What to bring

  • Water for people and machines, especially at Ponderosa Grove, which has none
  • Warm layers: at 6,000 feet the nights cool off even after a hot day
  • Shade and sun protection for summer, when the park reports sand temperatures that can hit 140 degrees
  • A fire plan that follows current orders; check Utah Fire Info before you light anything
