The USDA Forest Service also has a specific order which prohibits camping alongside the roadway on Forest Land. Visit the Uinta Wasatch-Cache National Forest Salt Lake Ranger District website for campground status updates. There are seasons during which designated campgrounds in Big Cottonwood Canyon (Spruces, Jordan Pines, Redman) and Little Cottonwood Canyon (Tanners Flat and Albion Basin) are open and closed. Overnight parking in the town outside of these areas is prohibited. There are three designated overnight parking areas in the Town of Alta, Utah. Avalanche danger is high in Little Cottonwood Canyon so there are locations where any parking is not allowed during the winter. This order is effective 100% of the time.
Overnight camping/car camping/sleeping in your parked car overnight in a vehicle is prohibited within 1/2 mile of any road in the Cottonwood Canyons, with exception to designated campgrounds due to Salt Lake City Public Utilities watershed regulations. Where overnight parking is designated and allowed, camping is not. Overnight parking is when you leave your car parked overnight while you are in the backcountry (backpacking, peak scrambling, etc.) or inside a building (hotel/lodge). Making a difference one Journey at a time. We’re continuously working on making us better, more inclusive, and more equitable. But more than benefits alone is how we come together across many roles, tenures, and backgrounds to take care of our people. Overnight parking DOES NOT = overnight camping (sleeping overnight in a vehicle). And of course, we offer free rides on the UTA. Before planning an extended stay in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, make sure you are familiar with overnight parking and what is and what is not allowed at your destination.
