Interlodge violations carry a potential $1000 fine and jail time. We're serious about this folks. LIVES CAN BE LOST. We have arrested nine individuals this week including today.

Did you know that in Little Cottonwood Canyon, dogs are not allowed? This policy is in place to protect our watershed, our water resources and keep them pristine. Let’s respect this regulation and explore other dog friendly places around the Salt Lake area.

When Little Cottonwood canyon is restricted, all vehicles including 4x4 need to have rated snow tires. Rated means a M+S or snowflake stamp on the sidewall. If you don't have rated tires, you need chains. More 4x4 and AWD vehicles with bad tires get stuck than any other type.

The #1 question we get this time of year: Is the trail to Cecret Lake open? It is open, but mostly snow covered. Also, the Albion Basin Summer Road is not yet open to vehicle traffic so your hike will be a bit longer. #albionbasin #hiking #kidswhohike #familyhike #cecretlake

A piece of cardboard on the dash with info written on how/where to contact you is very helpful if we need to locate you to move your vehicle. Towing fees can easily exceed $800 and we hate doing it for minor parking violations.
