Wasatch-Cache National Forest, National forest in northern Utah, United States
The Wasatch-Cache National Forest extends across 1.6 million acres of mountains, valleys, and wilderness areas in northern Utah, southern Idaho, and southwestern Wyoming.
The United States Forest Service established the Wasatch Forest Reserve in 1906, combining it with Cache National Forest in 1973 to form the current protected area.
The forest name combines the Ute word Wasatch, meaning a low place in high mountains, with the French word Cache, used by early fur trappers in the region.
The forest maintains numerous campgrounds, trails, and facilities for year-round activities including hiking, skiing, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation across its territories.
Seven designated wilderness areas cover 309,000 acres within the forest, including the extensive High Uintas Wilderness spanning 456,705 acres of natural landscape.
