Map of the
Wasatch-Cache National Forest |
A sample from my Wasatch Collection |
Like
most of this website, this section is segmented by geography. While my travels have
only led me to a small piece of this range, my goal is explore all of it. The Wasatch Range, home perhaps
to the single greatest collection of mountain peaks, begins abruptly where
the valley ends, rising almost 7,000 feet above the valley floor to heights
ranging from 10,000 to 11,877 feet. Encompassing two National Forests,
the Wasatch-Cache and Uinta, the range extends over 300 miles
from Tremonton in the north to Nephi in the south. Seven
Federally-classified Wilderness Areas, comprising 165,000 square acres (258
square miles), are small
as compared to the millions available but important and staggeringly beautiful nonetheless.
They represent freedom from the city and are an outdoor enthusiast's
playground. |
