Here's a Wasatch Front site that didn't require low 4. It was pretty much OK. You can see the back of the RV tucked into the trees on the left.

That looks like Soapstone Basin in the Uintah Mountains, very nice spot.

Great photos everyone. But how do you go about finding a legal remote location to camp on?

Funny you should ask...I went to the rangers station in the Wayne NF in southeastern Ohio today (It's very close to my home. I asked about Dispersed camping and their advice was to just explore and see what you can find. They told me about some horse trails that had some developed areas at the beginning of the trails (trailheads?) I drove out to them and found a WONDERFUL spot to camp. It had a pit toilet that looked brand new(IE clean) a nice sized meadow, some stands of pine trees with spaces in between to fit my pup, picnic tables, and fire rings. I am so happy that I can do some boondocking as soon as the weather warms up.

Treehugger: If you want to know more, and you are near the southeastern Ohio area, private message me and I will give you further details how to find it.

I went back to the spot I found and took some photo's and I thought id share with you guys.

We love camping in American Fork Canyon and it is an absolutely beautiful canyon to ride ATVs. Maybe one day we'll see you up there.:B

Tiger4x4RV - Now that's what I call a boondocking pic. Beautiful!

Here's a Wasatch Front site that didn't require low 4. It was pretty much OK. You can see the back of the RV tucked into the trees on the left.

This was one of our favorite camping spots for years, Cardiff Fork in Big Cottonwood Canyon along the Wasatch Front.

You can see our truck back in the trees. We camped out of the back of this truck for years. We used to think if it didn't take a 4-wd in low range to get there then you weren't camping.

Today we don't feal the same way.:W:B

To the best on my memory, the "peak" of Mt Antero has been closed for quite a few years, lat time we were there was back in about 1987.

I've climbed Antero four times since 1978 and I doubt there was ever a road near the top. It's way too steep.

Here is a picture of the ridge up Antero looking back at the parking area. You can see there's not much room for a road.

Great picture, thanks. Memory is slipping :W:B

My hats off to you for climbing any of those mountains. I couldn't breath up there and we drove.:B

We went up Webster Pass once only to be stopped by snow, we turned around and went over Red Cone, we never did do Webster, the pucker factor crossin the top of Red Cone was just too good to pass up.
