The SLCA primarily operates within the Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest, encompassing areas from the Uintas and Logan to the Cottonwoods, American Fork, and extending into the Manti La Sal National Forest in Maple Canyon. While we are the local boots on the ground in the Wasatch, we also share our knowledge and experience with land managers and climbing organizations across the nation. Your involvement is crucial in helping us continue this vital work.
Rock climbing and trail use are inherently dangerous. Public access is provided under Utah’s Recreational Use Statute (Utah Code § 57-14). You voluntarily assume all risks, including injury or death, from hazards such as unmaintained trails, falling rock, failure of fixed climbing anchors, wildlife, and the actions of others. Conditions can change—use caution and obtain proper training.
