💡 Camping Tip of the Month

Never count on finding water.

Most dispersed camping areas in Utah have no potable water and very little shade. We typically recommend carrying at least five gallons of water per person for a weekend trip, especially during the warmer months.

Before leaving home:

• Download offline maps.

• Check current fire restrictions.

• Arrive before sunset.

• Tell someone where you're going.

Those four simple steps can make the difference between a relaxing trip and a stressful one.
