I wanted to say thanks again for making my trip to Salt Lake such a success. You (Julie), Tyson, Rick and Dave each did an amazing job teaching me, taking care of me, and showing me a bit of what the Wasatch has to offer. It was humbling and inspiring to spend time with climbers and skiers of your caliber...

Camp in the Wasatch backcountry and enjoy the serenity at night and first tracks in the morning. Guides will show you how to stay warm and comfortable while winter camping in a spectacular wilderness setting. Or try one of our yurt-based trips, and travel light, yet enjoy warmth and comfort at night!

Overnight winter camping:

Most Wasatch Range tours are accessible in a day, however, UMA guides are happy to teach and guide overnight trips for those wanting to learn winter camping skills and experience the solitude of spending nights in the mountains.

A UMA guide will accompany you into the wilderness and teach you winter camping skills. An early morning start will allow you to set up camp in the mountains and make some runs above camp in the afternoon. Spend the night and get up ready for some more runs or the descent of a nearby summit. Mountaineering skills can be added to the trip as well.

Please Call UMA to discuss your interests and dates.

Private guiding rates apply plus overnight cost:
