Red Mountain Wilderness Area

Red Mountain Wilderness Area is an 18,677-acre federally protected Wilderness in Utah, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. As a designated Wilderness, the area is entirely roadless and reserved for non-motorized, primitive recreation. Hiking and backpacking are the primary ways to explore this backcountry landscape, where solitude and self-reliance are defining features of the experience.

Visitors should understand that Wilderness designation means no roads, motors, or mechanized travel of any kind. This protection preserves the area's remote character but also means you'll need to arrive on foot and be fully self-sufficient. Leave No Trace principles are essential—pack out everything you bring in, camp responsibly, and respect the land's primitive nature. Spring through fall is the practical visiting window, though weather and snow can shift accessibility significantly by elevation and aspect.
