Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area

Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area spans over 104,000 acres of federally protected backcountry in Utah, managed by the Bureau of Land Management as a designated Wilderness. The landscape is primitive and undeveloped, open only to non-motorized travel on foot or horseback. This is a true wilderness experience—no roads, no motors, no mechanized equipment of any kind are permitted.

Hiking and backpacking are the primary ways to explore Cedar Mountain. The area offers genuine solitude for those seeking remote backcountry travel away from developed infrastructure. All visitors must practice Leave No Trace principles: pack out what you pack in, camp responsibly, and travel lightly on the land. There are no maintained facilities, services, or amenities; you are entirely self-sufficient.

Access requires advance planning. Check current conditions and regulations with the Bureau of Land Management before your trip. Spring and fall offer moderate weather, though winter snow and summer heat present real challenges depending on elevation and exposure. Come prepared for a true wilderness experience with no shortcuts or resupply options once you're on the land.
