Welcome to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
The majestic peaks and rugged backcountry of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest lie within easy reach of one of the wests fastest growing metropolitan areas. Encompassing nearly 2.1 million ecologically-diverse acres, including seven Wilderness areas, the Forest is one of the most frequently visited in the nation. From skiing in world-renown powder to cruising the scenic highways or picnicking on a lazy afternoon, Uinta-Wasatch-Cache has just about something for everyone.

Temporary Road Closures
Construction on the lower Franklin Basin Bridge is now complete and the road is open to through traffic, until snow levels make it impassable to all vehicles. When there is sufficient snow base the road will then be open to over snow machines.
The Temple Fork Road (Forest Road #20007) remains closed for public safety, as crews continue to work on the lower bridge replacement, which should be completed in early December.
