West Desert - Utah
Utah's West Desert is a vast area, generally considered west of I-15. Large expanses of barren land hide many charms and gems for those taking the time to find them.

When?

Summers can be brutally hot, and winters brutally cold for short periods. This is a harsh environment. Spring and fall are preferred seasons, although during warm spells the winter can be nice as well.

Where?

The west side of Utah.

What?

There are many things to do in the west desert. For now, I will be adding the very few places I have visited and found interesting. Expect this section to grow in the coming year.
