Northern
and Central Utah - 949,848 acres
The
Uinta National Forest offers an inspiring view, and the
promise of mountain recreation to the residents of cities
below. American Fork Canyon and Provo Canyon located in
the Uinta National Forest have an autumn mix of aspen
and pine. Between the two canyons lies the 10,750 acre
Timpanogos Wilderness. One paved drive full of rugged
mountain beauty and many stunning overlooks of surrounding
valleys can be found in the Uinta National Forest. In
autumn, the brilliant display of colors found on this
drive in Uinta National Forest is hard to match anywhere
in the nation.
This
loop in the Uinta National Forest begins at Payson City
and ends near the city of Nephi, and features numerous
campgrounds and recreation areas. Also located on this
route is the Devil's Kitchen Geologic Interest Sight,
which on a smaller scale, reminds many visitors of Bryce
Canyon National Park. The Nebo Loop features a number
of improved trail heads providing access into the spectacular
Mount Nebo Wilderness, popular for day hikes, backpacking
and horseback riding. In another part of the Uinta National
Forest, Strawberry Reservoir is a top trout fishing destination.
