Soapstone

Part of the fun of camping is trying out new locations and exploring the area.  The Soapstone campground in the Uintas has plenty to offer when it comes to exploring but we came across one thing that I was not expecting…  YMCA Camp Roger! This place is special to me as I spent several summers here when I was younger.  I had thought about it over the years and never really knew where it was and sure enough, we ran…

Granite Flat Campground

Granite Flat Campground

I cant believe that this is only 32 miles from my house…  This is one of the amazing surprises that comes with our camping adventures.  The Granite Flat campground is one of our favorite campgrounds for sure.  It seems much more remote than it is but being so close to home I suspect we will be back.
