Cache NF Dispersed off NF 26711 — Monte Cristo

Tucked at the end of a forest spur off NF 26711 in Cache National Forest's Monte Cristo area, this high-elevation dispersed spot sits at roughly 8,700 feet amid the conifer-and-meadow terrain straddling the Utah–Idaho border near SR-39. Multiple informal fire rings — one large central ring and a few on the perimeter — define a roomy turnaround clearing that eliminates the need to back in, making it accessible for trailers and larger rigs. Wildlife is abundant in the surrounding forest, and the corridor along the highway offers additional dispersed options for groups or overflow.
