Box-Death Hollow Wilderness

Box-Death Hollow Wilderness is a 25,706-acre federally protected wilderness area in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. This is primitive backcountry where motorized travel, mechanized equipment, and roads are prohibited—the defining character of designated Wilderness. Visitors come here for hiking, backpacking, and the solitude that comes with traveling on foot through undeveloped terrain.

Access requires leaving vehicles behind and traveling by human power only. All visitors must practice Leave No Trace principles: pack out what you pack in, camp on durable surfaces, and respect the wilderness character that makes the area worth protecting. The reality of Wilderness travel is self-reliance—you are responsible for navigation, safety, and minimal-impact practices. Winter conditions can be severe; spring and fall bring unpredictable weather. Summer offers the most reliable access, though afternoons can bring thunderstorms. Come prepared for isolation, variable conditions, and the requirement to move through the landscape with minimal trace.
