Welcome to Utah's Outdoor News for the week of June 1st 2018. Last weekend was Memorial day which meant most of Utah went camping. I saw several reports of campgrounds being at max capacity around the state. Now that most of the snow is gone access is getting easier to higher elevation lakes. Although many are still frozen in the Uintas. As you will see below Wall Lake in the Uintas is still iced up. Trial Lake was mostly ice free. If you have any outdoor related reports please email [email protected].
