Snowmobile group seeks information on Uinta trail damage

Deep tracks from a wheeled vehicle on a snowmobile trail in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
Utah Snowmobile Association
Deep tracks from a wheeled vehicle on a snowmobile trail in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

The Utah Snowmobile Association is asking residents and recreators in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest to be on the lookout for cars on snowmobile trails.

The association says Jeeps, pickup trucks and UTVs have been seen on snowmobile trails in the Mirror Lake, Soapstone and Mill Hollow areas over the weekend.

Vehicles over 800 pounds are prohibited and face fines for trail damage and repairs.

The snowmobile association is asking anyone who sees illegal vehicles to report the incidents to the Utah Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Law Enforcement. Tips can be reported to the UTiP hotline number: 800-662-3337 or texted to 847-411. The division says reports can also be called into the local sheriff's non-emergency dispatch number.

Mirror Lake Highway is closed to all vehicle traffic in the winter. It will reopen to cars in the spring once the snow melts.
