The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is a sprawling natural area primarily located in Utah, with only small sections extending into Idaho and Wyoming. It encompasses over 2.1 million acres of diverse landscapes ranging from high alpine ecosystems to hardwood forests.

Established on July 1, 1908, the forest's main features include rugged mountain ranges such as the Wasatch Mountains and parts of the High Uintas Range-the latter being home to Kings Peak, Utah's highest point at 13,528 feet above sea level. The region offers abundant recreational opportunities including hiking trails like those found around Bear Lake-a popular destination for its turquoise waters-and numerous campgrounds that cater to outdoor enthusiasts year-round.

While most well-known areas are within Utah's borders-such as Mount Timpanogos or Lone Peak Wilderness Areas-it should be noted that specific details about any distinct features present in the smaller Wyoming portion may not be widely documented due to their relatively minor presence compared with other regions of this national forest.
