It was established by a special act of Congress on April 23, 1928. At the time, many individuals and organizations were concerned about the loss of marsh habitat and waterfowl mortality. In 1843, explorer John C. Fremont described the multitudes of waterfowl at the Bear River delta. As settlement of the Salt Lake valley progressed, market hunting of waterfowl flourished. From 1877 to about the turn of the century, 2 00,000 ducks were harvested each year and sold to eastern hotels and restaurants. During the same period, residents were concerned with the devastating losses to avian botulism. In the 1900's, 50 to 70 percent of the waterfowl stopping to rest and feed died of the disease. Millions of dead birds lied scattered in the marshes - a gruesome spectacle. About the same time, large quantities of river water were diverted for farming, and the delta marshes began to dry. By 1920, about 2 to 3 thousand acres of marsh remained of the original 45,000. The Bear River Refuge comprises 65,000 acres of marsh, open water, and mud flats, which are managed for use by migratory birds.

  • Wilderness Areas on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National
    Wilderness Areas On The Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forests “Wilderness is the land that was wild land beyond the frontier...land that shaped the growth of our nation and the character of its people. Wilderness is the land that is rare, wild places where one can retreat from civilization, reconnect with the Earth, and find healing, meaning and significance.” The United States was the first country to define and create designated wilderness areas. In 1964 the Wilderness Act was passed in congress. The Act describes wilderness as the following: "...lands designated for preservation and protection in their natural condition..." Section 2(a) "...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man..." Section 2(c) "...an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvement or human habitation..." Section 2(c) "...generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable..." Section 2(c) "...has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation..." Section 2(c) "...shall be devoted to the public purposes of recreation, scenic, scientific, educational, conservation and historic use." Section 4(b) Within the Uinta‐Wasatch‐Cache National Forest there are 9 designated wilderness areas. These areas include: Mount Naomi Wilderness, Wellsville Mountain Wilderness, Mount Olympus Wilderness, Twin Peaks Wilderness, Lone Peak Wilderness, Mount Timpanogos Wilderness, Mount Nebo Wilderness, Deseret Peak Wilderness and the High Uinta Wilderness. Each of these areas offer unique wilderness opportunities and experiences. The Mount Naomi Wilderness was designated in 1984 and includes 44,523 acres.

  • Opportunities for Solitude in Salt Lake Ranger District Wilderness Areas; Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
    Opportunities for Solitude in Salt Lake Ranger District Wilderness Areas; Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest Prepared by: Henry Lilly (graduate research assistant) Jeff Rose (co-investigator) Matthew Brownlee (co-investigator) Outdoor Recreation, Education, and Tourism Lab Parks, Recreation, and Tourism University of Utah Salt Lake City, Utah 2016 2 Executive summary Project Purpose: The purpose of this project was to gather field-based data to inform the goals and standards for opportunities for solitude within the Twin Peaks, Mount Olympus, and Deseret Peak Wilderness areas in the Salt Lake Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The collected data, analysis, and final report can be used to inform management standards for monitoring solitude according to the National Minimum Protocol for Monitoring Outstanding Opportunities for Solitude and the Revised Forest Plan for the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. This data, analysis, and report also provide a framework for the solitude element of the Wilderness Stewardship Performance Ratings, and will provide direction for the Salt Lake Ranger District’s Wilderness areas solitude rating for the next 5-10 years. Research Approach: The research approach to this project involved multiple procedures. The main systems of data collection involved the use of GPS and infrared counter data to ascertain the number of recreational users within nine different monitoring areas in three separate designated wilderness areas. These procedures were repeated at each of the monitoring locations 10 times during the high-use summer season to best account for the wilderness areas being able to provide for a sense of solitude. The collected data were analyzed using both tabular comparisons of total groups and total encounters, as well as mapped to provide visual analyses of where encounters were most likely to occur within the nine monitoring areas, and to provide comparison across monitoring areas.
