Backpacking in Bears Ears National Monument

Backpacking

Respectfully explore the depths of Bears Ears’ backcountry on overnight or multiday backpacking trips. You can experience the wide array of geology and elevations, from cooler ponderosa pine forests to warm, sandstone canyons. Remember it’s feast or famine in Bears Ears when it comes to water, so be prepared to pack in water during dry seasons. Fire regulations vary – it is your responsibility to know and follow current fire regulations for your location.
