ElevationPerched at an impressive 7,500 feet above sea level, this mountain aerie offers a refreshing escape from summer's heat. The thin mountain air carries the scent of pine and wildflowers, while panoramic alpine vistas stretch endlessly before you, revealing the raw beauty of Utah's high country.
Natural Features and SceneryA tapestry of evergreen conifers and quaking aspens creates nature's own cathedral, offering dappled shade throughout the day and a spectacular golden display come fall. In summer, the forest floor erupts in a painter's palette of wildflowers—Indian paintbrush, lupine, and columbine—transforming meadows into vibrant natural gardens that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Geological RegionThis remarkable campground rests within a natural alpine basin, carved by ancient glaciers into the heart of the majestic Wasatch Mountains. The surrounding landscape tells a story millions of years in the making, where mixed forests of stately conifers and dancing aspens have claimed the mountainsides, creating a diverse ecosystem that changes dramatically with each season.
