Lower Last Chance Wilderness Area

Lower Last Chance Wilderness Area spans over 21,600 acres of federally protected backcountry in Utah, managed by the Bureau of Land Management as a designated Wilderness. The landscape is primitive and roadless, open only to non-motorized travel on foot or horseback. This is a place for hikers and backpackers seeking solitude and untracked terrain away from developed infrastructure.

Visiting means embracing true wilderness rules: no motors, no mechanized travel, no roads, and strict Leave No Trace ethics. You'll navigate by map and compass, camp without facilities, and pack out everything you bring in. Access is on foot or by horse only, and seasonal conditions in Utah's high-desert and mountain zones determine when travel is practical. Spring and fall can be wet; winter snow may close higher terrain. Come prepared for self-reliance, navigation skills, and the reality of genuine backcountry solitude.
