Boulder Mountain Backpacking on the GWT: Buhunin/Terrace Loop Utah July 2018
For 4th of July in 2018, I took this opportunity to explore Dixie National Forest's Boulder Mountain area more deeply on this loop covering the Buhunin Creek Trail, the Rim Trail, Terrace Trail, and the Great Western Trail. This area was accessed off of High Way 12 between Torrey and Boulder Utah.
The Great Western Trail is a trail system from Canada down to Mexico and covers 4,455 miles through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. It threads together diverse desert, alpine, forest and plateau landscapes.
You can access 1,600 miles of the trail in Utah from Logan Canyon, Ogden area mountains, the Wasatch Front (Millcreek, Brighton or Alta ski areas), American Fork Canyon and down south near Bryce Canyon and Grand Staircase-Escalante.
Some segments of the trail are non-motorized, and some portions have been developed for motorized use.
The trail is the backbone of Utah's trail system, and in 1996, the Great Western Trail officially became Utah's Centennial Trail as part of the state's statehood centennial celebration.
