This watershed is supremely important
to nearby Salt Lake City, providing citizens with sixty percent
of the water they consume. Wasatch-Cache was established to protect
the outlying portions, keeping them safe from expansion and commercialism.
About one million acres are under the visage of the National Forest
System, stretching up and through the western United States. Much
of the land is restricted to travel on foot, in order to shield
the delicate ecosystems therein. The land ranges from thick, mountainous
regions to flat, low-lying river basins, both flourishing with
native wildlife.
Recreation here is almost too expansive to list; Wasatch-Cache
is one of the largest and most diverse National Forests in existence.
The border has recently been split between Idaho and Utah, but
technically, the protected land has no real borders.
For endless opportunities and scenes uniquely Utahan, brave Wasatch-Cache
on your next westward adventure. |
