After more than a year and a half of behind-the-scenes work, the future of one of the Wasatch’s most iconic backcountry zones is no longer in limbo.

Outdoor recreation is a cornerstone of Utah's economy and culture. "That’s why it’s concerning to see deep cuts to the agencies that help keep these landscapes open and accessible." - Dani Poirier, Director of @WasatchBCAlli
