Great, but no trees.

Friends and I stayed here over memorial day weekend (Thursday-Sunday). It was a very nice place. BLM owned, and no one bothered us. We were able to get here fairly easily but here are two words of warning:

  1. If you're coming from anywhere in that you need to take I-80 E from Salt Lake, DO NOT follow Google/Garmin. Drive to Wendover, and navigate from there. Google/Garmin will take you through Dugway Proving Grounds, a secretive military installation nicknamed "Area 52".
  2. Bring lots of water. There is a water runoff area, but it's always good to bring water. There aren't any bathrooms, so plan accordingly.

It's a nice, treeless area that my buddies and I had a good time at. We were able to shoot guns, and had a real good time. On the downside, there aren't any trees, and it's a lot of brush. Getting up into the actual Scott's Basin, you'll need to either take 4x4 recreational vehicles, or off-road vehicles (Jeeps, Land Rovers, etc.).
