLOG) was born in April 2017. Slowly, but surely my channel began to grow…
► In November 2019, I took a 4-month camping trip in my pop-up camper. This gave me an opportunity to travel, explore, unwind, and create lots of great videos.
► Then, in December 2020, I began recording a series of downhill skiing videos in Colorado. These quickly became popular and my passion for YouTube was sparked once again!
► I actually had so many great memories of my first camping trip that I decided to do another one. So, in April 2021, I converted a 12-foot enclosed trailer into a camper and documented the whole process.
► In June 2021, I finally reached 1,000 subscribers and was able to monetize my channel.
► By August 2022, I was already at 1,600 subscribers and counting!
► The Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show allows me to share all of my experiences with you. Join me on my adventure as I talk about life, laughter, exploration, and creating content for YouTube...enjoy!

I'm a local to Cache Valley, Logan Canyon has a lot of beautiful spots to camp in. Fly fishing is also an incredible time. Were you just checking out the Valley? Or are you a local as well?

We love our cargo conversion. We can go into places that a lot of other larger RVs can't do. That being said. We want to do some overlanding so we're thinking of building out our h3 for that. I want so bad to do a Utah trip, but the places we want to go or might end up won't likely be cargo friendly. We want the ability to access those places we can't with our cargo trailer. Thanks very much for showing us this road. And telling us the FR number. We appreciate that kind of information in the videos we watch!!!

Thanks for the video! (But get that potty away from the water!😬)

Looks great!!! Here's a question... how does your Impreza compare to the Crosstrek that you had before? For example, is it more room and towing capacity v ground clearance? :) That Crosstrek was superb in the snow :)

[nickhyatt]

does Logan canyon close for winters? if so when do they open

[tymom]

Think my sequoia has 11" clearance 👏

Please don't wash dishes directly in the river, if everyone did it could really harm the ecosystem.
