Plan Your Trip
Camping
Dispersed camping on public land with no amenities. Bring all the water you will need since there is no reliable source in the area.
Many miles of canyons and tributaries make natural travel ways. In places it is the numerous game and cow trails that allow access through the otherwise impenetrable vegetation. Water and campsites are abundant. Hiking and camping, hunting and fishing, cross-country skiing and snow shoeing are popular here. The major canyons provide many hiking routes which vary in distance and difficulty.
Getting There
