Worth a stop

Heading east from Kamas into the Uinta Mountains, through the Wasatch-Cache National Forest is the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. In addition to scenic viewpoints and picnic areas, numerous lakes and campgrounds line this high-mountain byway. Much of the journey parallels the Provo River. The byway climbs to an elevation of 10,687 feet at Bald Mountain Pass before descending past Mirror Lake, then to Bear River Ranger Station with its Historical Tie Hack Cabin. From here the route parallels the Bear River and on to Evanston. Recreational activities along the byway include camping, fishing, cross-country skiing, hiking, riding ATVs and snowmobiling.

Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

This campground sits inside Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.
